I haven't had the complaints about the body odor but have noticed my pee smells a lot like the protein drinks.

Me neither, I'm trying to stay true to this liquid diet. My daughter baked cookies yesterday to bring to her brother at college and left one on the cooling rack. It's still there, I think she was testing me.lol -
Tofu, I've tasted a lot of good variations of it. Has to be cooked right. I haven't figured it out yet, but I have no problem with meat. My daughter is a vegatarian and we always worried about her diet early on, her biggest issue was iron, but she does eat eggs. Good luck.

Protein drink quandry...advice?
Bob624 replied to Teachamy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
My Nut says the isopure is lacking in carbs that I need and suggested mixing it with a pure fruit juice. I mix cranberry juice with the Fruit punch 8oz isopure and 4oz pure cranberry, it cuts the artificial sweetener taste and has a nice tartness to it. -
Thanks! Live in Western North Carolina, I'll look for it.

Liquid Diet and Preparing For Surgery
Bob624 replied to cdunn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgery is 11/12. I started a week early with my liquid diet. This will not be first as I lost a large amount of weight four years ago on a medically supervised 12 week liquid diet. So the six weeks (3 before and 3 after) don't seem so bad. I'm not allowed any solid food at all. -
Just got my date yesterday and I'm November 12 as well. Decided to start my liquid diet a week early so just completed week one.
-
Sat by the phone, checked emails every 30 min. lol. Once I was approved then had to wait three agonizing days to be scheduled. Keeping busy works best.

3 weeks out and cant get protein in
Bob624 replied to Kelsnikol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Isopure protein, clear flavored liquid (40g of protein in 16oz), mix with 8oz juice of your choice (for carbs). GNC sells it. -
Waiting as well, Submitted last Tuesday.

Mine was over 500 questions, a half hour interview and then i had to interpret about 20 cliches. The testing did bring up some interesting things about me though, but nothing so serious as to delay the process.

Just received "The Emotional First+Aid Kit" by Cynthia Alexander in the mail today. It was recommended by a number of people on this site.

Question for Post-Ops: Intubation
Bob624 replied to LumpySpacePrincess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
5 surgeries in the past decade, never had tube in while is was awake. Expect a sore throat though. -
Yes being intubated during surgery can cause a sore throat. Mine lasted about four days with my hernia surgery.
