@@bevlydon have you tried Premier Protein? It has 30g of Protein in a serving. I use both the take and go shakes and the powder and mix up my own shakes every morning. I also like Unjury and GENEPRO for unflavored protein and add it to other things.

I picked up a tub of whey Protein at gnc...just asked for unflavoured low carbs. It is the GNC brand.

My surgery was rescheduled to the 11th, so 3 weeks of a pre-op diet it is!

My surgery is scheduled for October 5th. I only have a 3 day pre op liquid diet. Kinda makes me nervous. It seems like every one else I've read has 1 to 2 weeks of it.

I'm scheduled for October 5 also. I only have to do one day liquid diet. I don't know what determines how long. Makes me a little nervous too, I'm afraid to eat.

I'm jst starting a YouTube chnnl & I'm going to take videos as much as I can throughout the process....one: for something to look back on for motivation when I hit "stalls" & two: so others who have many questions can at least see what I'm going through...

I put up a "test video" last night...jst because...but I am going to start documenting my PreOp visits, shopping for things I'll need postop, my actual surgery date (film as much as I can in the hospital), post op (pain & water/food/vitamin intake) etc....

If anyone wants to watch or follow: look for ...BariatricGirl 4life under R&Y intro (I think)... more to come!!

Also have a FB Acct under that name if want to add or follow ????

@@KristenLe, we're "October 18th Surgery Day Buddies"!! I don't have a 2 week liquid diet to adhere to but I'll have to do liquids only the day before surgery. On October 11 I have two appointments: the first is a Surgical Appointment and I will meet my surgeon for the first time. My second appointment is called "Pre Bariatric Dietitian Group. I don't know if will truly be a group meeting or if it will just me. I'm having my surgery at mayo Clinic - Rochester so there may be others.

I feel like all of this isn't real yet. I officially started this journey in March of this year. I've done all the tests, met with the psychologist and attended the 12 week behavioral classes and 3 months with dietitian. Once my October 11th appointments are over and the surgeon says, "See you on the 18th!" Then I'll feel like it's real. I'm ready to get this all rolling!

Where will you have your surgery?

It would be nice if we could keep in touch and help each other as October 18th approaches :-)

@@klouisa64 I can't wait!!!! I also started in March. My pre admission testing is Tuesday and then pre-op teaching class Thursday. I'm im RI - going to Miriam Hospital Bariatric Program. Add me as a friend- we'll keep in touch! :-)
