Hi folks, looking for other folks scheduled for March...anyone?

How are you preparing for surgery? What protein sources are you planning to use?

I am tentatively scheduled for March 4th. I have been drinking Muscle Milk & whey Protein which I got in Walmart. Just found out from my nutritionist that they really want me to use a protein from a list they gave me. So now I'm on a search for a good tasting one. Any ideas????

My surgery was just confirmed for March 5th. I had my pre-op blood work done today and they gave me a bunch of different samples of protein that they prefer pre-op and right after at the very least. Celebrate and Unjury for sure...not certain what else. I'm going to start trying them tomorrow so I can decide what to buy for my pre-op diet.

I am trying different shakes, have liked Isopure and Unjury so far, some are simply too chalky for me. I wish that there was an unflavored protein available...

Unjury has an unflavored one that can be added to just about anything. At least that's what my coordinator told me when she was going over all of the protein powders/flavors/brands available.

March 5th

Welcome guys! Congrats on your surgeries...I really have liked the Wal-Mart muscle milk...Very good protein...

I'll be scheduling my surgery in a couple weeks, the doctor says sometime in March.

I'm actually testing out Protein drinks. I have a spreadsheet going with all the different drinks, their protein, calories, carbs etc.

So far I really like the Muscle Milk

Tried Pure Protein.... eh... it wasn't great but I could drink it if I absolutely had to.

Tried Premier Protein, it has a little more protein than Muscle Milk and it was pretty good.

I've been hearing lots of great things about Syntrax Nectars, BJBariatrics.com sells sample packs that I'll be ordering.

I've also heard people rave about unjury. They sell a starter kit that comes with a shaker and thermometer, Defintely trying this too.

Thanks for posting these links, jujubslim...I will try some of these:)

Have anyone tried EAS AdvantEdge from Wal-Mart?

Hey there! I will be sleeved in March and currently I'm trying to mentally prepare for my big day. My 6 months flew past soooo quick and I find myself every chance I get on this site and other blogs. In prep for my 2 week liquid diet I am trying various protein shakes and drinks. So far premier protein was good. I didn't find isopure tasty but is definitely a great protein powder for what we need it for. The isopure fruity protein water/drink apple melon so far was tolerable for me. I will Definitely drink it because 1 bottle is only 160 calories and a whopping 40 grams of protein. Planning to order Unjury this week as I've heard phenomenal raving reviews about all their products. Needless to say I'm super excited my surgery is so close and looking forward to my WLS journey.

March 20th here! I'm trying out Unjury and Syntrax Nectar. Want to also try Isopure at some point.

I'm probably in March. Will submit for insurance approval 2/14. I really like the Atkins products, especially the shakes. They don't have as much protein as some but they are easy to drink. Premier is good too and high in protein. Not a fan of powders. The bubbles caused when mixing it gives me gas. I can't imagine that post op??? The Atkins are delish though. So much so that my 15 year old has been going through them quickly. Lol

I hope to be sleeved in March. I am finishing up with everything to submit for approval. I don't know why but I have that little fear of being denied. Protein that I like and use is from Jay Robb. It is powder form and can be found at GNC. It is great for diabetics and those who are lactose intolerant. This is a brand that was recommended by my nutritionist.

Mine is scheduled March 13....I am excited for all the March sleevers.. We don't have long to go

Just received my surgery date 3/3! I like Muscle Milk. I'm also going to try Body Fortress next. I heard that one is good as well.
