I will be starting my pre op diet on Monday the 20th with my surgery scheduled for October 27th. I cannot stand anything with artificial sugar in it. It all has a terrible aftertaste to me and I will get a headache and yucky feeling in my stomach afterwards. I have been trying different ones since knowing I would be having this surgery. I am hoping to be able to get thru all the pre op and post op without the sugar free drinks or drops. I can do sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and puddings. I love regular Water and am hoping that will continue after surgery. I was just wondering if anyone else out there has this issue too??

I ordered samples of this off their website, can't wait to try it out. Would love to hear from more people how you like/dislike this stuff.

I have ordered two samples from their website to try, http://www.musclegen.net/#!contact/ce84 for $2.84 including shipping. I have been trying Protein drinks but not having much luck with any of them. The samples came really quickly, can't wait to try them!!

I found this Protein from a blog from a woman who had VSG surgery. I ordered the sample and I am hoping it mixes into things effortlessly as it states. It is suppose to have 30g of protein in each Tbsp scoop and is unflavored. I was just wondering if anyone else has used it or knows anything else about it. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 27th and I am having a VERY hard time finding protein that I like.

My surgery was originally scheduled for Nov 3rd, my doc office called on this past Tuesday to reschedule. My surgery is now set for October 27th. YIKES!! My mom had to reschedule her flights in to be with me, my husband had to get his time off rescheduled and I had to make sure my work schedule was good to go. Now that that is all set I think I can handle this change. =)

I love all the information in this thread so far. I have a real problem with fake sugars, and most protein drinks. I am hoping to find an unflavored one that will work for me so keep your suggestions coming. I am waiting now for my sample pack from UNJURY to come in. Does anyone have any information on the MuscleGen Protein powder. Seems almost to good to be true, with 30g of unflavored protein in a 1 TBSP.

I have Aetna and was got my approval about 2 weeks after they submitted. Mind you I had to do a 6 month doctor monitored weight loss program, which I started in February. And then in May I received a letter saying that the hospital my surgery would be at was longer under contract with Aetna. Boy was I bummed, actually more bummed than I thought I would be. But then at the end of July they reinstated the contract with the hospital. So I called the doctor back and started back up from where I had left off. I just had to do the psych eval and then the submitted. I really thought I would be denied at first, and was so surprised when they called me this past Monday to tell me I was approved. My surgery is scheduled for November 3, 2014. I am gonna to tell you what my husband keeps telling me.....if you think negative thoughts negative things will happen. I am a big "what if...." person. It's hard but I am trying to be more positive. Hang in there worrying over things you can't control will drive you nuts!! Good Luck!!!

I have my surgery scheduled for November 3rd!! I was so surprised when my approval came thru so quickly!! I go between nervousness and excitement!! I am in Tucson AZ!!
