Thanks for the replies everyone. I made some today and my nut suggested adding powdered milk to increase the protein. It was good!

I am on full liquids and wondering about making my own potato soup. If it is pureed to a liquid consistency, would it be okay?

If you email different protein powder companies a lot of them will send you samples of their products for little or no money. My favorite is Chike. www.chikenutrition.com You get 5 samples for about 7 bucks. Check the diet and nutrition thread on this site under protein powders for a list of places to get samples. I am pre op so I can't speak for how you will feel after surgery. Best of luck finding a protein powder you like!

Thanks, I needed to hear this!

I am getting sleeved February 8th and am also in the process of saying goodbye to foods I will no longer be able to eat after surgery. I am dreading starting the liquid diet I have to start this coming Monday, I am hoping I get used to broth and protein shakes quickly. lol

This is just the kind of info I was hoping to hear. I had been hearing so many people tell me that the lapband would not work well for diabetes that bypass was the only way to go. Being someone who tends to be a binge eater, the band sounds like a better option for me than the bypass just based on that alone. Thanks for helping me make my mind up guys!

I'm wondering if anyone has had their diabetes resolved after getting the band. I have to decide which surgery I want to have and would like to have the band as it is the least invasive option, but have heard its not so great for diabetics. Anyone advice or experience would be appreciated!
