I was told to look for that, and that the Body Fortress brand was a good choice. But as I see in this forum, everyone's nut tells them something different!

There are several websites that you can use to order samples. That way you can decide which you like. I have read that your taste will change, that's why I like the samples. I ordered from MyBariatricPantry.com, unjury.com, and Nashuanutrition.com. They all have samples packs. I also picked up Body Fortress whey powder from WalMart. Hope these suggestions help some! Good luck!

This is my "homework" from my nut. I am to practice how it will be to eat post op. I have a real hard time with this as well as drinking without a straw! I use my big cup with a straw all day long, at home and at work. These are going to be the hardest hurdles for me I think!

Same day! Welcome!

It is in the pre op section fyi

We have a thread started. It is called April dates. Join us!

Congrats! You can be the one to report back to us all!

I tried the synthrax matrix mint chocolate shake this morning and it was sooo good. Hope i like it post op because I am gonna order a bunch of it! Yum

One more weigh in and pre-op class and I am ready to go.

Hey Kat23: we are surgery sisters! Got my date today~April 22nd. So excited that it finally is coming and seems so real!

Heading to weigh in number 5! Hoping to get my surgery date today. Also hoping I make it there. The roads are bad due to snow storm and it is hour and half away! Excited!!!!!!

Went to my mandatory support group tonight and it was very interesting. Heard some great success stories, as well as some stories of people who are 3 years out and are still struggling. Goes to show that this will be a LIFE LONG journey, not one that is "fixed" by having RNY. Was a very positive evening and am now more excited than ever!

Congrats! One more step towards changing your life!

I have everything done except for the two last weigh ins. I wish they could skip those and just submit, but guess ill have to wait. I am going to a mandatory support group tonight with my husband and then weigh in on wed. Hope to get a date then. Good luck at your appointment! Mine was very nice. The guy just talked to me and asked some questions. It was more like friends talking than an eval!

I did the same as wendilou. I ordered several sampler packs from Bariatric Advantage. That way, I will have several to try post op. I have also started stocking up on some broths, soups and other stuff that I have read about and seen on some you tube videos I have watched. I am hoping to find out a surgery date on Wednesday at my weigh in appointment. Then only one more weigh in to go in march! I wish it would hurry up and get here already!!

Awesome job and congrats! You should be so proud of all of your hard work! I am so hoping that my journey resembles yours! You are living proof that it can be done!

My order is being delivered today. I'll post after I try it, but I hear it is very good.

I will be in April, just don't have a date yet. I will get that on March 27th at my last pre op weight in. I am soooo excited. I have started buying some of the essentials that I have heard people talk about. I also ordered several sample packs of protein drinks. Bariatric pantry has 10% off sample packs and free shipping over $99, so I got one of each today and saved some money. I won't stock up more due to people saying that taste buds change, but at least I will be able to figure out what I like. Have another follow up on Feb 27th, so I will find out about my pre-op diet and such. I have a list of questions for the Dr. My name is Dorian and I am from Beaver Dam WI, having surgery at Columbia St Mary's in Milwaukee with Dr Joseph Regan. I look forward to sharing this wonderful journey with you! Add me to the list please!
