13 days and counting!

[SMartin723 2]

Hey all! I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.

I am a Nursing Student, wife and mom of 4 little ones. We live in North Carolina. I am 13 days from surgery, currently in the throws of my liquids diet. I will be getting my gastric sleeve on August 6th!

I'd love any tried and loved Protein Shake recommendations and other ways you stayed sane through your liquids only. Although I know the end product is beyond worth it! I hope to get to know you all during our journeys.

Welcome! So far I've tried a few, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendour is my favorite. All of them taste just fine to me while I'm drinking them, but some of the others seem to leave an aftertaste later.

Welcome aboard!! I too came aboard a couple to few weeks ago. This forum is AWESOME!! You can get some good pointers from our peers. I will have my surgery on next Wednesday (7/30) and I found (for me) I tolerate the pre-made (protein) shakes. I have a problem with the after taste that some of the various powders leave.

However, I am ordering UnIjury products today (powder shake/chicken broth), because I hear such great reviews. Use any powders is what my doctors office informed me.

Good luck!

I have tried Bariatric fusion and unjury (the injury is my favorite). But have you found this thread? TONS of smoothie recipes. :-)
