My surgery date is April 17th, and now that I have my date I am nervous! I have questions though. Does anyone know of some Protein Drinks with no dairy or whey, where I can get them?? Also if I have a hernia that the doctor doesn't know about, will he fix it when he does my vsg??

Yes usually they do, check GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, even my local health food store Down To Earth carries soy and other plant-based varieties. And check at Target because I know Wal-Mart handles a vegan type variety, if they do Target or Meijer probably does too. Might take some searching to find it but your health and YOU are worth it![emoji12] Shoot K Mart might too, not sure because our local one pulled up stakes and left town.

Congrats!

Two weeks before surgery they usually do an EGD scope and can tell if you need a hernia repair. Good luck.

Where did you find it? It sounds good, think I might go that way also,meat doesn't agree with me as much as it used to. Plus whey. does constipate a lot of people.[emoji21] What flavors does it come in? I'm allergic to chocolate and so,often that's about all one can find.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
