If you don’t want to mess with the machine, my doctor recommended barilife complete Multivitamin in powder form. I got watermelon and mix in a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder. 8-10oz Water and a few ice cubes. Good stuff

Stilled somewhat stalled by my surgery wasn’t until 3/29. Can’t wait to get past this!

The bags of GENEPRO in the stores now have a sticker over them that say 30g per SCOOP not Tbsp.

Alaska1980 I did the 90 day program for Aetna. No issues getting approved

I got watermelon flavor from Celebrate (Bariatric online health store). No sugar
Lots of people like caramel or chocolate flavors too

Stalled all week but down 21 lbs since pre-op appt and my work pants are loose. I’ll take it!

I started soft foods today! Stayed away from meat in puree stage cause that just sounded disgusting. But I had a little canned chicken mixed with guacamole for lunch and a small piece of mahi mahi for dinner! I've never been so satisfied in my life!

I would tell your surgeon immediately that they are using a person who tries to talk people out of it. They will give you a different reference. Mine was ZERO like yours. She checked for signs of depression, checked that I had reasonable goals, asked about my support system and that’s it.

Yes they do. The 5th ingredient is sucralose

I officially weigh less than my tall (6'2") husband.

All done. Going home from hospital tomorrow. Not too many gas pains but did get sick today. About 1/2 hr after swallow test. Doc said I just had too much in there. Been walking a lot today. Ready to go home and start my new life.

Day 1 of pre-op liquids!
Here I go. I can do this!

Holy crap, I have lost 9# since surgery!! Woot! I I humbly apologize for trashing Premier Protein -- I love it now. :-)

Definitely possible! I started at 271 and am now right around 140 (go up and down from 135-143)
