We can do this!!!!!!! Of course I'm so hungry I could eat my arm right now, but still, it's only 2 weeks and it will make the surgery safer. Eye on the prize, girl! We can do this. I swear./

Hey September Bypass Buddies,

I'm on day 3 of pre-op diet and I still don't feel well. However, I'm told that this too shall pass. My surgery is 9/11. I hope everyone is doing well.

Hey there Sept By-pass Buddies - I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I am still struggling with finding a decent Protein Drink. I like the Premier chocolate but one cannot live on chocolate all the time. Would love to hear some of your favs.

Sept 15th - 16 days and counting! YAY!

I'm scheduled for the 18th! I start my pre-op diet on the 4th. I know the pre-op diet will be a challenge, but I'm ready to get this new chapter of my life rolling!

I also like Premier chocolate. Premier was my favorite brand of those I tried out. My favorite of theirs was Banana's and Cream. Although, I know some people don't like bananas so it might not be for everyone. But if you do, maybe give it a try.

I became vegan 3 months ago. I am on pre-op diet since august the 8th. Surgery is next week, the 5th.

I am having soy Proteins that I mix with almond milk or cashew milk... when I am tired of sweet shakes I juice up (I am lucky enough to have a professional juice extractor) cucumber, spinach and kale and I add a total of 30g of soy Protein, a little bit of salt, pepper, squeeze a lemon ... and it is delicious and sugar free. If you do that, pay attention to avoid fruit or sweet veggies (such as tomatoes, carrots..). Check the nutritional values of anything you juice. Sending good vibes!

Wow - thanks - that sounds very interesting.... I really didn't think about doing veggies and adding Protein Powder. Something I def will have to look into. I am going to do some bone broth..... mixing that up with veggie juice sounds like something I could live with. Thanks again

UnJury makes some really tasty items! All sorts of flavors as well as unflavored that mixes into things nicely!

Thanks I'll be checking those out - I believe those were mentioned from one of the youtube bariatric videos I've watched.

Thanks again!

If you go to the Bariatric Pal Store there's lots of options for getting your Protein in. I just ordered some protein broth, vanilla Cappuccino, a couple of the Fruit Drinks and 4 Protein Shots, I'll let you know how they taste in a few days. As for the Protein Shakes I have to second Ceallaigh on the Premier Protein shakes.
