Cigna approved my lap band surgery Hip Hip Hooray! I am going to meet the surgeon on February 26. I cannot wait :smile:

By the way, I have to be on liquid Protein diet + one lean cuisine meal for 2 weeks then 4 liquids diet (no solid) for the week before surgery.

Any advice on which Protein Drink will not make you hungry that much? What I need to prepare before I see the surgeon and the dietitian?

Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Alisa

I used sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with unflavored Unjury (unjury.com), mixed with skim milk. About 35g or protien and pretty tastey.

Prepare of list of questions that you would like to ask the surgeon.

As far as liquid Protein, follow your doctor's recommendation for this. But if he did not recommend one, I drank the Isopure 40 grams of Protein and NewWhey bullets 42 grams of protein. I like their flavors, but there are people on this forum who do not.

      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.
