Hi, i am 12 days post surgery and in my phase 3. I need more Proteins but can't eat that powder stuff anymore.

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.

      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.
