Any december surgies out there???

Cheapest protein I've found is body fortress whey powder at Wal-Mart. I mix it up with water in half liter bottles.

Help please!!!! Places to buy cheap good protein. Gotta do pre op diet soon!!

Target brand whey protein powder taste really good and it's pretty cheap. Its $18 for the large container. I mix with almond milk but its not bad with water either.

As far as the last supper idea, our NUT said clear liquids only the day before. And if there is any solid food in the bowel at all it can be dangerous & surgery will be called off. Soooo, I'd suggest doing the last supper two days before or even the night before you start your preop diet.

I think will go out for dinner with my husband the night before my 2 week diet. Nothing crazy but something gourmet

Today is my first day on diet. I bought ready made shakes optifast brand. ... ive had the powders in the past but I need to ready made cause of my schedule. I just cut up half sandwich bags of carrots' date=' bell pepper, and tomato for work if I get a craving for something crunchy. And also one boiled egg and two shakes. Work should be fine but when I get off at 12 will be when the battle starts lol ill prob just have a shake after work and an egg and take something to knock my ass out lol[/quote']

Yes, I did 1 month prior to lap band. I'm not doing it this time, I was struggling last night for real. lol I need to lose 10 lbs by Dec 2nd. So, hopefully I can do the liquid 2 1/2 weeks before surgery date and still lose the 10 lbs for insurance approval. I may just be getting the band removed on the 10th if my insurance gives me probs.

Thats what I drink. I love it! Low sugar and calories, high protein (30g). Sams club has the case of 12 for $18.88 CHEAP!

I'm going to look into these! My friend at work that sits behind me had gastric and found a good one at GNC that is almost 30 dollars for a case of 12. She is going to bring me one to try.

I just bought the Optifast on amazon for 100 dollars for 27 of them! I know by experience they work and they taste really good.... but if there is a cheaper option i'm going with that!

Thanks y'all
