Headed to piedras negras, mexico with Dr a Alvarez. Very excited for it to get here already. Not looking forward to pre op liquid diet. Anyone know where to get different samples before i buy and get stuck with protien powers i don't like???? I watch Dr.A videos on a daily basis and am very happy with this choice I've made. I just love him.

I bought so many and hated them all after a while (wasted a lot of money). except one. I'm one year out and Looooove all three Premiere Protein flavors, especially choc and strawberry (like Quick). . costco here has all three flavors

Hi Nickbel I have found the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder to be very good. They are tasty and mix well with cold or hot. You can check it out online. I also ordered my Vitamins and Calcium from them. Good luck

Geez-happyfrog4u, you must have been reading my mind. Just ordered starter pack since I heard all good responses on Unjury. Was actually on phone with them when you replied. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks and god bless.

Also have bought 1 of a few other brands to sample including the premium Protein from sams before buying a bunch of 1 thing. I just don't want to be wasteful, as I know it can get expensive. And being a self payer means don't go overboard buying things I wont use.

At Vitamin Shoppe they'll mix some samples for you. I lived on Giant Sports Protein Powder both pre and post op. Also, I believe that Nashua Nutrition is the company that sells samples of many brands of Protein powders. I tested a bunch of them before I actually had to rely on them, and I'm so glad that I did.

Good luck to you!

      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.
