hey everyone. I'm sure this has been posted before but cant seem to find a blog on it. i start my pre-op diet on the 6th of October. i would like to know what Protein (powders) shakes are good to buy. i know everyones taste buds are different but i don't want to wast my money on junk! i have to have two shakes a day with 500 cals. of dinner and Snacks if needed. the Protein Shakes ( or whatever i can mix it in) have to be 30 grams each then after surgery it goes to 3 90 gram shakes a day. any help would be great. my surgeons office says they like to use Body Fortress. Anyone try this brand is it pretty good?

thanks

Karen

Sorry so late chiming in, just joined the forum. I've been on pre-op since Sept. 15, 2009. I have found the Lean Body ready to go shakes very tasty and Protein Drinks go and very satisfying. They come in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana. They provide 40g Protein, 0 sugar and loads of Vitamins. They are a little more expensive than others but I think they are worth it. I obtain my supply from GNC. Good luck on your pre-opp and banding. I scheduled for surgery tomorrow 10/1/2009.

      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.
