What's your favorite pre-op protein? I HATE sucralose



Recommended Posts

I really dislike Sucralose ( Splenda.)

To the point that it makes me gag. My surgeon doesn't care WHICH I choose, as long as I get 60-70G of Protein and 800 Calories per day. I can't do that on Unjury unflavored powder.

I have tried Slim fast, Premier, Optifast, Muscle milk.

I am ready to CRY, how am I going to do this for THREE weeks?? Two pre-op and one post.

Any suggestions?

I really like the Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle and I am really picky about taste.

A friend bought me a container of the syntha-6 whey Protein Powder (strawberry milkshake flavor). I mix it with 1% milk and I love it. Have you tried a powder instead of already made shakes?

Maybe Isopure (the zero carb or low carb varieties)? It does list sucralose as an ingredient but I don't find them overly sweet so there likely isn't much. Also, I HATED splenda before surgery and it made me very sick. But, after surgery I have found that I can tolerate it with no problems and don't mind the taste in some things. So after surgery you might try some things again that you didn't like before and it might open up more options.

Have you tried GNC lean 25 shakes? I like them better than anything.

I drink Premier Protein chocolate everyday & love it. I’m 4 weeks post op & it’s very flavorful without a bad aftertaste.

Prior to surgery, I loved the Premier Protein “Banana Creme” the best & “Caramel” was good too. After surgery these two flavors are just way too sweet for me, but I still love the chocolate. They have 30 grams of protein too!! :)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I am going to spend the weekend securing samples of what I can and having a tasting party.

      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?
