Anyone get samples to try of different Protein shakes, clear liquid Protein drinks etc? Someone had mentioned to my husband I should go online and have samples sent to me. When I search the different brands I don't see anything for free samples lol anyone have any luck? Did you just buy a few of each to try. I'd hate to buy the big box at costco and the hate it.

My husband is taking a week off but I have 3 small children so he's really staying home to take care of them so I can take care of myself. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm going to check out this New whey Protein. I emailed my NUT today about Isopure & new whey liquid Proteins and she said the don't recommend Isopure bc it's a lot of calories. She didn't say anything about new whey so I guess that's ok. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

SarahSleeve you should have a chat with your husband that you really don't want him telling his mom bc you know it will spread around. Tell him in a non m-argumentative way. Some people don't even realize the way the come off. A girl I know just had the sleeve and her mother told the aunts. The aunt makes a comment "I thought she would have lost more weight by now" she had already lost 35 pounds 4 weeks out. It's like seriously. Who needs that. Now she regrets telling them but you can't take back once you've told. So I'm just like you only telling those who I need to help me with my little ones while I'm recovering. If someone needs to know I'm Recovering I think I'm going to say the hiatal hernia repair. Then once I loose the weight I'll just be saying how I've been busting my hump in the gym, eating smaller portions cutting out carbs and increasing my Protein intake. all of which will be true. Don't stress and don't let anyone else get in your head. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to post the link lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You must read my post on this subject. I don't no how to attach it to you but you can find it if you click on my posts. There are some fantastic comments in there to my post. I am also only telling my husband mom and aunt. My sisters I will tell as well. (I'm sure my mother already did) lol. But these are all close family I see on a daily basis other then that no one will no. I'm still in the air as to what I'm going to tell ppl about the surgery itself. Some suggested saying hiatal hernia repair. But as far as explaining liquid diets and lack of food I'm just being honest im saying I'm on a serious diet. During the liquid phase I'm going to use the Protein shake/ cleanse diet fad. "It's my cleanse day sorry" lol good luck and check out my post! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi!!! So my surgeon actually doesn't require a pre op diet. I just can't eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the operation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Kranky thank you so much. This is so helpful! Now for your flinstone Vitamins do you take the flintstones complete? So I had one nutritionist tell me just one a day. Then the other day at my pre op class the nutritionist said "flintsones are made for kids" lol I felt like an idiot the way she said it. My other nutritionist told me one a day and take it with my kids so we're in the routine together. So then the new NUT said you can take it but I'd have to take 2. So you are taking 2 of them one during the day and one at night. My instructions on the label of the Vitamin says adults and children over 4 take 1 a day. I'm going to have to ask call them and double check as well. That's what I bought so I'm glad I'm not the only one. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
