I'M GONNA DO IT

I have been reading all the messages for the past few days, and I am very inspired. I will join the ranks of the banded this Friday and I am very excited. My husband is being super supportive (He had gastric by=pass about 10 years ago and is literally half the man he used to be), so much so in fact, that he said if insurance wouldn't pay, we would, so we did.

 

All of the information I have been reading is very informative. You all area so supportive of each other.

 

I do have one question tho, what kind of protein drink did you use when on your liquid diet? I have been drinking EAS advantEDGE and wonder if it will be OK to continue with that, or should I try something else?

 

I am eager to hear from anyone and WISH ME LUCK. I will keep you posted.

    Congrats on your upcoming surgery and welcome! :) I also did the EAS Advantedge shakes pre-op and have continued them post-op, I'm now at 3 weeks post-op. I also ordered Unjury which is great for bariatric patients. If you don't buy the shakes I would recommend getting the unflavored whey protein so that you can add it to shakes and soups it helps you get your protein.

    Good luck and feel free to get in touch with any questions!

    I agree with Lisa. I am drinking the Carnation Instatant Breakfast and the Bariatric Advantage shakes but often cant finish them, so I was having a hard time getting in all my protein, so I ordered the Unjury protein (unflavored) and I mix it with pudding or with unsweetened koolaid and it is a great way to get in the extra protein. Good Luck!
