I'm on a 3 week pre-op diet and have to drink TWO Bariatric Advantage drinks a day. I add a bit more than 8 oz of Water (very cold) and use a little Hamilton Beach blender to blend it really well. Then I chug it down fast! lol Seems to work okay.

My surgery date is 9/30. I went to my first support group meeting last night and it was awesome!! I can hardly wait!!!

Hola Chula, I'm pretty new as well. I looked at your profile and we match pretty close. My surgery date is on 9/30 and I have to do THREE weeks of pre-op diet. The Protein drinks are hit and miss. Your doctor's office should provide you with the info for your pre-op diet. My doctor's office gave me a three week supply of Bariatric Advantage. It's okay, not too bad. One suggestion I have for you is to definately get a blender and mix any drink up very good and drink it cold! It tastes much better that way! Good luck to you!

Hi, I hope this isn't a dumb question. What is the purpose of the requied 3 or 6 month waiting period (insurance required)? I don't have my initial consult until 4/5. Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to this site. I have not yet had surgery but I am looking forward to initial surgeon consult on 4/5! YAY!! Is anyone else from NM? I'd like to know where you were banded and how you are coming along!!! thanks!
