Getting sleeved Monday morning!! Excited and nervous at the same time. I am doing 7 days pre-op liquids and am drinking 4 Bariessential shakes a day.

I have been getting things together for post-op and have tried MANY Protein Shake samples. My favorites so far have been Celebrate ENS and whey Natural! USA. I have not seen much here about Whey Natural! USA and (IMO) it is by far the best tasting. Does anyone have experience with Whey Natural! USA??

Here is a link: http://www.wheynaturalusa.com/store/p/48-Natural-STRAWBERY-2-5-lb-38-Servings-FREE-SHIPPING.aspx

Thanks !!!

Good luck. I'm scheduled for Monday as well. I'm using Sytrax Matrix powder (perfect chocolate and strawberry). When I'm busy, I use premade Natures Best Extreme smoothie. Not my favorite taste, but w/ 35 g of Protein, 7 carbs and 170 calories, they get the job done! I've had a 2 week pre-op diet, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. 15 pounds since the 22nd.

Good luck to you, and awesome job on the pre-op!

I have lost 6lbs in 6 days, so I'm not going to complain. I haven't been tempted to cheat yet. I figure if I don't have the will power to do what Is needed to prepare for surgery, I can't expect to succeed in changing how I eat for the rest of my life.

I've used Visalus Protein Shake mix exclusively. It's the best tasting drink I've found. Only 12g Protein to 8-12 ounce milk/soy milk. 90 calories before milk. I add fruit to change it up. I've not read anyone else using it.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
