Surgery Tomorrow and food questions

momhappe1 · October 20, 2004

My surgery is tomorrow, thank God, and I have a few questions.

I ordered some Isopure Zero Carb protien drink in the 20 oz bottles. YUK.. Does anyone know of a way to make them taste better? All I taste is protien. I have only tried them cold and that could be one of the problems as they seem really thick.

I also ordered some Unjury powder and I cannot wait to try it. So any receipts would be great.

I know that I do not post very much on this site as I work way too much. But reading this site and all of your thoughts and history on the lapband is what made me decide to do it.

So thank you all and I will see you on the other side in a few days.

I really like the unjury. I also like that they are a very responsive company and they usually rush your first order to you. Congratulations on your surgery!

Thanks for the link, Nana! I just ordered the chocolate and the unflavored.

Thank you all. I did not order enough of the unflavored. I will have to order some more. I ordered mostly vanilla and chocolate. I am sure that the unjury will be great it was the Isopure that was so bad. But it has 40 grams of Protein in it so that is what I will need for almost the whole day.

I have been on Clear liquids for 5 days pre op. I am to the point now that I am not even hungery. I have two weeks of full liquids then 4 weeks of mushy. But as long as I can eat Soup, perfect time of the year for this, I will be ok. I have everything for my Protein drinks, sugar free Jello and pudding, yogurt and my list of Vitamins and drugs advised on here for gas pains.

OH I CANNOT wait!!!

My doctor has me on Carnation Instant Breakfast, no sugar added. They aren't bad either.

Congratulations and best of luck to you tomorrow for a super surgery and recovery! You sound like you have everything in order. All you need is your band! Get ready for a wonderful life change for you and your entire family!

Um, Protein Drinks - I got unflavored powder locally and blended in fruit. Tasted like a smoothie. That stuff is nasty by itself! I also grab the Atkins shakes (chilled) in a can when in a hurry. An 11 oz. can has 20 grams Protein, 170 calories, and 170 sodium.
