  1. Thanks :-) did u have to drink it b4 surgery? Also im afraid of drinking only that then getting hypoglycemic. Does the protien help with that? Were u still hungry?
  2. Thank you both! :-) do they keep you full before surgery?
  3. Can i ask why sleevers have to drink protien powders? Do they aid in weight loss/ keep you from gettig hypoglycemia? Are they safe? Im confused..
  4. Whats the dealwith this?? Does this prevent hypoglycemia? Is it safe?
