I heard no OJ or any citrus for awhile cause it irritates the pouch - something like that. Which I hope changes after awhile cause I like lemon as a seasoning. Anyone else hear this too?

My surgeon didn't say not to drink OJ but it's like a little in the morning & sometimes evening & it's Water down OJ has fithy percent less sugar.

I will be calling my weight center tomorrow as I can't live like this. Water, tea, broth and carnation instAnt Breakfast. I will see if I can have yogurt etc. my center does not want you to eat anything that they have not approved as they know how it effects your system.

Where have you found the Isopure liquid ....and does it taste good ? What favors does anyone recommend?

Coconut Water is allowed in my diet also oranges not orange juice just don't swallow white stuff. Even if coconut water has 15 grams of sugar I drink it because it helps me with keep hydrated

The Isopure Protein drink tastes kinda like filmy Gatorade. It kinda coats my tongue. But it's not a bad taste. It is tolerable. They are best cold cold cold and so far I have tried the fruit punch one and the blue raspberry. The fruit punch is not very sweet, the blue raspberry is very sweet. My taste buds apparently changed following surgery and I don't like super sweet things right now... So I don't care for the blue raspberry. I also have mango peach to try. I only purchased them for my 1 week of clear liquid diet following surgery which I am almost done with. They are quite expensive (over $5.00 for 1 20 oz bottle) but they were better tasting than my Body Fortress Cookies and Cream mixed with Water ( MAJOR YUCK!) They can be purchased at GNC. My GNC let me purchase 3 individual bottles in 3 different flavors (they had to open cases to let me do this) but I didn't want a whole case of them. 12 bottles is more than 1 full month of ALL my Celebrate Vitamins, Iron and Calcium. Yikes! Good luck finding something you enjoy.

      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.
