Thanks 1Linda! Great I know I can do that. I survived on Herbalife for weeks. Now from what everyone says I need to find a portein drink I can stand. I am sure the nurtionist will tell me all that stuff, but is there a certain requirement for the portein drink? there are so many out there.

Hi! I'm looking at my paperwork from the nutritionist at Baylor Plano. They will give you a list of suggested Protein Drinks. I prefer the Premier Protein Drink from costco (recommended by someone at the support group). It's not on the list but more than meets the requirements. It's 11 ounces and virtually no carbs. It packs 30 grams of Protein. I also like the Amplify from GNC (20 grams of protein per scoop, mixed with only 4 ounces liquid) and Jay Robb. The Nectars are good to mix with Water for fruitier drinks. The "requirements" noted on the paperwork indicate less than 5 grams of sugar per serving and at least 15 grams of protein. They also say to avoid Protein Bars.< /p>

shylady,

I have a high opinion of Dr. Hamn based upon his surgery competency. However, I have not found him to be the most talkative or his network to provide the most support. What I have read from others about Dr. Nick seems to provide superior capabilities in this regard. So, I would recomend Dr. Hamn for sure based on what he has done for me. However, it sounds like all things considered in your case you have made the right choice.

Best of luck to you.

Longhorn, how did yours go? Didn't you just have it the other day?

Twobluecats, Great thanks for the information. That is what i was trying to figure out :

The "requirements" noted on the paperwork indicate less than 5 grams of sugar per serving and at least 15 grams of Protein.

I remember someone at the support group i went to mentioned the Premier Protein Drink from costco also. Isn't this a ready to drink one? I think i would probably do better with ready made, especially at work.

What is the limit of the carbs a day?

All of this is so helpful, thanks everyone.

Does anyone go to the support group at Plano baylor? I have been the last 2 months.

shylady,

Yes, Tuesday was my day. It has gone well although the first night was rough. But all is well and I'm starting to recover and learning to eat (drink) again. Thanks for asking.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Clayton Frenzel in Dallas. He is a certified bariatric surgeon AND a Plastic Surgeon. He goes above and beyond for his patients. He did my sleeve on January 26, 2011. He is an incredible surgeon that is there for his patients all the way... If plastic surgery is needed after I lose all my weight, how great is it that HE can do that. He is already familiar with me and my medical history!
