Chelle - I'm doing the same thing about restaurants. There are 2 new places I haven't tried yet, The Flying Pig and Kickback Jacks. There's also a place that makes really good baked macaroni and cheese.

But I'm holding out and went to Panera bread for a healthy salad and Soup. I only ate my salad and I'm already looking forward to my soup later. I'm trying to be strong lol. I start my pre op diet Friday.

I stopped carbonated drinks in April. I'm surprised I don't want to feel the burn of one last coke lol.

Good luck!

Chelle. We are in the exact same boat!! I just had pad Thai figurng I have 13 days till my liquid diet lol. It's going to be great in the end for both of us. We have to keep strong! Have you found a protien shake you like yet? I have to start looking.

I have only tried the Pure Protein stuff in vanilla. Its pretty thick, like a shake- and way better when its really cold. I was actually blending fruit in with it- and that was pretty great. I am on a Quest to find a Protein Drink that is more of a liquid texture, as opposed to a think shake type texture.

Isopure is more like Gatorade than a creamy shake.

My husband has several bags of this and I've asked my NUT about using them. She didn't recommend it because it only had 12 grams of Protein. She said I would have to drink more to get in my daily Protein. She also said the after taste is worse in powders with higher protein. I also have to make sure it's 100% whey.

Have you asked your NUT for their opinion ?

My surgery is going to be in Mexico so I don't have a lot of info yet. I want to try to figure it all out and have my pantry stocked before I go so I won't have to go out when I get home. I'm not sure what the guidelines are as far as adequate amounts of what post op so that's why I ask. Maybe I could mix 2 scoops instead of 1 to double the Protein. I'm still 3 weeks away so I have time to research it more but I just was thinking about all the Protein Drinks I've ever had ans visalus is by far the best tasting imo. Thanks for the tip. I def dont want to be deficient on anything.

My bariatric pantry sells sample packs of syntax Protein Powder and single bottles of Isopure. It was fairly quick shipping, too.

Bariatric Advantage has a huge selection. Super fast shipping. I also got cytosport. 20 g of protein more like gatorade. My nut. Also has a recipe for double strength milk...1c skim milk with 5T of nonfat dry milk. You could add it to any shake mix and get extra protein.
