Hi everyone!

Post surgery, I will be on a liquid diet for approximately 10 days. I don't want to have just Protein Shakes, so wanted to inquire about how you guys made high Protein broths. I've tested a great homemade Bone Broth (using chunks of been bones as my dad is a meat cutter), but don't want to eat that all the time everyday. I found another recipe that calls for TrueNutrition Beff Isolate Protein, and Egg White Protein. Has anyone used that brand before? What about those specific types of Protein Powder? I've only used whey products to date.

Additionally, anyone have any recipes to share? I've tried the boxed versions they sell and they were not for me.

I didn't because many of the "bone Protein powders" are made primarily with hydrolyzed collagen and other Proteins that don't carry the full spectrum of 9 essential amino acids. The only 3 that my surgeon recognize and wants us on are: whey, egg, or soy.

But I used unflavored protein and added it to homemade Bone Broth. It tasted lovely and gave a break from the sweets!

You're so lucky to have a meat cutter in your fam!!

I found a variety of powdered bone broths at my local TJmaxx/Home goods that gave me a bunch of variety. That said don't kid yourself you are still going to be getting most of your Protein by choking down those damned shakes. Try cutting the shakes with unflavored protein or peanut powder if the shake flavor is complementary (I'm fond of banana Protein Shakes with the PB powder).

Add unflavored Protein mix to your broth. I get mine at GNC. GENEPRO micronized protein. It dissolves very easy because it's very fine.

The Protein Shakes are driving me crazy, I am going to go postal/Facebook soon. Do not buy vanilla flavored Premier Protein shakes. Trust mem

1/2 premier protein+decaf coffee 2x a day makes me happy :) I can live with with drinking 1 whole a day, but don’t want to do more than that if I don’t half to

Although I'm not a big vanilla fan, I used the Premier Protein vanilla instead of Creamer in my chai tea - delicious!

      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?
