We are such individuals! I like Nature's Best - Extreme smoothies, both chocolate and vanilla.

Premier is the best I've found.

I'm not allowed to have Boost, or Ensure...NUT said too much hiden sugar, not enough Protein per serving and high on the carb side.

So far, I've not found any Protein supplements that are tolerable. I've tried Syntax peach nectar, unjury and GNC's Protein powder. I was told not to do Boost due to the carbs, but am concerned that I won't be able to find anything palatable prior to my surgery the 13th of December. Any suggestions?

Right now I can choose the Protein I want, but the week prior to my date of 12/23 I can only have

1) 4 1/2 bottles of Boost Glucose Controlled daily,

OR

2) 4 1/2 cans of Slim Fast High Protein daily,

OR

3) 5 1/2 packets Carnation Instant Breakfast No Sugar Added with 1%

milk,

OR

4) 5 individual cartons of Atkins Advantage.

I was told that what calories there are, I need. They don't want me to go without some calories and nutrients every day. Then after my surgery, I can choose my own protein again.

I'm not sure, but most people said premier is good.

I wasn't tolerating Protein Shakes until I started freezing it like a slush and drinking that way. I like premiere now but couldn't stomach it until ifroze it.

Rockin Refuel by Shamrock Farms. It's not whey, but I couldn't get that stuff down.

It has a lot of carbs; it seems almost impossible to find a Protein product without a lot of carbs that doesn't taste awful. Thanks for your help; I appreciate it much.

      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.
