Congratulations on finally getting a date, it'll be worth it in the end. please keep us posted on your incredible journey. Good luck. Maryellen

Congratulations on your date. As far as protien drinks go, if you ask 20 people you will probably get 20 different answers and like the previous poster (David, i believe) said, your tastes will probably change after surgery. There are places on the net(bariatriceating.com is one) that you can order samples of different kinds to try. Have also been told that GNC will take back something if you try it and don't like it as long as you have the receipt. Please keep us updated on how yopu are doing, again congrats. Maryellen

Congrats Sharmie, I got my date yesterday (3-15) and I understand those emotions. I got myself all fired up yesterday....but then the reality sunk in about what was going to happen. This should be one interesting ride. Keep in touch here. You can get lots of good information. Way to go on getting the date. The rest is easy! Take care, Dave

Howdy Ed.... Congrats on the date. Boy that is right around the corner! Apparently what is "good" is seriously subjective. I have also heard that tastes can change dramatically after surgery. My Nutritionalist suggested getting a tasteless or very bland Protein powder. That way you can mix it with things until you get a drink you can tolerate. Well...just my 2 cents. Best of luck and let us know how it goes. Dave

MARCH 19th! Finally! After 4 denials and a postponement in Jan., insurance finally approved benefits and the date has been set.
