Congrats! I had to take a class with a nutrionist. It was very good, she told me what I will eat on my pre op diet, after the surgery through like 6 weeks. There was information about the surgery before and after, medication before and after. I was approved on July 7th and just finished all of my pre op test and now I am waiting for a date. The main thing in Protein I've started testing a few she had on her list so I'll be ready for my pre op diet. It's taken awhile for my taste buds to adjust so I am glad I've had this time to adjust

I am glad I am not the only one trying out Protein Shakes ahead of time. Every time someone posts a new one I get dressed and go shopping!! So far Gen Soy (unflavored Soy Protein with Hershey's Syrup added to skim milk) is horrible and I am not thrilled with any of the Unjury packs I have tried. The EAS Advantage (best price Walmart) isn't too bad. I am going to try the Isopure soon, can't find the Cytosport anywhere in this town. Also can't find the Slim Fast Carb control.

I think Target has Cystort Protein I have not tried it yet, Have tried the Protein Shots, I mis it with crystl lite. I have used the SlimFast Optima powder. chocolate I add milk a couple icecubes and splenda packets and blend kinda makes a thick frosty shake.The vanilla pwder I put in frozen strwberrys and mix with the milk, not to bad.

Way to go! Keep us posted on what they taste like. I haven't started trying any just in case I am not approved by insurance.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
