The best of luck to you! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Hello to all, I am scheduled to have surgery June 25, 2013. I am not to concerned although I must have to admit the thought of liquid diets and the small amount of food in take is beyond my comprehension. I have never had any type of surgery before but feel at peace with this. Congratulations to all of you that are going through this journey and it is truly amazing to read some of your stories. I began loosing weight April of 2012 and at that time weighed 426 lbs. I have lost just over 100 lbs and have been at the same weight for the past five months so on to the next step. I feel I have a wonderful Surgeon named Dr Daniel Gagne of the West Penn Medical Group in Pittsburgh. I wish all of you the best and hope to continue on the journey with you.

I am amazed at the different diets limitations different people have. I am pretty much on liquids but eat Jello, condensed Soup, milk, Protein shakes etc. I have not had any issues so far. Hope things are going as well for you. Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

My surgery was on the 25th and quite surprised I have not had many issues or been in much pain. Have had no nausea or any of the other issues I have read about on this site. Already walking over a mile a day and have not been hungry the whole time which is a huge change for me. I attribute this to the doctors and pre-op care and program I had before the surgery. Really amazing and so surprised everything has gone so well. Thoughts and prayers going out to all of you going through the same things. Just 4 days out and amazed. Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

You can try mixing the protein mix with 1% or skim milk. The milk has protein also. You can get different types of extracts to add to vanilla and give you different flavored. Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk
