Looking to connect with anyone who is having their surgery preferably in June. A surgery buddy would be helpful I think!

I start the pre-op liquid diet in a few weeks, i'm not looking forward to that. I'm concerned about how I'm going to stick to it! What are everyone's major concerns about the surgery? For me it's the nausea and being able to intake enough fluids - I'm hoping for the best but going into it knowing it could be pretty difficult those first few months.

I have some of the same fears. liquid diet, learning to take in the protein and water amounts i need. i'm hoping the post op nausea and gas will be live able. hair loss since i've always been overweight it's been my one pride and joy not sure how i'll react to the loss in the end.

I'm super excited but nervous starting pre op diet a tad early any suggestions on what's a good Protein Shake and flavor to try surgery date jun 5

I have been worried about the protein shakes. I have a very keen palette. which is great as a fatty now i need to find shakes i can live on. I have done more research on shakes than the actual surgery. I like Click coffee best. Shakeology chocolate with PB2 is good. I'm trying to make my own with unflavored protein meal replacement. This way i can sweeten it myself and create my own flavors. i'm using loriann baking emulsions rather than extracts. Creamy coconut shake anyone? I'll let you know when i get the supplies in. I'm also making my own broths to add unflavored protein meal replacement too. I really crave savory and salt more than sweet shakes. Premixed Premier chocolate is pretty easy to drink.

I have ordered samples packets from different companies to see what i like best. check back with me in a few weeks. I'm bringing my creative culinary skills to the table.

My surgery date is June 2

Hello have you tried Premier Protein Shakes they are soo good no chalky taste. The best are Caramel Vanilla and banana. They also have chocolate not too much of a fan for but its ok amd strawberry i havent taste yet.

I've tried almost all the flavors of the Premier Protein shakes and chocolate so far is my favorite. Everything else is too sweet. I like the Atkins shakes too, but they just can't compare protein wise to the Premiers.

You'll be surprised how overly sweet things post surgery can taste disgusting.

Yes alot of people say that too I hope my tastes buds dont change. I haven't taste the Atkins yet i was gonma try cookies and cream. How does it taste??
