My nut does not recommend puree because many people dont like it. She suggest that once at that stage chew food until its very fine... try that I think it would be a lot better than the actual puree

I felt the same way. I couldn't keep any of those disgusting Protein shakes down. Until a few days ago I found this Protein shake it has 20grams of protein. Its by Sunkist natural and very delicious they can be found at Winn Dixie by the vegetables and at Albertsons grocery store no sure exactly where. But give it a shot. [ATTACH]8407[/ATTACH]

I have tried the premier and it is one of those that make me gag as well. I seem to be at a loss. Dont know what to do cause i know I need my protein.

I am 4 days post op and I have tried several different protein shakes and flavor all of them a very disgusting. Everyone I drink makes me sick and throw them up which hurts really bad. A friend of mines suggested that I cook some red beans and eat the juice off the red beans for protein. I have no issue with the juice from the red beans they gone done very easily and have it about 4 to 5 times a day. Is this a great idea. Because I can not do the protein shakes I even tried a product called Idea protein which provides soups, mash potatoes with protein and much more. But i bean doing the red beans juice for the past two days is this a good source to get my protein??? Please Help!!!!!!

I have been using the gas x strips but still no relief. .. I can't even keep protection or water down I can only stand to popsicles.... is this normal

Will this gas ever go away. ...... gas is wirse then the surgery. Any suggestions to get rid of it

we dont have a COSTCO here Baton Rouge.

I hate the smell of the protein shakes has anyone tired a substitue or something else. I was wondering is the special K protein shakes just as good. I am 5 days til surgery really need advice.

Welcome and congrats on the decision and to your husbands successful weight loss. My surgery is just 7 days before yours. I can wait 5 days and counting. Good luck!!!

$99.00 wow that's crazy to expensive for a fork.

yayyy!!! im so happy for you.

looking forward to the regular food im still pre-op for 6 more days but i know the first few weeks will be hard.

I truly understand where you are right now... I was in your shoes could not make up my mind doing research after research but I just ultimately got fed up with being over weight. I am 130lbs over weight and I am miserable so I have decided to put my big girl panties on and do what best for me and my future to live a healthier life. I am sure many people who are not over weight or people who do not understand what you are going through will say you are taking the easy way out.... I can assure you its not the easy way out the verticle sleeve surgery is a tool to help you lose weight and become healthier. I have not had my sleeve done yet but I will have it in 10 days and I can not wait.... I am just looking forward to losing more than 10 to 20 lbs because I also have never lost over that on all these fad diets. But I think you have come to the right place if you are looking for support and great advice... I love this site and the support I get from it.

I think about them being apart of a stepping stone so that you can reach your ultimate goal.

My surgery is the same same as your and my doctor has not put me on pre diet...I go see him on the 1/8/13 I guess he may do so then. But I am not sure. Myabe I should start my own pre diet.

Thanks a lot guys your advice has truly is being helpful.

Well you are right I do see the picture at the end i guess i will be tossing this diet coke here on my desk. The start of a new journey.

My surgery is rapidly approaching in 11 days so I am still drink my DIET COKES....When should I stop? Better yet do I have to stop? I have atleast 4 to 5 a day? PLEASE HELP!!!

Good luck. I hope all will go well.

Well my nutrionist told me do not eat within 15 minutes of drinking something. If you eat something you must wait 45minutes before drinking something.

You had to do six month with a nutritionist?? Who are you insured through? Congrats on being so close!!!

Thats very understandable because I feel the exact same way... excited and nervous I only have 11 more days AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! i guess im still in panic mode trying to ensure I have everything I need.

Congrats!!!
