Hi everyone. I am new here and am excited to have found this app! My surgery is scheduled on July 25 and I am getting the sleeve. Starting my liquid diet now. Haven't decided on the Protein Shakes yet.

Hi there I didn't have the sleeve but my friends have. I had the band put in two weeks ago.

Protien shakes I like GNC and there Vitamins lol I really enjoy glucerna that has 15 grams if Protein per bottle. Good luck with surgery. You will be just fine. Just remember when your super hungry drink slow and take it all in as things do get better. Were all here for you.

Where you from?

Keep in touch in your progress

surgery July 25 - getting the sleeve.

@

Welcome, Welcome to Sleeveland

we are all wonderful people, (especially me!! )

Surgery one week from Friday!!!

you must be so excited, nervous, apprehensive, but hopefully most excited

these different emotions pre-op are common to some/most of us prior to surgery

do not buy toooo much of the Protein shake (enough for these 2 weeks of course)

frequently tastes we have will change after surgery

don't stock up on the shakes, because you possibly might not like the taste/ flavor after surgery

hope you've been exploring/reading the boards since you made the wise choice of having the sleeve

(I could tell yoiu are smart as a "cookie" )

the first couple of nights, then weeks can/might be difficult, later ups and downs

BUT hopefully/probably most/all will go terrific

i know you will be very successful

good luck

speedy recovery

Thank you guys for your incredible response. I am very excited about moving forward. I have thought a lot about the type of Protein Shakes that I need to get. I am wondering if I should purchase the GNC mix which is about $75 or if I should buy the four pocket Walgreens?

I used Bariatric Advantage. I got two packages of it so I didn't get grossed out from one. I got a vanilla and a banana cream. They were both were ok but I found that I liked the vanilla with real banana in the blender. I was allowed to add fruit to mix if I only used Water instead of skim milk. Made the shakes far easier for me do for the two weeks.

Well, I have purchased the Premier Protein shakes. I like the idea that the shakes are already made and I bought them as Sams for a decent price.

So, I will try them during this liquid diet phase. July 25 is my day! Looking forward to it
