Recommended Posts

May 23rd is my date also! Good luck to u! What shakes are u using? I'm struggling through them also. I'm using anywhey.

I have been drinking the GNC whey double chocolate....not to bad. I think the trick is to blend it in something and make sure it's cold

I'm officially banded!! Checked in at 5:45am and was home by 12:30pm!! Everything went smoothly. I'm in a little bit of discomfort, mainly on my left side, and a little out of it from the anesethia and pain meds. Other than that I feel good, i'm up and moving around, using the bathroom and drinking water! I was so worried when i went in this morning , but now i'm relieved it's over!!

I am back at home now from surgery. It went very smoothly, but I have hernias that have probably been there since I had my twins. My dr said it was no big deal and he would repair them in 4-6 months. The pain really has not been bas at all. I wih all of you luck and hope that your surgery goes as well as mine did.

Okay, I got my approval Tuesday and my surgery is next Wednesday, May 25th 2011. I am really nervous. Please tell me if anyone has used the True Results Protein. How is it? How does it compare in price to some of the others that might taste good?

Thank you,

Weesie

May 31st 2011 is the big day to make me little :P

Me too! @ 9:30AM! I am so ready/excited! But now Im a little nervous that my surgery will get canceled because at my final pre-op nutrition class, the coordinator mentioned that the doctors have canceled surgeries if the patient gained weight since their initial appointment. Mine was back in february & I have gained about 6-7 pounds, a lot due to this camp I coordinated last week. But I start my liquid diet today and my history appointment isnt until Tuesday so I hope I lose those 7 pounds...I would cry If i came this far to see it all get canceled.

Anyway, good luck to you! lets keep in touch!

Don't worry. You're gonna lose that 6 or 7lbs very quickly if u follow the pre op diet precisely.

Hi, Weesie, congrat on your date! I haven't use True Results protein. How much is it? Do you like it? Is it liquid or powder?

I have used Unjury powder, and also GNC powder. I got the Unjury on line for $18-20 each (16.2 oz each), plus $6 shipping for the three. So I guess that averages to about $21 each container. I got the GNC 100% whey Protein Powder (16 oz) at a GNC store in the mall. It was $22, but was buy one, get one half off. So that turned out cheaper than the Unjury...came to about $17 each. All of them taste great when blended with non-fat milk and ice. I also have put it in my coffee and like it. Just got to mix it alot.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
