jodie51878 1 Posted August 7, 2011 Ok so feeling better...I DO have a funny story about my stay.....they listed me as a regular diet....the nurse said it would be easier for me to stay on my pre-op diet thta way so I could pick and choose (fruits plus veggies etc) so my lap band buddy brought up my shakes..hospital didn't have them and I ordered off the menu for example I would order a chicken broth...extra hot water...2 crystal lights.....an apple....and a skim milk....and this would do for breakfast/snack.....well the 287lb girl only ordering like this must have put up some red flags......dietary keep sending up ensure shakes to me....I would send them back...and sure enough 10 min later the girl would be knocking on my door saying "the dietitian says you have to get something in your body or you won't heal" so i would show her my shakes in the room and tried to reassure her....no luck, they kept sending them....lol when I left there was a pile by the door!!!!

My dietitian said no to ensure because of the sugar content....i drink the muscle milk light, and carnation instant Breakfast sugar free....the vanilla ones taste goos with crystal light strawberry (think BK shakes) and crystal light orange (dreamsicle) I like them, but it is a trial and error process to find one right for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
