Was approved and going to be banded September 24th. Excited but scared also. Have question regarding pre op diet and was told to get low carb Protein Drink. They want 7 or less grams of carbs and less than 5 sugar. I found a Protein mix called Optimum Nution by whey. Any suggestions if this any good and if so what flavor? Tried the EAS Myoplex Lite and it was pretty good.:thumbup:

Hi momamia. I don't have any experience with that particular brand. It seemed to me that the higher the Protein content of the drinks, the better it managed my hunger. Good luck!

Hi, my doctor recommends Carnation Instant Breakfast...No Sugar Added mixed with skim milk. It's high in Protein and comes in chocolate, strawberry and French vanilla.< /p>

I've had whey before. Delicious! :blink: Sometimes I even drink it when I'm not on a liquid diet. vanilla was/is my favorite. My only complaint is that right after the surgery, I could taste every single particle of that drink. Before was fine, and a few months after was good, too. Just, for me, my tastes were hightened immediately after surgery.

Good luck!

      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.
