My band date is 4/27 and I started my pre-op diet on the 13th, It has only been a few years that I can tolerate liquid meds b/c I gag sooooo easily. So I was scared to try the protein until my coworker made me one yesterday..she gets banded in June.

1 to 2 scoops of whey protein(she used vanilla and scoops depends on amt. of carbs)

1/2 c. light soy milk vanilla flavored/lactose free

3 small/med. strawberries

20 oz cup of ice

2 packets splender

a little vanilla flavor if you want

She blended the milk,splender and strawberries first,then added powder with gradually adding ice.

IT WAS GOOD..LOL I HAD TO EAT IT WIH A SPOON AND I STAYED FULL FOR A WHILE.

Hope it helps someone.

thanks.... going to try........on my 2nd day of pre op and very hungry:sad:!
