For me it was about 6 weeks. 2 nutritionist meets, a physc meeting, a stress test, tomorrow a pre-surgery meeting at the hops and Friday an endoscopy/colonoscopy. The colonoscopy is not part of the lap-band but I was due and they said they cud due them at same the. my surgery is on the 17 july.

Pre-Op is going, today was hard being with the family for the 4th of July BBQ and not really eating what I'd like to, of course...but I survived, so that's good! Wow, 5 shakes that's a lot. I have to do 1 shake for Breakfast, 1 for lunch and a lean cuisine or equivalent for dinner, 1 snack that can be another shake but I got popcorn/cheese stick/yogurt to mix it up. I need to go buy some unflavored Protein to add more to stuff. Not sure I could do Only shakes, I might go more nuts then I already am, lol..you're lucky you're not hungry, I'm waiting for that phase, lol. Keep me updated! Best of luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
