I also started the day after surgery. I think it must shock the system or something, because I shouldn't have. I'm sure it is something that the surgeons would gladly advise you on.

The nutritionist didn't release me for protien bars until about 3 months out, the lifetime stage. I never did a lot of shakes. I added protein powder to everything and reached my quota that way.

My staples are eggs, string cheese, cottage cheese, and Isopure zero carb drinks. Nearly every morning I'll scramble an egg, usually adding a quarter cup off mozzarella cheese to give a little protein boost. Though this morning I made a big batch of pumpkin spice protien pancakes and froze a bunch in an effort to change…

I went with the RNY after researching and talking to the surgeon extensively.
