My surgery date is July 5. I need to go ahead and buy my daily Vitamin, Calcium vitamin, and some Protein Powder.

What brands/flavors do most of y'all prefer? My NUT has recommended powder brands Unjury, Isopure, Inspire, or nectar. And where do y'all order it from?

Thanks in advance and sorry if there's already a post about this. I may not have scrolled far enough to find one.

Vitamin World, GNC, Amazon, Cotsco have Protein powder. You can go get individual packets at GNC and VW to try. I like Jay Robb strawberry and dreamsicle and premade Premier chocolate, but everyone is different and tastes change after surgery too - so don't buy mega tubs until you try some.

I love Isopure. I prefer powder to their drinks, but that's a personal choice. All the stuff you mentioned is available on Amazon.com among others.

I use GENEPRO in my coffee every morning. No taste to it. Dissolves completely. 30g of Protein in one small scoop but I've been told it's actually half of that. I'm ok with that! 15g first thing in the morning is great!

I've tried the Nextar Protein Shakes and like all the ones I've tried. I'll see if I can find a link to a sample pack that you can order. Caramel Macchiato was my favorite! Taste just like an ice one from Starbucks

      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?
