3 days from SADI-S surgery (duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy)
I am scheduled for SADI-S surgery(duodeno–ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy) November 19th. Feeling really anxious but excited. I haven't really found a protein powder that I like so far. Has anyone used pre-made protein shakes after surgery that were good? I am doing a 7 day pre-op liquid diet but the powder shakes are making me nauseous. Any recommendations?
Have you checked out Nashau Nutrition? You can order lots of sample protein packs from them which is awesome.
I really like Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate which I make with unsweetened original almond milk in a Blender Bottle. I drink it from the Blender Bottle too, so that I don't have to smell it so much!

Thank you. I am a little nervous about having a procedure that is "new". I too failed with the lap-band so I was a little apprehensive with choosing this surgery. But my doctor said it is showing very good results at the 5 year study. If you come across anyone who has had this procedure please have them message me. I would love to talk to as many people I can to see how they are doing with this surgery.
You'll find a few SADI patients over on the DS board. They hang there because our nutritional needs are similar, and we're all watching you like lab rats, curious (hoping) that we have another wls breakthrough.
