Project me is right! Every one of your topics were answered....maybe not to your suiting. But this is a forum and support group. Everyone is different in our journey and all we can do is support, give praise and congrats on your posted accomplishments. There are other tools on the internet to supply you with information and your insurance company can provide you with all the pertinent information that you need. I hate to see you leave as I see you have made good progress so far and I personally enjoy seeing it. Good luck in your journey!!

Today 12/22/2014 was the first day of my new lifestyle. I started my meal replacement protein drinks. My doctor gave me a guide line to follow for two weeks before my RNY surgery. Breakfast = one premier protein shake Snack = one premier protein shake Lunch = small side salad, NO CHEESE or CROUTONS two tablespoons light dressing Snack = one premier protein shake Dinner = Lean Cuisine type meal Snack = one premier protein shake Day 1 went great. Normally I would take 120u Lantus with breakfast and again at bedtime. Plus 40u Novolog at each meal and bed time. Needless to say the Novolog stopped in September. As of today I have taken no Lantus. My bedtime sugar reading was 107. I am so excited. I will be having my surgery on Jan. 09, 2015. Also today my wife has completed her RNY surgery. Go Barb!!! I am so proud. I am glad we are doing this together.

What does your surgeon allow? Mine allowed one cup of veggies a day, (non starchy veggies), and a half cup of low fat cottage cheese or one cup of yogurt. I was also allowed decaffeinated beverages such as decaf coffee and decaf tea. I found that International Delight makes a sugar free/decaf powder to add to hot water that makes a French vanilla latte and that really took hunger pangs away plus it wasn't too sweet. You get really sick of sweetness really fast on this diet because everything is fruit flavored. I preferred the broth from Mrs Grass soup when I needed something savory. During the first five days of the diet I would put my cup of veggies into my broth to make a "soup" and I would eat that when my family ate. It felt like a real meal. I lived for my cottage cheese between meals, I'm not a yogurt eater in any way so the cottage cheese was my BFF. I put salt and pepper or other spices on that to give it flavor and make it savory. Also, I used PB2, powdered peanut butter, if you have never heard of it, you can find it near the peanut butter in most stores or online. It adds a decent amount of protein to your shakes and makes them taste like peanut butter. I added it to a chocolate shake and it tasted like a liquid peanut butter cup!

My question is basically for those that have been through the liquid diet part of the RNY surgery. I was told that the liquid diet is basically Protein shakes. So I have picked up some Premier Protein drinks. I have both chocolate and strawberry & cream. I have to be on this 2 weeks before, and 2 weeks after my surgery. I was wondering about other liquids like V8 Splash Diet. Drinking plenty of Water has never been a real problem for me. So what would you suggest to break it up, so I am not drinking 4 shakes every day. I did buy a Ninja blender to make smoothies. I have been experimenting with that, and ESA Protein powder. Mainly Greek Yogurt based smoothies.
