Well I'm 6 days in on pre-op diet I started Jan 1st and I get the lap band on Jan 14th. I see my doctor on Jan 9th for weigh in for what ever reason I'm nerious about that even though I already lost 14 pounds on this liquid diet. I'm just counting down the days to get here these protien shakes is really messing with my taste buds. I see I am not alone in feeling how I do about this liquid diet. I have gotten different types of protien shakes and notice the ones from costco seem to be the best right now. Well I am very happy that this day is around the corner at the same time it feels like this will be a long 8 days for me.....

Congrats on your progress! My surgery is tomorrow and i am a little nervous and exited at the same time. What kind of Protein is good from costco i need to get some?

How Awesome!! The shake I got is called Protein vanilla flavor 30g protien and 3 carbs I only have 2 of these a day with a slim fast low carb or and Atkins shake. My doctor allowed up to 7 carbs a day so as of right now it works for me. How ever I'm having such a hard time finding slim fast low carb for some reason. Well Good luck to you any updates on your surgery would be great!!

Thanks!! I will try that..I have been mixing my Protein with banana, ice, and Water to make smoothie. Way easier to tolerate

That's great! I asked if I can mix fruit and they told me no. It seems like some people are able to have a little more then others. So enjoy that banana shake! I can really go for one right now :-)..

Jan 14 is also my surgery day! I started my pre op dec 31. I am using Bariatric Advantage 2 to 3 times a day and sugar free instant Breakfast to make a max of five shakes a day. Those are the only two kinds my doctor allows. I'm allowed sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. Also allowed broth but I haven't found a canned one I like. The first few days were rough but I'm felling better. I'm staying out of the kitchen for the most part and my husband is feeding the kids to reduce temptation. I went to a girl scout cookie rally last night -- yes Cookies everywhere-- and I did not take one bite!!
