Tomorrow is my day 40 Post-op!!! Yay!! What do your daily diets/meals look like? I have read so many posts, and watched so many you-tube videos. Some eat very low carbs, no fruits and some eat it all... I don't want to mess up my "sweet" losing period by doing it wrong.

Every morning I do my shake in the blender with a cup of cold coffee and some chocolate WF syrup. Taste just like a blended mocha! Sorry to just miss you! Good luck with all!! I'm going to have to try that shake. Sounds delicious

I'm on the 26th too Taking pre-op diet one day at a time, but is going well!

I just read every page and wish I would have found this thread sooner! I'm in the middle of full liquids pre-op and it's going good Surgery date is Jan 26th with Dr. Ortiz at OCC. I'm excited, nervous, and looking forward to a forever, healthier me! See you on the post-op side soon

[quote name="Rebecca Friesen" post="3665419" timestamp="1416020815" So i am having a hard time finding a protein drink to use. I am in Saskatchewan Canada and looking for a fruit flavored one that isnt thick. Any thoughts??? I am not a shake type of person but could do juice to sip away at. I buy "Sexy Freak - body sculpt " from Believe Fit. I know they are in Saskatoon (not sure where you are). It has an awesome 39 Grams of protein and is not thick like a milkshake. I'm in Calgary. My surgery is Jan 26th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC

For my post-op plan I bought the recommended vitaleph (at vitaleph.com), I did buy the premier shakes at costco (30g Protein) as well as a Protein called "Sexy Sculpt" with 39g of protein. I buy it a Believe Fit. I have been trying several different shakes for flavour.

I live in Calgary SE and I will be having my surgery on January 12th at OCC in Mexico with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Which Vitamins and shakes are you buying? Shipping them from the US is soooo expensive (recommended Vitaleph.com) Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have my surgery date on January 12th, 2015. YAY! I have been looking for shakes & vitamins/ supplements. The shipping and exchange rates from the American sites are outrages (158USD in product plus $40 shipping plus the exchange rates. So I am wondering where Canadian Sleevers buy their products?

I am also new to this site and have been researching for awhile for Mexican doctors (I am coming from Canada). I do qualify for surgery in Canada, but my wait is 5-7 years in Calgary, AB I can't decide between Dr. Arial Ortiz at OCC or Dr. Rodolfo Wilhelmy at Mexcicali Bariatric Centre (Almater hospital). They both sound great with lots of experience and reviews from patients Dr. Wilhelmy is about $2000 more expensive than Dr. A. Ortiz. Both have F.A.C.S. with their names. Dr. Wilhelmy performs surgeries in a hospital setting & Dr. A. Ortiz performs his at his clinic 3 nights of hospital stay with Dr. Wilhelmy, 1 night at hotel (do we really need the 3 nights in the hospital?) 1 night of hospital stay with Dr. A. Ortiz, 3 nights at hotel (is 1 night enough?) It is a 90 minute car drive from San Diego to Dr. Wilhelmy's It is a 30 minute car drive from San Diego to Dr. A. Ortiz' Help!!
