new & have questions

I just received insurance approval so things are a little scary. Having bypass next month. Read most of the materials but am confused on the clear protein? Does anyont have any suggestions ?

I had to do the clear liquids for two weeks before surgery. It was hard but I did loose. My starting weight was 323lbs, the day of surgery I was 309lbs. Now am down to 285. I am loosing slow because don't think that I am getting enough protein so I had to do some adjusting. I was drinking protein shakes, at first I was doing the 100 % whey protein from GNC but didn't like it. I did it for a week my last week on it I found a shake called Lean Body by Labrada and loved it. I was also doing Wonton Soup I only drank the broth, I did Wylers chicken Broth, and Chicken Boullin cubes...... Hope this help you.

Here is a youtube message on how one successful WLS patient does it. If you like coffee, it is the best. It tastes like a Starbucks frappuccino. Mind you, the caffeine in this is OK before surgery, but you won't be able to use the hazelnut stuff post surgery for a month or so. I love the EAS 100% Whey Vanilla protein. Even plain with just milk it tastes great. But pre-op on my liquid diet, I combined it with bananas, strawberry yogurt (lite), etc. Be creative. Good luck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWhdd38TKuo
