Agree with the Premier Protein. Vanilla is good cause you can use different SF Flavors do change it up. GNC go lean is good also.

I really liked GNC Lean shakes before surgery but after surgery my lil sleeve couldn't tolerate them. I LOVE Premier Protein RTD (ready to drink). chocolate is my favorite. It tastes like a frosty especially if you blend it with ice. Vanilla has a good flavor but has a gritty texture to it. I haven't found the strawberry one yet. I'm 8 months out and I've tried a lot of different shakes Premier is the only one I still drink.

I feel like a little liar. The cleaning lady in our my building stop me and asked me what did I do. And I Pretended like I did not know what she was talking about. She said you loss a lot of weight. What did you do? And I lied and said eating different and a lot of exercise.

That's not really a lie. You are eating differently and exercising. Frame your success however you would like. WLS is a tool that you have. It is not the end all to be all. Congratulations on your success!

It's not a lie though. I've been sweating my ass off in the gym and counting calories like a fiend. I know all of you guys have been too! So I am eating differently and working out. Yes, I had surgery, but it is not the only thing I've done to lose weight.

Hi, I have a question for post - op I'm having my surgery on 7/3/14 and I'm due to start my summer session in college. Do anyone think that would be a bad idea. I have heard of people going back to work in a week. I figured I took two weeks off work and my class is only 2 days a week so I can recuperate the rest of the time I'm not at work. A couple of family members been saying I'm doing to much and now I'm second guessing myself please give me an advise you can thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
