If you haven;t been sleeved, yet, don't stock up on anything until after surgery. Your tastes WILL change!

I ordered two things of the chicken Unjury and one of the mixed samples.... I hope I like the chicken one but I am going to need something right after surgery, I also bought some of the cytomax clear drinks like 4ALongerLife mentioned (not a case though). so the only large thing I bought was the chicken broth, but I really like broth and I keep hearing great things about it, the best part is that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back. I am waiting to try all of them after surgery because yeah I heard a lot of people say taste changes).

I ordered the same sample pack :). I hope I like the broth too as I haven't seen many websites with as great reviews. I plan to buy about three more sample packs and then see how they are pre-op. I start my Opti-Fast diet in 4 days...pray for me! I hope I can make it through this!! ;)

EAS carb control chocolate, tastes like a YoHoo (to me), slightly less in protien than some others but still has 17g per carton. they also sell a 24 gram version but they are harder to find.

I'm a very glum as there is a VERY limited variety of Protein shakes/soups etc here- and the country shipping rules state that I cannot order and import foodstuffs online either. :-(

I'd love to try the Unjury chicken soup.... something salty appeals more than sweet, but no luck.

I can get something called organiquelle,some Isopure stuff including the clear ones in glass bottles, some EAS lite ready-mixed shakes, some Atkins ready-mixed shakes and Nitrotech powders.< /p>

I just HOPE there will be something I actually LIKE out of these....

Personally, I have found the EAS and Atkins the best. I did sample some of the Unjury stuff at my preop class, it was ok. I do have some of the purple Isopure in the fridge, but I'm scared to drink it. The little bits in the bottle kinda irk me...I have it in my mind that's it's going to be like drinking tapioca. I am now day 7 in my 14 day pre op diet. I have found that high Protein Soups that are drained, with just drinking the broth, is like a treat to me! Good luck!!!!!

Tried some Chike Protein shakes the past couple of days & really like them. I had banana Magic (oh yummy, even my girls tried a sip & loved it), chocolate Bliss (pretty good too) and strawberry Burst (again, I loved it & so did my girls!).

If you go to this link, you can order 5 samples for only $6.95 shipping! They are great!

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
