I'm on my 4th week of Optifast and I love them. They are a little pricey and only available through distributors. Check out their website OPTIFAST - weight loss, weight management, improved health, renewed energy and self esteem

I also had this question. I start my pre-op diet on the 10th.

Has anyone come across a non-sweet shake that they like? I really am not fond of sweet food....like chocolate and vanilla shakes. Is there some unflavored or savory powders that someone has tried and liked?

Thanks!

my nutritioniest told me of a product called Unjury they have a tasteless protine that I guess you add to drinks Soup ect but I have never tried it. I am skeptical witch was the reason for my post. I have tried the mussle milk whey vanilla and omg it it soooooo gross! I gag every time I try to drink it.

I have tried the Myoplex Lite chocolate and while it was not super good it was drinkable. I did not care for it because it left a coating in your mouth. But I did like the Muscle Milk Chocolate. I only buy the pre-mixed ones because I just don't have time in the morning to get all the stuff out to mix one and that way I can just toss it in my bag and drink it when I get to work. They say not to freeze them (the pre-mixed ones) but I toss my in the freezer for about 15 to 30 minutes so it is nice and cold. It makes it a little easier to get down. I have not started my offical pre-op diet but have just been trying some for Breakfast to find one I like before I have to do the pre-op. I will need to check out the unflavored kind. Oh and it is not a Protein Shake but Crystal Lite makes a Strawberry/Banana mix that has Protein in it. Not a lot but hey every little bit helps right.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
