Thanks Terry. I have my pre-op meeting on 12/23 and I have to do a 10 day Protein pre-op diet....which is making me VERY nervous...does anyone have any suggestions as to what the best tasting/favorite Protein Drink out there might be...one that preferably makes you feel full longer...?

Visalus - you have to order it online but let me tell you its the best EVER! lowest sugar, carb, high Protein, Fiber, great taste NO after yuck. Let me know if you want my link to order it. $99.00 for 1 months supply - money back guarantee if you don't like it. Karen - I drink it daily, as does my husband and our diabetic daughter who swears by it for being the most "filling" - keeps her sugar in-check too!

I used Premier Protein it's 30 grams of Protein and low in sugar. You can pretty much find them everywhere now. They are not expensive and do not leave a nasty after taste.

All the Insurance Co are different. Your doctor will check your health.

Can you drink soda after you get it done?

Not at first... Some surgeons say never. Give it time.
