Dreamingthin

That would be a good idea to continue the protein shakes it helps to make sure that we are getting our protein if nothing else. I had my first doctors appoinment this afternoon and he gave me a fill already I was not expecting that but it was not bad at all didnt hurt but felt a bit gross when he removed the needle kinda like a suction but it didnt hurt and i have lost a total of 15lbs in just under a month so i was really exceited about that.

just think of it this way the doctor would not suggest something he doesnt think you cant handel and know that your best intrest is in the forfront of all decisions in your case and with bypass you have a backup be good system that those that are banded dont have and you will lose the weight way faster than those that are banded. just my opinion and what i feel are some positives hope they help you

I think if you were not scared then that would worry me i think everyone is scared at the beginning but just remember girl knowledge is power and there is plenty of ppl here that are willing to help you. Good luck and keep us posted.

I checked into the bullet my nutrionist told me about it but it seemed a bit pricey for just a few weeks of use so i got a bottle that has like a whisk ball inside to mix up the drinks and it works great and it was just a couple of bucks. EAS is one of the best products out there i use that in the power because i like to mix the shakes and and extracs to them like mint when i mix the chocolate or banana when i mix the vanilla it changes it up alittle.

oh you guys are luck to get to go to full liquids three days after surgery i dont get to do full liq until the second week after surgery. i wish i could go to full because now i am starting to get this hunger sensation frequently that makes me very sad:sad:

Hi Kim, I got alot of my stuff from GNC they have the protien drink in all different flavors so there are tons of things you can mix it with to help you get it down they also have these great mixer with metal balls inside that really help mix up the protein powder if you mix with powder. I hope this helps.

oh wow cant believe i have responses how exciting now i feel like i have people lol i am on a clear liquid diet until next wednesday then i go to full liquids i mix isopure zero carb clear drink with crystal light or diet v8 splash that helps me get protien there are 40g of protein in one jar, it is a little hard to get all if it down and that is why i mix it with something i also have 1 oz of broth three times a day and sometimes i will eat sf pops but most of the time i feel so full im ready to pop just from the liquids. dont know if that is normal but i see the doc in like four days so we will see. thank all of you for replying and hope to get to add you to my friends list.:biggrin:
