Can't get protein shake down



Recommended Posts

Has anybody tried unflavored Protein Powder in a flavored water? Does it become thick? I'm struggling to get my Protein in. The thickness of the regular Protein Shakes is too much. Need help. Feeling very weak and fatigued. I am two weeks post op.

Does anybody know of a protein powder that dissolves completely?

Get some Atkins lift Water Protein Drinks. Lemon one is the best one. It was the only thing I could get down after surgery because everything else so thick. They got some on sale at big Lots for 2 dollars a 4 pack.

I found the chocolate Unjury's powder wasnt thick at all. Even after using a thicker soy milk or almond milk. With Water it was just as thin as water. It put me in the mind of a chocolate yoohoo drink. It does have an after flavor but i haven't found a drink that doesn't. It was my favorite so far though.

I second the Atkins Lift Protein drinks. I wasn't able to stomach shakes either but these I have no issue with. I still drink two a day.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
