I just wanted to share... This morning, I didn't have time to make a Protein Shake, so I picked one up at a local gas station (Sheetz). Tasted a bit chalky, but was only 14 oz and packed SO much in to SO little! For one bottle, it is 50 grams Protein, 270 cals, and only 3 grams sugar. Most of my Protein Shakes leave me hungry by this time, but I am still SO full and drank the shake at 7am! I'm excited. As much as I didn't enjoy the flavor, In probably going to look in to ordering a case of these online.

My bloodwork came back today. It's all really good, except the Vitamin B12 is high. Any thoughts?

Mine was high this last time. Because of the irreversible damage B deficiency can cause I have a fear of not getting enough so I've been taking 3000 a day instead of the recommended 500. Too much B won't hurt you. It's harmless, unlike some Vitamins which can cause problems (according to my nut). My doc suggested taking it every other day instead of every day.

thnaks for the suggestion. I will most likely hear from my doctor today. I just saw results online last night.

I think it was $2.50ish?? That was also at a gas station though. I'm sure you could find them cheaper online. :)

      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.

      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.
