I haven't had my surgery yet but I know I have a very weak stomach I have been trying different protien shakes but I haven't like any of the high protien ct shakes so I was thinkIng I can supplement with the shots I can gulp it down and it will stay but if I try to drink the shakes. I know it won't. so i'm just planning ahead. I didn't like the crystal light suggestion either it was in a review. I think I would just like to gulp it down I know if you don't get enough your hair will thin. Is the bullet made by the same company ? I'm going to look it up

Question??? they have whey protein shots(made by body Fortress). It has 26g protien per serving they come in fruit punch flavor you down them like a shots(2oz) or you can mix them with your crystal light or whatever . the reviews say they don't taste the greatest but they aren't gross either. They come in little viles that you can keep with you( kind of like the 5hr energy bottles but they are just protein packs) I thought that was a lot of protien and pretty easy to keep with you everyday after you have surgery. I saw a lot of people were having a few problems geting all thier protien in while they are healing. Has anyone tried them before? if so what did you think ?

Hang in there you are sliding into home base...I want to do like you TXgirl1 and start slowly with the protien shakes and by the time I am on the pre-op diet I will be use to the protien shakes and maybe it will feel more like normal(hopefully at least) I am praying my DR is merciful enough to have me do the shakes for beakfast and lunch and a low carb/ low fat meal for dinner) instead of only protein shakes all day

I hope you are feeling better soon

Hi Linda good luck

Hi I know you will do great good luck

Good luck to you both

Love it joined the blog great information

Glad to hear you are feeling better

It is best to call the number on the back of your medical card or go to their website every Insurance varies so much for exampleI have Anthem BCBS which covers the surgery but it is through my husbands employer so luckily his employee didn't change the basic. Coverage that Anthem BCBS has he could have & I wouldn't. Be covered so that's why you have to call them directly

Hi Jessica there is a lot to learn on this site I wish you luck keep us posted

Ok fresh start don't beat yourself up about the past you can't change it so don't dwell on it just refocus and get.back on the bandwagon good luck you can do it

Congrats on the surgery dates Good luck everyone

I believe you just have to show that you have had weight issues for 5yrs you PC DR would be a good source for the requirement. Good luck

congrats to you

from what I read they help when you get stuck(the food is not moving through the band easily) it helps the food breakdown and move through. Most people get stuck if the food is really dry, they are eating too fast and not chewing fully.

Congrats and speedy recovery

Hope your are feeling better cfurrey soon

I also read pineapple juices works that would be easier to find

Is there any Anthem BCBS bandster. From OK is it hard to get approval
