If you have a GNC where you are, you can try the Isopure Protein drinks...they aren't shakes, and in most cases they go down pretty well during the initial stages after surgery. I suggest just getting one or two at first, and try different flavors...they come in quite a few different varieties. Also, I was told instead of just plain broths, you can try any Soups that you can see through, but need to strain all the solids out of it. Not as hearty, but more flavor than broth!! To get a little sweet flavor, try sugar-free ice pops...I still have those for snack even now!!

I was allowed creamed Soups that were strained...cream of chicken, cram of mushroom, etc.

Add low fat powdered milk to broth for a Creamer Protein source

Strained Soups were my best friend during the liquid stages. They can be really flavorful, even without all the solid bits in them. Though I will say that it felt kind of wasteful to just throw away all the solids from my soups.

If you have a Panda Express (or any Chinese place for that matter) near you..I found the hot & sour Soup (strained) to be the most freakin flavorful thing in the world at that stage....seriously, it was like gold to me!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
