I have always been lactose intolerant and I was happy to find that Muscle Milk in a non-dairy protein shake. I drink the strawberry and chocolate. There is also a brand called Premier Protein. It doesn't say dairy free but the ingredients are similar to Muscle Milk and I haven't had any issues with it. I prefer the flavor of Muscle Milk. I have bought everything I want to eat for my pureed stage which starts Thursday! I so looking forward to it.

My surgery was on the 27th. Today is a week post op and I'm so tired of liquids. I had a lot of nausea the first few days. I'm looking forward to the maintenance stage. I have so many low carb bariatric meals that I can't wait to try.

Good luck and prayers for you today! I definitely understand your nerves. I'm scheduled next week. I'm fairly new to the site too, and everything I have read from everyone so far has been supportive. We will be hear for you post-op.

I'm in sort of the same situation. I have friend since high school many years ago that I haven't told for various reasons. I'm debating if I should even tell her at all. She's in a different state so she really doesn't see me, but I don't want to lie when she asks about my weight loss when she does see me. I also work in an environment where we have potlucks and food for any reason. On top of that, I have a co-worker who always pushes food on others. I'm still torn on whether or not I will tell my co-workers that I'm having/had surgery.

So glad you posted this question. I'm on day 8 of my Pre-op diet and I'm having a lot of mucsle cramps too, all over. I thought it was because I wasn't getting enough protein since I have had my protein shakes in the past 2 days. You are getting enough protein so now I wonder what the issue could be. Are you feeling better since Saturday?

My surgery is scheduled for 12/27/17 pending insurance approval.
