Totally new to the forum. Just scheduled my surgery for October 21st! Having it done here in Houston, TX with Dr. Hollis of True Results.

Have to start my pre-op diet today! LOL So, when mixing the Protein shakes, does everyone use Water... milk is a no-no for my Dr. And the Protein Shakes made with water are pretty nasty! Any suggestions?

That's a new one on me. I have made them with juice before and they are not bad, so I guess you could use crystal light also. What is his reasoning against milk is it just the calories? You might check about using light soy or light almond milk, they run about 70 calories per glass and I actually like almond milk better than low fat milk, it is pretty much all that we drink around the house.

I was also banded by Dr. Hollis and I used almond milk for my protein shakes during my pre op. The only time I used water with the protein shakes was the first few days after my surgery. Call three office and double check, that water mixture is nasty! Good luck

I had my surgery on 09/29/2011 with Dr.Christopher Reilly at True Results---I purchased a protein shake from GNC called Amplify--and it is great with water--go to the store ,Ithink they have samples to try.

Not sure why he doesn't like anyone using milk in their diets. Have you had any complications since surgery?
