3weeks?! Oh man. I do the syntrax shakes an I do like them but its not even close to the same as a hot meal.

Cool...Dr. Gersin is performing mine. I'm the same way. I just got my date today and it was extremely difficult for me to focus at work today. Tell me again' date=' which day is your surgery scheduled for?[/quote']

I only wish' date=' no my surgery will be performed by a team of doctors with Monmouth Bariatrics at Meridian's Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel New Jersey - aka the Garden State or Soprano Land.

Having lived in So.CA, and frequented Pasadena, I envy your choice of hospitals. Perhaps we can compare notes on the outcomes of our respective "Bayshore" experiences. Have a great day and best wishes with your upcoming surgery.[/quote']

Haha-- I meant Pasadena Tx. Should have been more specific. How about we both ditch our surgeries where we are and meet up in CA for our procedures?!

No - have you? I am going to try to get to the August meeting..

I'm having surgery Sept 12th to!

3weeks?! Oh man. I do the syntrax shakes an I do like them but its not even close to the same as a hot meal.

I found something that helps...I make an 8oz cup of low sodium chicken broth or veggie broth and i add a scoop of beneprotein unflavoured whey protein isolate...gives me 6 grams protein in 120mls of liquid.. It mixes up soooo nice that my broth still looks like broth and i cant even taste the whey at all... If your using syntrax...try there medical unflavoured whey protein in some broth for a snack between shakes...add some herbs or spices...man oh man...gives me somthing dinner like and tastes salty versus sweet all the time.

If you look on amazon there is a bariatric protein shake book that gives you great ideas to change them up
