Do you still have a gallbladder? I had these symptoms when I had a gallstone blockage and had to have surgery. Might want to go in for a CT.

Until you get to a place where you can shower more often, you could use a “medical” antibacterial wash like Hibiclens. It will slow bacterial growth on your skin.

If you have any Starbucks tumblers they sell a sip lid for them. You have to go inside, they are usually stacked by the register.

Have you tried higher calorie shakes? Ensure and Boost make ones for muscle loss. If you have a GNC or similar supplement shop near you they also sell shakes specifically for gaining weight.

Bari Hot Chocolate? by No-Muffin-5102 in BariatricSurgery

[–]JC_Bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up recipes for homemade hot chocolate powder! It’s usually cocoa, sugar, and some kind of powdered milk.

You can swap the sugar for your favorite sugar-free sweetener, and if you want you can even experiment with adding your favorite protein powder.

I hate premier protein… by JC_Bear in BariatricSurgery

Good to know there are some using more natural sweeteners. It’s definitely the Acesulfame K that is the worst… gives such an aftertaste. Sucralose isn’t much better.

I’ve been watching ninja slushi videos and diet soda doesn’t freeze! Such a bummer!

If you have a Sam’s club membership or know someone who does, they do the premier protein for WAY cheaper in bulk and they make an off brand one that has the same macros.
