Just a thought . . . The Silk &Protein is rather high in sugar and carbs and only has 5 grams of Protein. You might have better luck doing a low sugar high Protein shake. I love the Silk F&P but gave it to my high metabolism husband because of the nutritional value.

Are you counting your carbs? You need to make sure not to get more than 20 in per day. It's hard to do for long periods of time. Make sure you drink a lot of Water too.

I see someone else mentioned that silk and Protein is kinda high in sugar and carbs. I give that to my toddlers as a part of their Breakfast because of the carb content. I am post op and try to keep my carbs below 50g and the silk and protein take up about 50% of that 50g. If you want a good breakfast option try the Atkins morning shakes they have 2g carbs and 10g protein. And once you get close to reapplying replace 1 or 2 meals completely with quality Protein Shakes. Good luck to you. Hope to slide over on the losers bench when you get here!

I just was introduced to a Protein Shake called Vi-Shape! It's a weight management shake. Very tasty. Look it up Vi-Shape 90 day challenge.

You guys all give great advice! I did look at the carb content and so now am off that and give to my little guy for breakfast and I did buy some whey vanilla and chocolate Protein shakes..I'm not eating at night, going to look into the chair yoga too! I am drinking lots of Water and will continue to do so..I eat dinner and make it low carb and then nothing after that..mind you, I have slipped..I get so hungry at night. Is it okay to do a Protein Shake at night too? and is soy better than whey? I wasn't sure. I know Whey gets into your system faster than Soy.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
