I'm having mine in April or May depending on how fast insurance approves me. I will be pushing them.

@@Sharon Vance are you looking for someone that lives in your area or maybe more virtual? I had the bypass in June of 2015 and I'm currently in my maintaining stage. I have a LOT of great information if you're interested. I actually just started a blog for one of my school projects and Im hoping to have great ideas, recipes, and all the fun stuff that happens post surgery. You can certainly follow me if you'd like and I'm more than happy to answer ANY questions you might have!!

Good luck on your surgery!

That's great because I know you'll have a lot of answers to my questions, I would first like to say my nutritionist wants me to use Atkins Advantage shakes 5per day for one of, I've heard that premium shakes taste alot better, and they are 30 gms of protein, they are 160 calories, only ten more calories than Atkins, 1 gm sugar, low-rate, and 24 vitamins and minerals . The Atkins shakes only have 15 gms of protein. Is it OK if I make this switch and can you tell me what I should know for my pre op diet, they say five shakes a day will I even be able to drink all of that?? Seems since I've been trying to eat protein I get nauseous when I eat any thing sugary, is this all normal?

I could sooo use your help with all of this.

@@pvechiola I get super sick when I eat more than 6 grams of sugar with my meal. Its a form of dumping syndrome...shakes, hot flashes, super tired. Stay clear.

As far as shakes are concerned, you should use Premier Protein. You can find them at costco specifically. They are low in calories and sugar (super important) and have 30 grams of protein. Muscle milk is ok, but get the light.

I eat a yogurt every single morning for Breakfast. The Oikos black is good because it is low in sugar and high in protein. Greek yogurt is better than regular. I really like Dannon Light & fit greek yogurt. It has 80 calories and 12 grams of protein. I add mandarin oranges to it for my fruit. I also get the no sugar added and packed in Water.

I hope this helps!!
