I started about a month ago and just had my second appt with the surgeon. I am learning so much about things I never knew about diabetes and managing my sugar. I have lost 4 lbs with adding Protein to my diet. This month I will work on flipping my eating schedule so I eat my largest meal (not that large😏) at Breakfast and not dinner and drinking more Water. Any good tips on high Protein Breakfast options in addition to the shake that I can take on the run?

Wow! That’s awesome! My NP just told me to start replacing one meal a day with a Protein Shake. Hmm I’m not for sure yet but I can start looking stuff up 😁

I have my endoscopy in about 20 minutes. My surgeon schedules this early on in the process but I’ve heard of some people getting theirs days before their surgery. What does your surgeon recommend?

My egd won’t be schedule until after my cardio clearance and that appt is in June so probably won’t be until August when I have that done

Thanks!!! I have been trying different brands and flavors in the premade containers to figure out what I like before investing in the powder. They are kind of expensive and I am told to try Sams Club to buy a case. So far I like the Muscle Milk in chocolate and my favorite is Premier Carmel. I did not care for banana Bariateic Advantage. Many offices will give samples. Good luck!
