Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I am new here. Looking into surgery. Waiting on my new patient consult to be scheduled. I am leaning towards gastric bypass.

I know at first I will struggle with getting my Protein in. I haven't really tried alot of different Protein Shakes. I have tried Premier Protein and the Walmart chocolate shakes.

Whats your go to protein shakes?

Isopure Dutch chocolate was my fave...i found it the least sweet and the least chalky than others I had tried.

I also used the non-flavoured version to sprinkle on foods.

My favorites were Syntrax Nectar and Unjury products.

I'm currently (at five years out) in love with Big Train Fit Frappe products, but that's not whey Protein isolate, so it's not as good for new post-ops. We were told to stick with whey protein isolate products when we were early out because that's the most absorbable version of protein (Syntrax nectar and Unjury products are both whey protein isolate).

Pre-op, I used Premier Protein and ensure, and like them both just fine.

Post-op, I discovered Fairlife Core Power and OMG, it's the best thing ever! I discovered it at Wawa, and now I get it from Amazon by the case!

I love the Isopure and premier!! The powder mixed with FairLife Fat free is the best!! Is not chalky at all. Also I’ve been adding PBfit powder! Taste like a Peanut Butter chocolate cup!

people's tastes are so different that you're bound to get 100 different answers here. If possible, try to pick up some individual packets to see what you like before forking over $30 or $40 for a huge tub of it that you may end up hating. Places like GNC and Vitamin Shoppe often have packets of some of their Protein powders, or you can order them online (e.g., a package of several individual packets of different flavors of Syntrax).

to answer your question, my favorites were Unjury and Syntrax Nectar products (Unjury has to be ordered from Unjury's Web site - Syntrax products can be ordered from a lot of places, and you'll sometimes see it in stores, too)

Thank you! I'm outgrowing my taste for Premiere for some unknown reason.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
