I would recommend you order some multi packs of nectar to try. Vitamin world sells individual packages. Big Train has a multi pack if you are into coffee. They are delicious rich n creamy!

I googled Big Train and ordered off their site. nectar you and google and find the best place to order. I think I ordered some multi packs off of Bariatric Advantage. I do about 40 gms of my Protein with RTDs. I struggle with powders. Big Train is the only one I really can tolerate. Also one more powder thats not too bad, Jay Robb's brand. Vitamin World sells individual packs for you to sample....so does Whole Foods if you have one in your area.

I couldn't handle the thick creamy Protein, so I had to find one that I was able to mix with water! The only one I liked was from Max Muscle here in West Des Moines, Iowa, I know they have a website!!! but I love their banana flavor when you mix it with Water it tastes like laffy taffy!!! they have all flavors!! I also like chocolate Splendor Unjury! Again Mixed with water!!!! I know it probably don't help much since you don't live here! But just some suggestions! Best of luck in your journey!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
