Got My Surgery Date!

[n2animals 5]

I just met the surgeon yesterday and I am scheduled to have my lap band surgery on January 26th!!! I am so excited, I cant wait.

I keep thinking of all the things I need to do to prepare for after the surgery. I am happy that I dont have to do a liquid diet prior to surgery. Right now I am making a list of things I want to eat before I cant anymore, sushi and steak & lobster are on the top of the list.

Can anyone recommend a good pre-mixed canned Protein shake?

congrats!! my surgery is jan 30th! does your surgeon make you do a liquid diet before surgery? as far as premixed Protein, I have tried the EAS advantage carb control in chocolate, from sam's club. It's pretty good.

Congratulations on your surgery date!

No, he is not requiring me to do a liquid diet prior, that is why I want to eat all the good stuff before I cant and start fresh with a healthier diet!

Congrats, mine is on the 27th!

I found two that were pretty good, the Atkins shakes were not horrible, what I so sometimes if I ha v ent had one in a while is pour it into a bigger container and shake it up so the consistency is a little thicker, I def helps considering its as thin as Water initially.

And boost glucose control, my dad has always been a boost drinker so I would drink them as well and when I found the glucose control, because it has very little sugar and a lot of Protein I wanted to try it, its pretty good at room temp.
