What are good protein shakes?
Sailor59 replied to jeeptrk03's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor has me on Chike brand shakes they taste GREAT 28 grams of protein per serving more with milk. You can get them online at www.chikenutrition.com -
Cheated(Kinda)

My doctor has me on a 5 day liquid only diet and I am being banded the same day as you two July 26, 2011. I have been pretty good but I am drinking chicken boullion cubes instead of low sodium broth. My only "cheat" is this cheese dip I LOVE I have had a couple of small spoonfuls of that but it isn't any thicker than the pudding he says I can have so I hope I am okay! -
Just a little curious...

My doctor does band with or without plication. At first I said no to plication until he explained that there is no extra down time. No extra cost and I could still do it on an outpatient basis. So I have decided to go ahead with the plication. He also said that immediate weight loss with plicatation banded patients has bee comparable to that of bypsass patients. -
I am 3 days pre surgery (banded plication) and I confirmed last night that if all you put in is liquid all you will get out is liquid HA! My surgeon sells and reccomends Chike brand protein shakes. Being a former weight lifter I can tell you that the Chike is a really good tasting protein shake. It has 28 grams of protein when mixed with water not sure on the carbs.

My doctor explained that the Plication will provide immediate weight loss that the band often times does not provide. Having the plication should reduce the number of needed fills. In addition, he said that having the plication done should actually greatly reduce the risk of band slippage. I believe that they are actually seeing immediate weight loss with this surgery comparable to Gastric Bypass.

Nice! are you getting plication as well or just band?
