I'm scheduled for Nov. 21st. I'm not going to lie. I'm a lot anxious about post-opt.

I've read too many posts about complications and difficulties. Honestly, it sounds horrifying.

I live in Austin, Texas. Are there any support groups here?

Thanks.

My procedure is next Friday 11/18 . I started the pre op liquid diet today and I'm 45/60 min from Austin area !

Hello, my surgery is set for 11/16/16. is anyone else having a hard time with the Protein Powder and has anyone tried the Isopure pre surgery?

For Pre-op I've been using nectar Protein powder from Vitamin Shoppe. You mix it with Water but it comes in wonderful fruit flavors it's the best I've tried.

Hello,

Yes, I am having my sleeve surgery on Monday (Nov 14th).

I have been sticking to the pre-op diet, taking my Vitamins, drinking my Protein shakes daily. I didn't find that the diet was difficult at all.

Shakes: Premier Protein shake which has about 22g of protein per 8oz. serving. Have them in vanilla and chocolate. Not bad at all, but before I run out, I might order a different brand.

Also ordered some unjury protein powder and tried it in place of one of the shakes. Mixed it in 8 oz. of chicken broth. It was real good.

Just found this place and I think it is so cool.... and had fun going through the store.... can't wait to try a few items I saw there.

2 more days! Woohoo!

Not feeling nervous at all... just excited. I am so ready for this!

I wish all of you November sleeve patients the best! Stay positive.

I'm scheduled for November 22nd!

I am having so much trouble choking down Protein drinks. It smells like the tube feeding I put in my patients and the taste makes me want to vomit. I tried the double shot espresso from CLICK last night and it's the first shake that didn't make me sick. It comes in lots of flavors but make sure you can have caffeine. My boss is having surgery with a different surgeon and she's not allowed caffeine. I have variety packs from 3 different companies to try, and I'll keep you posted if I find anything that I can tolerate.

FYI: I'm have surgery in 3 weeks with Dr Ortiz in Mexico at OCC

I don't like the Bariatric Advantage vanilla Protein powder. The best tasting ones to me are the GNC Lean 25 shakes that are bottled.

Nov. 21 st and I'm so anxiety- ridden I could wet my pants. Lol. I've talked to so many people who've had the surgery and are grateful they did, but I'm having a hard time believing them! It's probably because of the two week pre op diet. I'm so hungry and I'm sick of Protein shakes and crystal light.
