You can always try adding to it. I add Greek yogurt and PB fit to my morning Protein Breakfast shake, both add extra protein

Isopure has a lot of different flavors. You've tried them all? I'm sipping the espresso flavor as I type this.

I had the same problem with the Protein Shakes then I tried Bariatric Pal (online), I mix with 1% milk, crushed ice and whip up in the Nutri Bullet. I love it, at 4 mos out I still start my day with them. 27 grams of Protein right out of the gate! I mix the vanilla and chocolate 1 scoop of each and I love it!! Good Luck, cant wait to hear your success story!!!!!!!

I don't mind the Premier pre-mixed shakes, but making shakes from the powder is disgusting (for me at least). I've been using Syntrax powders (both traditional powders - chocolate, vanilla, and unflavoured) and Syntrax Nectars (which are like drinking juice) both pre- and post-op. In both cases you get 23g of Protein, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, 100 calories. The nectars I usually mix with just Water, but the powders I mix with unflavoured almond milk (or soy milk), and if I'm using chocolate, I usually add some PB2 Peanut Butter powder and (sometimes) either unflavoured/unsweetened Greek yogurt or half a small block of fresh soft tofu (the latter will make it thick like a milkshake), plus (usually) a banana. On top of that I always add either flax or chia seeds (ground). All those add-ons add to the protein count (often I get between 30-35g, depending on what I use).

Oh - my new favourite smoothie is mixing Syntrax Roadside Lemonade with unsweetened almond milk, and 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries (or other berries) - it's really refreshing in the summertime!

I can't for the life of me stomach whey protein... gives me liquid poos for the entire day.

Been using pea Protein and that works for me even though I hate the taste.

Amazon has a lot of sample size packs you can order to try versus buying a whole container without knowing if you like it or if you're like me and your body just rejects it outright

You aren't the only one. I try and stick to vegan protein and paleo protein both work. When I'm too lazy to make a shake I drink a premier but usually regret it. No clue why.

      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?
