@@Dulce_jtrivera that uploaded list sounds great. The nut I saw only gave regular suggestions of boost and premier Protein. Not a big variety at all.

@@tfowler a week seems so far but is so close. I think k I get more and more anxious every day. It's hard to concentrate on normal day to day tasks. Then I find myself wanting to eat food but knowing I shouldn't. :(

I found some interesting flavors at smoothie King of all places. Has anyone tried those?

Thanks, @Dulce_jtrivera. I'll check those out, too. Seems like a much better source of Protein than the powder I have, which only has 16 grams per serving. Awesome!

I completely understand, @Boise.

I never heard of them either. Are their flavors tasty? How many grams of Protein do they have in them?

I mix it with Water, but a girl that's in my support group uses almond milk or skim milk. That adds more Protein to it.

And I have never heard of the Smoothie King either... but I will try anything that will help me through the liquid phases!

The brand is spiro-tein, and comes in a ton of flavors. 14g of Protein, slightly on the low side so I mix them with skim milk and that adds 8g. They are very tasty and under 100cal. I won't be using these unless I am in need of a flavor change. I like Unjury chicken flavor too.

I'm scheduled for the 22nd too! (In PA) Only 1 week to go! Just bought my B-12 and some SF Popsicles today.

Btw...Unjury chicken Soup is great & has 21g's of protein! Has no funky taste or smell like most of the Protein products out there. I had a sample, but I just ordered some for the post op liquid phase. I'm so afraid of losing my hair & I think it might help to get some good protein in during the first couple weeks.

Best wishes to us all!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
