Hello April buddies! I’m planning on having gastric bypass. haven’t had my surgery date scheduled yet, but am hoping for an April date. I’ve done all the labs, tests, psych evaluation and two nutrition visits. Last things on my list are EGD and 3rd nutrition visit before sending off for approval.

Throughout the process, I’ve been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, insulin resistance and hypertension. These are all issues I was fairly aware of and just kept putting off testing until this year. Hope everyone has a smooth journey!

I just bought fair life Protein Shakes to try one of each and I also bought the elite core which has 42 g of Protein but 11 g of carbs going to try those this week, I also bought the protein Water, don’t know if I will like them I’m not a big fan of flavored water, so we’ll see!

Where’d you find the fair life Protein Shakes? I’d like to buy some .

I am going to make my own shakes - with unflavored Protein Powder, fair light skim milk and want to try a little Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup in them,

I found them at BJ's warehouse the other day. Didn't buy them but it was under $20 for a pack of 12 (don't remember cost exactly). It's about the same as Premier Protein at $18 for 12.

I am going to ask if I can buy my own shakes but on the papers it says that everyone goes on Bariatric Advantage for 2 weeks before:( I do hope that I can buy my own but I am not holding breath on it.. I will have to adjust and figure it out for 2 weeks one way or another. I just think this will be the hardest part for me..

Hey... I’m hoping for an April date but I won’t know until another week or so. I’m so excited, anxious, & ready to take this new step. Finding this forum is the best. I’ve read so much and learned so much.

Meijer s has them they were by the Water which is why I couldn’t find them before (I was looking by the Protein drinks) pricey 249 a bottle on sale, but I wanted to try them before I buy any cases
