Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I got mine at GNC, but I think VitaminShoppe has it too.

since I'd bought a whole bunch, I put a few oz in a shot glass, and drank them like a shot, holding my nose and following them with a Crystal Light Chaser. It's literally the ONLY way I could do it
they are a great source of protein, and some peeps do like them. For me they are no longer an option. Nectar is so damn good, and I love it, and it's just as good for protein :)
I too love my Nectar with milk, banana pieces thrown in occassionally.
One would think I would tire of Chocolate Truffle but I love it!!
I am not so creative when it comes to shakes because I am not at the stage of eating what I want, but When the nut says EAT.I have a TON of protein shakes and a Juicer for veggies i will use.
Nectar is the one to go with. Much better taste, cheaper to buy and more flavors to choose from. You can get a 14 pack sample pack online to try them for like $14. I bought some this Spring to have onhand.

Scroll down to where it says "Nectar Variety Sample Packet Blowout" to read how to order them.
I was told by my nutritionist to stick with Whey or Soy protein, and to make sure the protein is the first ingredient listed. I've also been told that the calorie count should be 190 or less per serving and the sugar should be under 5 mg per serving.
Your taste may change after surgery so what you may like now, you may not like post op. It's worth a try to find one you do like though so that you have it on hand when it's time.

Everyone's tastes are different so you have to try what you want and see how your tastebuds react.
Good Luck
Our Physician will only allow us to have Whey Isolate...
