Where can you order samples of different Protein Shakes?

Try Nashua Nutrition. They have samples you can purchase from various vendors all on one site.

Yesterday was first day of pre-op diet and I thought it went well. Around 10 pm I noticed a rash on my neck and face and it continued today.

Went to the dr and he thinks I'm allergic to the whey in my shakes. Ordered a new type w/o whey but what a pain in the a$$.

On a positive note I lost 2 lbs.

Sorry about the rash, but congrats on the 2 lbs.. you are on your way to being a loser!!!

To all my sister/brother Dec. 2nd sleevers! OMG!!! Before I start I'd like to say "Thank you God" for this support group. Okay, so I just came from my post-op appointment and finally meet my surgeon. That's another OMG! He was so tall, handsome, great personality and what a hand shake! I'm so glad that my husband wasn't with me:) Everything is set and on track. I start my liquid diet on Monday. 3 Protein shakes and liquids:( I'm not too much worried about Thanksgiving. My plan is to send my husband and son down the street to the neighbors for dinner. I'll take myself to the movies during dinner. It actually feels good to not have to worry about stuffing myself silly and then regretting it the next day. Then after my regrets I stuff away again. Not anymore. Too all of my Dec. 2nd's whose already started your liquid diet, Hang in there!

Here We Go!

[and then... 19]

Hello! I am getting sleeved on Dec 3rd I just got confirmation yesterday. Was instructed to start my liquid diet that day. I was unable to get everything to start liquid on such short notice so I started it today. It has been a long day.

I am excited, and scared, and nervous, and oh gosh really just a big ball of emotions, a big ball of hungry emotions! Lol

Happy to have found fellow Dec sleevers!

So glad my surgery time was moved from 4pm to 12pm on the 2nd. While I would prefer an earlier time, this will work.

That was one good thing about making my appointment back in September - I got to claim the first surgery time I had no desire to sit around and wait.

I went to my last PCP appt today (actually finished my 6-month supervised diet with PCP in Oct but due to delays with processing I had to keep going until surgery) and I was down another 14.5 lbs!! I've lost 33.5 lbs since starting this journey in March! Super excited for my Dec date to get here!
