Hello everyone, I have finished my preop appointments and just got my approval for surgery :-D... Unfortunately I still have to wait because my surgery is not until January 2013. :-(

That feels like so far away, but I am glad I found this site. I am still scared especially for when I have to do the liquid diet before surgery. I know that it's not going to be easy but I hope to find someone néw fiends here and get some helpful advice. Does anyone have any suggestions on good tasting Protein? Or at least one that does not leave such a chalky after taste?

Oh ok. I've never heard of that brand before, but I will definitely look into it. My doctors office sells injury and I was hoping to buy their starter kit and try them out

Hello, my doctors office has Unjury and I'm planning on buying their starter kit. I don't want to go wasting my money on full size containers. I've read some reviews on Unjury and so far it has great reviews.

If you want to make sure, go to their website and you can get a variety sample pack. I copied this from another website but the phone number is listed on there, that way you know what flavors you like before you buy:

Yeah, I like them because I pretend I'm just sipping on lemonade or a juice; it really doesn't taste like Protein. And they have about 23 grams of protein and are low carb/sugar.

I tried buying that Pure Protein that's premade in a little bottle. Got a chocolate flavor and it took me forever to try to drink it. It has 23 grams of protein but I wasn't feeling the flavor. :-) I was buy another flavor and try that next time.

I have not tried that brand but I will tell you I love chocolate but when it comes to Protein Shakes, I can't do chocolate! weird. It may just take you experimenting some. I didn't think I would like the lemonade or ice tea or grapefruit flavor cause they just seemed weird for a protein but guess what? i loved them and actually bought the canisters. Since it is a thin liquid like consistency, it makes them so much easier to drink them and get your protein in. Good luck!

Guelia1279 you can doctor up your shakes with sugar free syrups. I bought the Premeire Protein chocolate also and put one in the freezer it came out like icecream. I also mixed one with Decaf coffee and it wasn't to bad, and you can add Splenda . Check out this site for flavor drops that don't have added sweetener to them http://capellaflavordrops.com/flavordrops.aspx

I sent all of you a friend request. I had to do the 6 month diet monitoring and will be finished with that at the end of January so I should have my sleeve in February. The waiting is driving me nuts.

Hi Marilyn,

I like EAS Lean 15 vanilla Cream. It doesn't give me a chalky taste at all. I mix it with SF almond milk or non-fat milk. I picked it up at Walgreens.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
