You need to try the PROTEN shakes from Cost Co. They have 30 grams of protein and only 5 carbs. I also bought ISOPURE drinks from GNC. They are a crystal light clear fruit drink and have 40 grams of protein in a 20 oz bottle. Orange tastes like tang. If it weren't for these I would not have gotten through my two weeks post op. I am 7 weeks post op and am down 38 lbs. I still drink a shake for one meal a day.....great source of vitamins and minerals and low cal. Good luck.

Well, 6 days until my surgery. I am so excited and a little nervous. Would love to hear from recent patients about what to expect.......I mean I have read everything my doctor gave me, just curious what real people have to say.:scared2:
