I have the same diet & I start in a couple days what kind of Protein shake did you get?

I have naked Protein I got on Amazon and make my own. I have some fit4life I picked up ages ago that's food. It's strawberry kiwi. I also have some veggie Soup from BA. I will want more rjongs savory than a month of sweet. That's why I like the naked protein. I even put it in my coffee. The trick it to let it sit for a while and let the protein take on the coffee flavor. I sometimes nuke it to warm it back up. That's the key with unflavored protein. BA also sells a protein elixir ....I have white grape and you can add it to anything. It's a great way to ads 10 grams to your Water. Hope that's not info overload lol also great thing for right after surgery is the BA with all the Vitamins and Calcium in it! It's pricey, but a great way to get protein AND Vitamins that first two weeks.

I haven't tried them yet but stopped at GNC on my way home from work today. I bought 4 of the Isopure Protein drinks. They are buy 3 get 1 free so it was a better deal. Total was 16. They are 24 oz so two servings a bottle' date=' 40 grams of protien total, 0 carbs. From what I read/videos, people either love or hate them. The main reason I decided on these was the are like Gatorade instead of a shake which I don't like. Will let you know how they taste :)[/quote']

I got a few...they are just OK! I have them in the fridge for after surgery

My sleeve is scheduled for February 25th. I'm a little worried about recovering on my own with no help, as my husband will be in Europe, but still very excited about having it done.

I will have my surgery on Feb. 20th. Will be on a 2 week pre-op diet. Think Slimfast or Medifast. combination of 5 Protein Bars and shakes and one meal in the evening 5 oz of lean meat and veggies.

As for as not worried, everyone is different and you will handle it the way that works for you. Best of luck and much success!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
