Thanks I needed to hear that I don't have a super one I have Wal-Mart so I'll get the fortress protein powder thank you so much for your help. Also how many fortress shakes do I need a day? & do you do the 1 scoop or 2 scoop or 3 scoop of the powder in each serving?

If you have reflux can you still have the surgery or does that disqualify you

How long does the sore throat last? & what exactly are they looking for? I have mine on the 9th of October I'm scared to I hate sore throats

Oh no I'm praying for a speedy recovery that is not fun please take it easy & don't rush going home until your ok I'm praying for you

Thank you all so much I love all the advice I'm getting this helps cause I feel as if we are everyone's cheerleaders & I need that push to say you can do this Tina you got this & I really thank you all for being there also the fortress whey protein is that the name of the protein drinks? If so where do you buy them & how much are they? If it's a different protein drink whatbarebthwy called & does anyone know what protein shakes that are inexpensive & do they have a store brand like the Wal-Mart Brand etc....I'm on a very tight budget I'm on disability & food assistance so it's hard to find something that I can afford thank you & what should I look for in a protein shake or drink? Such as 0fat & 0sugars & tons of protein? I haven't seen the nutritionist yet I see her on the 20th

What does your liquid diet consist on? Can you give me a rundown of what you drink PLEASE THANK YOU

Thank you so much for guiding me your all AWESOME

I have my nutritionist appt on the 20th. So no I haven't spoke to anyone yet I just got my cardiologist clearance yesterday & I have my EGD scheduled for the 9th. Of this month I'm going to get my pulmonary clearance on the 16th. So I'm just now getting all my clearances

Congratulations on your approval so happy for you????

Thank you both so much for the much needed advice I'm so thankful to have such wonderful peers & I am so glad I'm not the only one going through this I'm in my pre surgery stage as well & I don't want to be denied my surgery due to 1lb. Of weight which will deny me my surgery. Is it ok to eat Greek yogurt? I know it has 15g.Of protein & what about the cliff protein bars? Would a protein shake such as special k or slimfast work to substitute one of my meals?

Welcome bigdog56????
