Hey Kathy! Try the Oh32 from The Vitiman Shoppe there on Cooper, they have them pre-mixed. Are you still on the shake? For how much longer? After the 23 of this month I have to stop drinking them. Since I will be on full foods at that point. Good Luck. We need to plan lunch some time. I think Jason's by the mall would be good! ~ Mis

I am in the same boat. I was gagging on all the Protein Drinks. Someone suggested that I get a few of the extracts to add different flavor so I got some vanilla, cherry, almond and banana. They are really helping me. Today I made a shake with vanilla Unjury, vanilla yogurt, a tiny bit of cherry extract and some skim milk and it was delicious! I bought some Syntrax Nectar in the caribbean cooler flavor and added sugar free pineapple juice to it and it's pretty good too. Also, someone suggested drinking them in "sippy" type cups (travel coffee mug) so you can't smell it and it makes a HUGE difference for me.

I hope some of this helps. I was just banded on the 14th so I'm learning as I go along just like you.

I couldn't do the Protein Drinks at all - not even the carnation stuff. so somone told me to drink extra milk (more calories) but i get in my Protein then - i use skim plus milke and good old fashioned Quick - gets me 11grams protein each glass 4 a day does the trick!

Not for everyone but it worked for me.

I made a mushy tuna casserole tonight. I used egg noodles, tuna, peas, low-fat cheese etc. If you like these things it's not that hard to make and freezes well. Let me know if you want my recipe and I'll send to you.

      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?
