That depends on the brand, type (pre made or powder)

I buy mine from Wal mart $15.00 52 g Protein Powder form flavor Cookies and cream. I also buy EAS premade drinks 4 for $5.00

I used Slim Fast - Low Carb & found them at a very reasonable price on Amazon.com with free shipping. The shakes can get a bit boring, but I have blended them with ice & added extracts on occassion (orange or coconut) a piece of banana, spoon full of Peanut Butter & I have heard of adding instant coffee, but haven't tried it yet.

I've been using several options: Carnation Instatnt Breakfast sugar-free, Boost Glucose Control, Slim Fast Optima or Glucerna. I had coupons for most of these. You can register on their websites and they'll send them to you in the mail!

I'm adding yogurt or skim milk, ice. My pre-op diet includes raw vegetables (carrots and celery) twice a day. I've added these for my morning shake. Put it in the Magic Bullet...never taste it!! I've also added a dash of vanilla extract, splenda/equal/sweet & low and lite pancake Syrup.< /p>

I prefer EAS advantage (advantage because its lower cals than regular EAS) - my fav flavor is choc fudge.

I find Walmart has these for the cheapest I've found.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
