All my Protein Shakes are made with Water. I'm not fond of chocolate but I got the vanilla' date=' Cappuccino, strawberry, wildberry and a few others. I think after the surgery I will be more creative and use the Unjury for a base and use the dry Peanut Butter high in Protein that they have. I got a lot of great ideas on Pinterest. You should check it out.

Have been thinking of everyone having surgery! Hoping all goes well :)

I just had an appointment with the cardiologist and he wants a stress test which is fine but its a 2 day test b/c of my weight and i'm am scheduled for surgery on Monday... AHHH... they could only fit me in on Friday after noon, and by doing the days backwards i'm doing part of it now. I hope the dr doesn't want to postpone my surgery!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update....I am doing awesome. Probably drank Water too fast thing morning so I'm sitting in a chair and it feels better. My nurse today had the surgery back in October so it's nice she knows what I need. I'm a bit sore and only took my pain meds once this morning....they gave me that clotting shot and that stung so I took it :D I do wish everyone who is having surgery today a good and speedy recovery. I can't believe I am here but it feels great.

So happy for you!! I'm so glad your doing well. I can't wait until next Tuesday. But of course I'm probably going to need some words of encouragement the morning

/night of surgery. I think the nerves are setting in . :o

20 lbs is great!! :-) good for you. We all can't wait to join you. Are you hungry at all? Is it hard to get the Protein in? How does your stomach feel? Sorry all the questions. I'm too inquisitive sometimes. Lol

It's like the surgery day wasn't coming soon enough, but on the other hand now - its the countdown! Can't wait to wear a great pair of boots with skinny jeans and have my shirt tucked in with a belt. So many things I want to do!! I just hope I don't lose too much boobs! Sorry, just saying! TMI right?

      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.

      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.
