So I am starting to research and try out Protein powders & drinks so that I know what I like and don't like. And don't waste a ton of money on. Going to start trying them before my surgery which is in December. I would love recommendations. So what I am looking for is pre-made Protein Drinks, and powder protein where you make the drinks yourself. So I would love to know what your favorite is and of course what not to waste money on. I am sure a similar thread has been done before but here it is again :-) Thanks for your help!!!

My NUT recommended the Premier Protein ones from Sams club and I really like them. I am a coffee drink and in school, so I use 2 Protein drinks (usually caramel or chocolate) and use them to flavor my morning latte which is about 11 oz. All together it makes a 33 oz latte which I keep in a stainless steel vacuum insulated bottle and sip on from about 6 am-10:30 am. That keeps me full and focused on school and gets me through until my break at 11, I eat lunch at about 12 snack around 2 and I’m good until school is out at 4. I carry a coffee bottle and water bottle around all morning and a second bottle of Water around late afternoon & evening. I am not a big Breakfast eater so my NUT is happy that I am getting my protein in the form of my coffee. She wants me on Decaf by my surgery date (11/21) and for at least 6 weeks after. I will just wean myself to decaf and keep it up.
For powder I have tasteless Isopure and I plan to add it to my bone broths and water when I hit the liquid stage, since my mornings are covered. It was cheap on Amazon, I haven’t tried it yet (saving for liquid stage) but if it is tasteless it should be fine for me. Curious to hear what others suggest [emoji177]


Have a great day!

My favorite in Unjury which is medical Protein Powder. They also have sample packets online so you can try it before you buy a lot. My favorite is chocolate and strawberry and the flavorless which you can add to any and everything for added Protein.

      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.
