Chocolate splendor is my favorite. They have a sample box u can order for cheap to try them all. But follow the instructions the.strawberry with lemonade wasn't bad but I tasted to much protein. The unflavored I flavor with sugar free hello packets to get a taste I want.

Tks

I also had my surgery on the 26th. The gas pains are not great but if you've ever had a C-section, they're tolerable. My husband bought me the wrong Gas X and Colace, wasted $40 so I've been improvising. I chew sugarless gum because the Sorbitol in it gives me gas and that helps relieve the gas pains.

My doctor said to crush up the pain pills (Percocet) and drink them with juice. I am using cranberry juice and this works. HOWEVER, do not let your spouse crush up a Colace capsule or tablet because the web site says don't do it. I was on Percocet and actually drank one before I had the sense to check online.

I also had a hiatal hernia repair thrown in with my lapband so I am not walking as much.

The liquid diet is not bad. I have been using Muscle Milk Light since my pre-op diet. My nutritionist said that for the 2 week liquid diet I should put it in a glass because you can't use the straw, add some skim milk and drink. I am lactose intolerant so I am using fat free half and half and am adding some vanilla extract. The cafe au lait flavor is good, as is vanilla creme. Even the chocolate is tolerable and I am not a chocolate lover by any means. costco has a case for about $1/carton but the newest circular has a case for $6 less. Frankly, $1 or so for a lunch serving is a lot less than I was spending for lunch at work before the surgery.

Good luck to everyone.
