Try almond milk with your Protein powder. That's what I used when I was drinking them and it tasted better than milk.

My program recommends no fruit or vegetables until week 8. They want us to start out by focusing on Protein and they are right, IMHO. It didn't have anything with getting fat from fruit the way they explained it to us. There is no way I would be getting all my Protein in right now if I was trying to eat fruits or vegetables on top of it and protein is extremely important as your body is learning a new way to get energy. Last thing I want to do is lose muscle instead of fat because I'm not getting enough protein. But goes to show how different programs are.

Throwing out another Protein shake idea -- I love GNC's Lean shake 25 -- with 25 grams of Protein and 170 calories. And it's lactose-free.

If you get a GNC membership, you can get a discounted price on multiple cases of the shakes so they're less than $2 apiece.

I love the Swiss chocolate flavored ones. Mmm - mmm!

And yeah, fruit isn't what makes kids fat.

(Apparently, a lotta docs get out of medical school without passing "Nutrition 101." Sheez.)

children are NOT fat from eating fruit.

they are fat from eating too much sugar and processed foods. but not from eating real food.

This!

And because high fructose corn Syrup is in EVERYTHING. Including children's Tylenol.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
