The problem with adding unflavored to warm Soup is if the soup is over 130 degrees it makes the protein clump (I read this on unjurys webcite) they have a chicken soup flavor that you just add to warm water but under 130 degrees. I am going to order the starter kit from unjury for 17.95 plus 6 for shipping and try all the flavors out.

Hoping to get aproved nov 18thish so I can have surgery during thanksgiving break if it takes longer than that then I want to wait till jan because my boyfriend and I are taking his kids to wisconcin dells right after x-mas so would not want to be on any mushy or mashed diet and want all my tummy insisions to be totally healed by time I go so I can go in Water and have fun. Right now all I am waiting on is 3 more phone calls with my insurance diatitions next one is on mon.

My dr requires a 10 day pre-op liquid sugar free carnation breakfast 5-6 a day. Then clear. Liquids the day before. Don't have a date yet but hoping for mid nov or begining of jan

I am going through park nicollet methodist in st louis park and love how they set you up for 2 big 4 hour apts to get all basic apts done. First day I meet with a bareatric nuirse, the bareatric dr then went and got my labs done. They then have time for you to go eat since you have been fasting for 12 hours. Last is the computerized physic test. The second apt is with pt about excersize, dr to go over labs, then you meet with a phycologist to go over your test and to talk. Last apt for today was with a diatition to talk about your eati ng habits and what not. And I found out that's all I needed for apts. Now just waiting to finish my insurance phone calls tat they require. Yay

I tryed the punch it was so nasty I couldn't even handle a few oz.s I even tryed adding a little bit to my sugar free cherry kool-aid and yuck. Isopure water not something I like.

That's good to hear ill have to try it out

What is the consistancy of unjury shakes? Are they thick or more thin like liquid?

I am look at eather nov 18 ish or jan 10th depends on my phone calls with my insurance I have health partners and have 5 15 min phone calls every 10 to 15 days had first on the 5th next is tomorrow hoping to be done by the 15th of nov and a quick aproval.

I had my first dr 4 hour apt on the 22 of sept and talked to my nurise for the first hour she also had the lap band and she sugested oct not to drink with meals nov not to drink 30 mins before and after and so as of oct 1st I don't drink with meals but had sliped up 2 times and drank with my meal opps lol tonight was the 2 time didn't even occur to me till 1/2 way through.

I also tryed the redux aka phen-phen in the 90s for 3 months after 2 lost 20lbs and then lost nothing the 3rd month so went off it. Thank God no heart problems for me from it. I decided I wanted this surgery sceduled a seminar went to then went to a pcp since I just got insurance in july and I'm 5'7" and 270lbs. With type 2 diabities and my BMI is 42. I wish you luck and hope you get your surgery soon hugs.

Where do you get PB2 and I like the carnation breakfast sugar free with 1% milk I know its not a super big amount of protien per packet but it tasts like chocolate milk. Not to thick and weird texturey I tryed a sample I got in the mail don't remember the brand and it was like sludgey consistancy yuck. Any one know other brands that come out like the carnation breakfasts do??

When ever I get a charile horse in my leg I find I am low on potasieum sorry on spelling and I eat a banana but since you are on the cbsf diet you can't do that. I don't know if they have a pill version of potasium but couldn't hurt to look. Good luck crossing my fingers ill be doing the same pre-op diet in dec.

its great to know there are others on here going with the same dr as i am. i cant wait till i can have my surgery. you will have to keep me informed about how you are doing after. surgery.

Well my place said I'll have to have an average of 20 times an hour to be sent home with a c pap so I hope I'm under that.

Lol that's funny I was told the room is kinda like a hotel room and ill have a tv and all.

Are you post lapband? Or pre lapband?

ok so at my first big apt i was sent home with a minnie sleep apnea study machine. sent it back in and got the results yesterday. they where pos. now i have to go in for a formal big sleep apnea study. i so did not know or think that i had sleep apnea. and i really dont want to have a c-pap to take home. i dont know if i will actually be able to sleep with one on to be honest. has any one else had this happen to them??:thumbup::thumbup::crying:

Ok had my apt last week and it was long and glad its done next apt is oct 19th and insurance calls start on the 5th every 10 to 14 days for 5 calls so hoping to have surgery in dec

I too have the 10 week thing but going to try and push them to scheduling the calls every 10 days instead of every 14.

My dr said flinstones with iron is the best one to take so going to get them soon and start them that and a 1000 mg of V-D a day also

I just had my 4 hour long apt at park nicollet on wed. Went well long but good because of my insurance requirments ill have to wait till at least dec for surgery. So next apt at park nicollet is on the 19th.

Ok so I had my apt today yay long so very long. Lol I go back for my next set of apts on Oct 19th. and because my insurance requires 5 20 min phone calls with their dietitians every 10-14 days I defiantly will not be able to have my surgery before dec. if I can get them to schedule them every 10 days I’ll be done with them around thanksgiving. Then I have to wait for approval. But I’m on the road now yay me.

Well at least now I will know whatb to expect for my pro op diet lol hugs gracierose
