The best thing I have found is Premier Protein shakes at Sams Club. 30 Grams of Protein for 11 oz. You can sip on it till you finish it because it has a cap you can put back on and put it back in the fridge or a cooler at work. I am now 4 months out and drinking at least on of them a day is the only way I can get enough protein.

Wow......11 months out and it's likely I've never gotten 120 grams in for more thatn a day or two in a row.
I guess I'd be using shakes if my goal was that high.

Finally I'm home from surgery it was a quick surgery but the pain Omg the pain was something serious I went in on Wednesday morning about 630 am. Was happy go luckily taking pictures and clowning around with my sister went through surgery and came out it was a whole different story we can just say slept through Thursday and friday. Honestly if I had to do it over I wouldn't I'm definitely not into pain. On my way to a healthy me!!!

I am sad that your surgery has been postponed! I can remember how bumps in the road made me cry uncontrollably. I was so ready to begin my new life.
I know that you are already glad that they found this problem because it likely would have caused complications almost right away. They want you to go into surgery with a good solid base because there are a couple of months right afterward that literally sucks all the stacked up nutrients away from you.
The best thing is to get your infusion and follow up with a cardiologist to make sure your heart is healthy enough to go through such a major transition. The surgery is the smallest part, it's life after and learning your way that takes a lot out of us.
I hope everything works out for you and you are back on the schedule quickly. Keep us posted and certainly reach out if you need anything.
Hugs!

I am sorry to hear you are running into problems. One individual in our Bariatric Surgery Group had his surgery scheduled, the date was fixed and only days away. But his pre-op tests uncovered a problem. He was about to have a massive heart attack. The surgeon called him and asked him to come to the hospital immediately. He had open heart surgery shortly after arriving at the hospital. It saved his life. After he recovered from the operation, he was back on track for his bariatric surgery and showed up at the next meeting with a new date.

Mine was put off from November to May because of my kidneys. Don't sweat it.

Patience is a virtue, right? Yeah, right... Wouldn't you like to kick "patience" right in the butt, right?
I'm so sorry you've hit this bump in the road when you're so close to starting your journey --post op.
All of the old clichés don't help much, I know, so I won't repeat any more of them. Just know that there are folks out here who care about you.
And
We're listening---any time.
Keep posting and letting us know when you've conquered these last bothersome "bumps".
Smooth path on the horizon, my friend.

I'm sorry to hear that your surgery was postponed, but it really is for the best. You want to be as healthy as you can be when you go in for surgery. Hopefully everything is cleared soon, and you can get right back on track.

Check with your surgeon or nutritionist. Some programs, like the one I had, do not allow any cream Soups.< /p>

9 carbs and 2g of Protein per serving, probably not, but ask your program, they are all different.

It wasnt on my preop diet because of too many carbs, but its allowed on post op full liquid, according to my plan.

Yea i went and stocked up today.. Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App

Start trying the stuff you can eat on weeks 2-4 NOW. Stock those in the house before you go. You just might not have the energy to get out and you don't want to be tempted.
