I am set to have my surgery October 7 . I have so excited to began this new journey of my life. I have always been a big girl but after the surgery I can Finley unzip my fat sute once and for all lol. I have been reading posts that are very incourgeing and hopeful that I have made the right choice for me. I would like a surgery buddy lol....

Chelle. We are in the exact same boat!! I just had pad Thai figurng I have 13 days till my liquid diet lol. It's going to be great in the end for both of us. We have to keep strong! Have you found a protien shake you like yet? I have to start looking.

I have only tried the Pure Protein stuff in vanilla. Its pretty thick, like a shake- and way better when its really cold. I was actually blending fruit in with it- and that was pretty great. I am on a quest to find a protein drink that is more of a liquid texture, as opposed to a think shake type texture.

U guys r crackin me up!! Lol I also quit soda back in May. It's actually not bad!! Broke down once or twice since then. Pretty proud if myself. But I too am eating as much as I can lol. Making dates with friends for one last hoorah lol. I think the one thing I will really really miss is alcohol!!!!!!!!

I have a couple Twisted Teas in my fridge but I feel guilty when I drink one cause it's 220 calories lol.

Isopure is more like Gatorade than a creamy shake.

My husband has several bags of this and I've asked my NUT about using them. She didn't recommend it because it only had 12 grams of Protein. She said I would have to drink more to get in my daily protein. She also said the after taste is worse in powders with higher protein. I also have to make sure it's 100% whey.

Have you asked your NUT for their opinion ?

My surgery is going to be in Mexico so I don't have a lot of info yet. I want to try to figure it all out and have my pantry stocked before I go so I won't have to go out when I get home. I'm not sure what the guidelines are as far as adequate amounts of what post op so that's why I ask. Maybe I could mix 2 scoops instead of 1 to double the protein. I'm still 3 weeks away so I have time to research it more but I just was thinking about all the protein drinks I've ever had ans visalus is by far the best tasting imo. Thanks for the tip. I def dont want to be deficient on anything.

My bariatric pantry sells sample packs of syntax protein powder and single bottles of Isopure. It was fairly quick shipping, too.

Bariatric Advantage has a huge selection. Super fast shipping. I also got cytosport. 20 g of protein more like gatorade. My nut. Also has a recipe for double strength milk...1c skim milk with 5T of nonfat dry milk. You could add it to any shake mix and get extra protein.

40 c-d depending on maker. I would like to keep c cup but be 32-34. I can see my feet but if the boobs deflate I don't want them sagging and hiding my new belly button (I've declared it missing years ago). I am nervous, but not a lot. I'm a recovery room nurse so I have a good grasp of what is expected. Anxious, but can't wait for next week!
