Hi everyone. My surgery date is March 19th and I'm looking around for stuff to buy for the liquid stage. The nutritionist suggested www.bariatriceating.com and I have found a couple interesting products there. Their ready to drink Proteins seem awesome...3 ounces is 42 grams of Protein. Has anyone tried this product before? how about Any whey, which they say to add to broth or eggs, etc to get an extra 17 grams of protein.

I've been reading these message boards since I first attended the informational seminar in August. I can't believe I'm a month from my surgery. I was curious also, as to whether or not any of you drove yourself to and from the hospital on your surgery date. Will they let you leave if you are driving? or should I make it a point to find someone to take me or do the taxi thing.

Thanks to everyone. You are all invaluable to me and I look forward to hearing from any other lucky people who will have a new March 19th birthday!!

They absolutely will not allow you to drive yourself. Find a friend to take you.
