@@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.

@@Dulce_jtrivera what do you mix the prozein synthesis with, plain Water?

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!!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
