So I bought muscletech whey isolate chocolate (my doc said it was fine) for my protein shakes. I am about to start my 2 week liquid diet. I tried the powder for the first time with 2% milk (bought 1% for future use today) and it is NASTY! I puked it was so gross. I have had protein shakes before. So I don't know why this one is so gross. Anyway my question is what can I add to it, to make it taste better? i can't do any sugar or foods? Any suggestions?

I am due to have the surgery sleeve on 9/7 basically one week away. My family doesn't want me to do it for fear I won't make it through the procedure. I need to make a final decision and fast. I was born with half a heart (left heart syndrome) and was given a new to the US surgery to save my life at 7 (Fontan) in 1987. My heart is very rare and the surgery basically makes my blood pump backwards to save my life. Due to not being able to excercise (I can't walk to far without being tired), I gained a lot of weight. I am only 4 foot 8 inches and weigh 220. I need to lose half that weight. My cardioligist approved my surgery but is concerned about the gas needed to inflate my stomach for the surgery. It is risky and puts a lot of pressure on my heart. Also having anesthesia is hard on it. He said to me last week, you survived 37 years more than we thought (was suppose to die hours after birth), had two C- sections and healthy babies so I think you can do this. Yet I am worried. Has anyone else ever had a serious heart condition before sleeve surgery and did okay with it?

My cardiologist won't be at that hospital. There is cardiologists there though. Instead of doing it at the center they moved it to Shawnee mission medical center in Kansas. I met with anesthesia yesterday and they assured me a cardiac anesthesiologist would be there. We have a plan so I am ready and praying it all works out. I have lived my whole life as a Guiene pig lol. So I know how it goes down. I am in a lot of record books (for doctors) and the case of many studies. I just ignore it anymore

I believe I wouldn't be here if God didn't have a purpose for me. I am praying he gives me a sign as to yes or no on the surgery because I don't know what to do.

I am on a two week liquid diet before surgery. I called the nutrition is today and explained at day 5 I felt like I was going to pass out. She gave me the okay to have some chicken for dinner. Yay!!!

I haven't had my sleeve surgery yet but that is my biggest fear. Doing all of this and then gaining it back. ((Hugs) Hang in there. My only advice is start slowly with cutting down on foods and eating more proteins and less carbs

Hi everyone. I am new to this board but so glad to have found it. I am from Leavenworth Kansas and am about to have my gastric sleeve surgery on 9/7/17. I am hoping you can help me figure out if I screwed up. I bought the Muscletech Premium whey isolate protein powder for my two week liquid diet. It was the only one with the lowest fat and carbs. I need to know if this is okay to use as we don't have a lot of money and I can't really afford to buy more. Thanks everyone.

My sleeve surgery is on the 7th of September. I am so nervous but very excited!
