Never heard that! Yes, I don't see any reason why not. Many of us "oldsters" have them. I have a Protein shake everyday. But, check with your own surgeon and see what he/she has to say! I make mine at home, using smoothie mix and bananas, or strawberries or both!

Is it safe for me to have Protein shakes/slimfast shskes every morning for Breakfast? I read that too much liquid can cause slippage?

I've never heard Protein Shakes cause slippage...maybe you got it mixed up with, the band being too tight to only allow liquids to go down. I love Unjury chocolate Protein Powder in my soy milk...it's a very easy breakfast when I am on the go.

liquid passes on through.....gotta love those BS stories about the band

anyhow, if in doubt, call and ask your doctor for clarification..

i drink one each morning (and during the day when i want some chocolate)

BS Stories is right.....EVERYTHING cause slippage it seems.....a bunch of hysteria if you ask me.....

As far as shakes, I have a high Protein, home made smoothie every morning, made from fresh ingredients....at least 35 gm of protein....that's a lot off eggs!

I have one at least daily. If I'm really rushed, I might have 2.

      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.
