I use skim or almond milk with my Protein shake mix. I use both Vanilla and chocolate flavors of the Pure Protein mix. I personally think the chocolate one tastes like cake mix and the vanilla one is quite pleasant tasting. I've also used orange juice with the vanilla powder and it tastes like an orange julius drink.

@@doubledinfla I'm using the Pure Protein powder. I haven't had any issues with it so far.

@@doubledinfla I had surgery on Aug 17th. Everything went really well except my Iron anemia is really bad but other than that I'm a very happy camper!

I'm one week out from surgery tomorrow and I'm still having issues getting all the Protein in. I think I'm doing good with the Water intake but I know I'm not getting in enough protein yet. But I've talked to other sleevers and they have said that they are still not getting enough and these ladies are years out. Anyhoo, I'm down 18 pounds since starting my liquid diet on August 9th so I'm really happy!

I wish I was already on my pre op diet! LOL! I have to do an entire week of liquids and then clear liquids the day before surgery. It still seems so far off but August 9th will be here before I know it.

Its gonna be here before we know it!!!! I can't wait! One more visit with the surgeon and one more class right before surgery and I'm in the operating room! So much to get ready that it hardly seems real!

God willing, getting sleeved on August 17th!

I'm officially scheduled for August 17th. I can't wait! Now, praying that everything goes well and that I'm approved with no problems.

Congrats @@luvthekeysgirl !!!!

Congrats Lorelu! I'm seeing my GP on the 21st to get the pre surgery stuff done then with the surgeon again on the 30th. Then God willing I will be having surgery the same day as you! I'm thinking August 17th is going to be an amazing Monday!!!!!!

I am happy to announce that baring any unforeseen circumstances I shall be having surgery on August 17th!!!!! Happy Dance Time!!!!!!!

Good Luck!!! I'm sure you are going to rock this and before you know it you will be waking up in recovery ready to start your new life!

I can't wait until I can buy non plus sized clothes. I just got back last Sunday from Las Vegas and man oh man did I wish I'd already had my surgery! LOL! All the cute swim suites and tanks I saw.....not to mention all the cute clubbing clothes! I can't wait for that perk of being able to buy cute clothes that don't look like an old lady dress.

I don't know if I count but I'm across the way in Fort Myers. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Bass and I should get my surgery date any day now.

I had my Endo yesterday (Friday) and found a haital hernia which my surgeon said he can fix during surgery. I have my very last class on July 15th..... so since the Endo is done, I'm awaiting approval and a surgery date!!!!!
