Isopure has 40g of Protein and tastes pretty good, at times a bit sweet. I also got a flavored water additive from Bariatric Choice. Only 15g of protein but I think they taste better and are a bit cheaper. They also have little shots, like 5 hour energy, think they were 18g.

This one is my favorite. It is a liquid that you pour in Water.

Hopefully they still offer free shipping for you!

At Vitamin Shoppe and GNC they sell clear Isopure with 40 grams of Protein I suggest you Water it down or use lots of ice!!! I also can drink muscle milk (lactose free) they have a 20 gram liquid shake with 100 calories. I wasn't able to use the powders or drink milk products so the isopure is the best for me

Atkins has a pretty good Protein water/drink that I was able to tolerate much better than then shakes during the early stages.

I eat vanilla greek yogurt and add 1 tbs of Peanut Butter Protein Powder for a total of 15 grams of Protein. It's delicious.

My surgery was on sept 6th. I usually have 1 pre mixed Protein Shake in the am, Greek yogurt and cottage cheese during the day. Just those 3 almost get me to my goal. chicken salad, a Protein dense Soup or a latte usually rounds out my day. I found that when I tried eating foods that were less protein dense or tried to drop the shake, I struggled to get to goal. I'm eating between 700- 800 cal a day.

I was drinking Premier Protein shakes pre and post surgery and it constipates me very bad and causes a lot of trouble. Can anyone shed light on their Protein choices and how they effect their BM’s





That’s Protein supplements in general plus lack of Fiber and healing and residual from pain meds and anesthesia.

Add some soluble fiber like benefiber and some usoluble like Metamucil.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
