My Journey began in November of 2011 when I decided on the RNY procedure. I had to attend 6 months of dietician appointments for my insurance approval and had my surgical consult 6/13/12. I was set on RNY but then my surgeon was sort of leaning towards the sleeve for me. I initially said no because I hadn’t researched the sleeve at all. After leaving his office, I spent the next 2 days researching the sleeve and then had a change of heart. I am scheduled for surgery on 6/28/12 and have decided to go with VSG, mostly thanks to this forum and all of the positive things you all have to say about the sleeve. I started my 10 day liquid diet yesterday and feel like I am going to die! How can people do this?? The Protein Shakes do nothing for my hunger but I am sticking to it (for now). I will write again as my big day approaches : )

      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.
