I checked with my nutritionist today and she gave me a big two thumbs up on using PB2. More protein and very little carbs!

Does anyone out there know if you can have PB2 (powdered peanut butter)mixed with protein powder for your presurgery protein liquig diet?

I am on five protein drinks a day and can have clear nonfat low sodium chicken broth, sf jello and sf popcicles

I started my preop diet yesterday. Day one was not too bad but day two I have been hangry! Trying to find a Protein shake that is not so sweet. My surgery is Mary 27 so I have to do this for two weeks.

I started my two week liquid preop diet today. It hasn't been too bad except for the protein drinks. They are so sweet. Any suggestions for ones that aren't? I have tried Oh Yeah! and Premier Protein. I can do anything for two weeks but any suggestoins would be so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds great. Looking forward to it! Thanks for taking the rings!!!!!!!!!!!

banana charm keep me posted. When are you attending the pre op class?

ShelbyGasche I am worried about the liquid preop diet for two weeks. I know I will be hangry!!!!! I am going to come home from work and go to bed! My surgeon is Dr. Mario Morales in St. Louis.

terisis I am in Missouri.

I begin my two week liquid diet on May 13 and surgery is on May 27. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Best phone call ever today!

I had to smile when reading this because I can just see this happening in my house when I finally get sleeved. He can't understand why Dairy Queen won't be considered soft food!

My doctor submitted my paperwork on 4/23 and I had approval on 4/29! I have UHC.

That is awesome news. More motivation for me. Thanks for the update!

I received my fianl insurance approval good to go call today. Nurse will be calling tomorrow to give me a date. So excited!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in OFallon MO and would be interested in being part of this group!

JessicaAnn we are just about the same everything! I am 5' 2". My surgery will be late May. It will be encouraging to follow each others progress!

Thanks everyone!

Has anyone had a hiatal hernia repair the same time as their sleeve surgery? Does it increase your recovery time? Anything I should be aware of?

You look awesome. Still waiting for my date. I am where you started. How tall are you?

Don't forget to bring your ruby slippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A+ to your hubby for taking you for that drive to your surgeon. So glad you are on the mend.

I am getting so impatient waiting to hear from my insurance company. How long did is take you Loveit2012 to get approval from the time it is submitted by his office? I am so ready it is all I can think about!!!!!

Best wishes and prayers. Not ashamed to admit I am jealous!!!!!

Only the latte flavor. That is the one that seemed the least appealing!

I've been encouraged to purchase Bariatric Advantage protein shakes for my pre-surgery meals. Has anyone used these and what flavors did you like or dislike?
