@ mesparkle83 indeed...its in the bag! My dr has me on a specific brand of protien shakes called Optifast. Its the only brand he authorized...of course because the office sells it...but they SUCK SOOOOO BAD!!! I can only manage to swallow the chocolate one in huge gulps. I also have bars and broth which is tolerable. I dont know if im more excited about surgery or the day i can stop drinking these shakes.< /p>

As for Protein shakes...i did like optimum nutrition gold standard frm GNC...i was also a big fan of Isopure.

Hope you find one you like...if so please share...i really have a hard time with these shakes.

@ mstee83 I've found one I like.. It's called Premier Protein but I can't drink it after surgery so I'm still looking. I ordered a few more sample packs and I'll start those tomorrow. How is your pre-op diet going?

[mstee83 22]

@ meSparkle83 hey girl...glad you found one you liked...i will try that after surgery. So far the pre-op diet is going well...still choking down these shakes but the hunger and edge has gone. Its gotten better after day 4, just counting down. When do you start your pre-op?

[meSparkle83 153]

@ mstee83 I start my pre-op tomorrow. I'm sorta excited.

Are u trying to put a pic up in the threads or for ur profile?

[meSparkle83 153]

If u add a profile pic tap the box where the pic goes and ur profile should come up and u will see a small camera in the bottom of the profile box, u then add one from ur pics or take one

Thank you, I'm looking for Protein Shakes that aren't so chalky tasting.

I appreciate it.

Where are you in this process?
