NO Pre-Op 2 Week Diet & Protein Shakes
Kay Adams replied to Shrinking Justine's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is Syntrax Nectar. They havery their own website or u can buy them from Amazon.com. U may have stores in your area that sell it. Good luck. They had a sample pack of 11 flavors for $13 and free shipping. -
Why is there a need for both surgeries? I don't understand why one or the other wouldn't be sufficient. Is u have plication, then what is the band doing? The stomach has already been reduced. Someone please educate me on this procedure.

The pain is more soreness than anything else. The pain meds they will give u will suffice. I've had several surgeries and this was the easiest. -

Pre-Op Liquid Diet problems!
Kay Adams replied to Tina Martin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is scheduled for the 13th and I have had to do 3 weeks of protein shakes. I do get to eat one small meal of chicken or fish and salad or veggies. I cheated on the holiday. It can be done. Keep on trying. -

As for Oprah some people are just afraid of surgery. She might be one of those. Has she ever done a show on WLS? -
I know this is going to be a problem for me once I get on foods. I'm to be banded next Wednesday.

2 weeks until New Life/Day 2 of Liquids Only! OY!
Kay Adams replied to MissMay's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
What did the liver shrinking portion of the diet consist of? I have been on a 3 week pre-op diet. Surgery next Wednesday. Consisted of protein shakes and 1 lite protein meal a day. Chicken and fish, salad. Greek yogurt, applesauce. Strawberries, and oatmeal. Been difficult but doable. -
So sorry to hear this? Have u ever tried liquid diets? U might be able to lose faster drinking 2 protein shakes and eating a lite dinner to lose quickly. Just a suggestion.

Best Protein Shakes
Kay Adams replied to Ro-Jae327's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
4everFit makes great tasting fruit flavored ones u can get samples from their website. Also love Unjury chocolate splendor. Walmart sells Body Fortress whey protein, chocolate peanutbutter is good as well as the plain chocolate. It has 52 grams of protein. My doc says just use one scoop cutting it down to 26 grams. The syntax nectar have all been good. Hope this helps. -
