How everyone I just had my vsg surgery on 5/22/17. I am almost 3 weeks out I feel great, my incision are almost heal I am tolerating liquids fine the only problem I encounter was not liking none of the Protein Shakes. My last resource was the sugar free carnation Breakfast & I like it. The only problem is I was worried because 13 grams of Protein per shake is not enough to meet the requirements so I bought fairlife milk that have 13 grams of protein plus the the shake makes it 26 grams of protein in each shake. Just putting it here just in case anyone else have a similar situation or problems with the protein shakes. I am very excited with this new journal I am starting can't wait to start exercising.

Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I really like the vanilla, try different flavors until you find one you like. Also, there is a product called Isopure, which has a ton of Protein and may flavors, I have to dilute with Water because I don't like the taste.

Also, you can get whey Protein Powder and make your own, just make sure to limit the sugar.

As you know getting enough protein is super critical to our success.

Good luck!

I like Premier Protein, I also sometimes like Syntrax Nectar as a sort of juicy, fruity alternative to the thick and creamy various ice cream style flavors.

      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.
