BLS

I tried the Isopure and they left a after tast only a slever could love. Dont get me wrong I have some in my fridge and I will drink them after surgery but I am still searching for something without that kind of after tast.

Even though I have been told my tasts could change. I am having my sugery on Jan 26th. I have been trying some of the protein shakes. So far I like the Pure Protein shakes. I hav etried Chocklot, strawberry, and Vinalla and I like all of them. They have 35 grams of protein, 4 Carbs, and 1 gram of sugar. 160 to 170 calories per 11oz can. I found them at GNC and Trader Joes in Washington state. I was going to buy them on line but shipping made them more expensive than buying them local.

My name is Bryan and I just found this forum two days ago. I have my surgery planned for Jan 26, 2012. Nine days and counting. I am 54 years old and have been fighting the weight issue all my life. I was at 366lbs when I started this journey and now I am at 338 thanks to Christmas. Didn’t go crazy but did stray off my diet. I only gained 2 lbs so I was really happy when I weighed in last Friday. I have been through all the hoops my insurance has me go through. It has been a 6 month process. I am having my surgery done at Overlake hospital in Bellevue Washington. My Surgeon is David Lauter. Everything I can find is showing him as a reputable Dr who does a lot of these surgeries. So I am comfortable with him and his abilities. Up until yesterday I was really excited. Then I started reading about all the people that had complications. Not just little ones but stuff that could be life threatening. Granted I have read many success stories but the bad outcomes are what really has been sticking in my mind. Several times a day I go back and forth with my self about if I am doing the right thing. But at the end of the day the answer is always yes. I am moving forward and now that I have found this site I know there are others that have been through this and I wont be alone. Thank you all for the information and the experiences you share with everyone. I am sure you will be hearing more from me and I sure will be reading all I can. Thanks
