Bariatric WLS Products



Recommended Posts

What are some products that you have purchased for the WLS process? Pre-op and post-op. I see a lot of Bariatric Protein products online and was wondering what is really useful. I don't want to overdue it and buy a bunch of stuff I don't really need or won't use. Also, where do you buy these items for the best price?

I plan to try several Protein shakes (pre-made and powdered) before surgery. I prefer the ones that let you buy a sample size, you don't want to buy some huge bottle of something you don't end up liking.

You are going to get a lot of different answers, everyone likes different things, but keep in mind that many people say their taste buds change after surgery so don't buy too much of anything. You may end up thinking a product you loved before surgery tastes awful, and vice versa.

I like the idea of unflavored powders you can mix with regular foods. Most people say they get tired of those sweet shakes really quickly!

I bought a sample pack from unjury. It was a good way to try a few flavors without the commitment. I also bought some ready to drink Protein drinks so that I didn't have to prep anything the first few days. Buying one basic vanilla or unflavored powder is a fairly safe bet since you can flavor it with everything from cocoa powder to Crystal Light.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
