hi, I'm 2 weeks post op.

I've been drinking Protein shakes for the last 6 months, I already try Isopure dutch chocolate Low Carb(50grm), Isopure strawberry n cream Zero Carb(50g), Myoplex Light Vanila(25g), Myoplex Regular Strawberry(42g), Myoplex Deluxe strawberry (54g), Muscle Milk ready to drink shake 11onz (22g) Cookies n cream or banana.

The Isopure is the best to loose weight because is the one with less cal, carb , etc but the taste is not that good even mixed w fat free milk or Soy milk and is Whey Protein.< /p>

The Myoplex light is too thick, the myoplex deluxe too many cal not good for us, myoplex regular mixed w orange juice light Tropicana 50 is the best in flavor but have a few more cal than Isopure and is a mix of different Proteins.

The Muscle milk is the one i been drinking w the pre op diet and post op is rich in flavor it tastes like a milkshake it also have mix of dif Proteins but the downside is that have too many cal to fat.

My Favorite is the Myoplex Reg Strawberry mixed w the Tropicana 50 is very good and gives in total like 45grms of protein at once. Try it u wont regret it.

Hi, thanks to the replys.

I was at 330 pounds and 51.7 bmi

and now i'm at 295 pounds and 46.2 bmi

I haven't had any surgery yet and i'm not taking any diets pills. My weight loss is for the diet and the Gym.

In the first 12 pounds i wasn't really doing any diet, just trying to eat good and walk more but when the doctor told me about my weigh loss i get motivated, so i decide to make a diet and start working out, I'm burning about 1200 calories a day in the treadmill, 5 days a week and trying to consume no more than 1800 calories a day, sometimes even 1500. I even did the liquid diet with the slim fast optima for 1 week, just getting the 4 cans a day and that's it.

To tell you the true i never though in getting the lap band, but since i lost almost 35 pounds on my own i think i just need some help, not something to drastic like the by pass.

I decided to get the sleeve gastric but i'm thinking to get the lap band instead. My surgery is schedule for August/17.

My goal is to loose about 100 pound.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Everybody I'm in the same dilemma i choose the sleeve gastric, but right now i'm thinking to get the lap band I'm still two months away from my surgery date 08/17 at Bellevue Hospital Center in NYC. This happend because in the last two months i've lost 22 pounds by my self with gym and diet. So this make me think that i don't need something to drastic because i could do it for my self. So at the moment at 75% sure to get the lap band and the other 25% for the sleeve gastric. Any suggestions? George from Ny 5' 7"/295/28 yrs. Good Luck!
