zerogluten 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Hi! I am approved for banding, but hesitant. I have blood sugar issues (not diabetic) and am afraid if I have the surgery and cannot eat much that I won't be able to get enough Protein to keep my blood sugar balanced. I am lactose intolerant so I can't get my Protein through dairy. Right now I rely on chicken, fish, turkey, nuts, and Beans. Did anyone else have blood sugar problems prior to surgery? How did it work out for you after surgery? Thanks :cool2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenFY09 0 Posted November 2, 2008 The Protein Shakes my doctor put me on are sugar free and I mix them with Water not milk, so maybe those would work for you. The brand is Syntrax Nectar. It comes in a bunch of different flavors, mostly fruit but also van, choc and cappichino. They taste pretty good and have 23g Protein, 0 carbs and 90 cals.
