Bariatric Shakes and Food

Hi Everyone!

Where are you buying your bariatric shakes and/or pre and post op food?

I buy whey isolate shakes from Popeye`s as you can return or exchange, even if opened, if you do not like the flavour.  I buy soy protein powder from Lifestyles Health Food store; cheaper there.  It is a good one to buy to mix into foods as it is unflavoured.  Makes good Muffin in a Mug, or pancakes.....  A mug in a muffin is....grease a coffee mug (spray works), drop in 1 egg, 1 scoop soy protein powder (whey powder doesn`t cook well), some flavoring  - vanilla extract, raisins, sweetner and a tiny amount of baking powder.  Stir together and nuke in the micro for about 60 seconds.  Tip out and enjoy.  All protein and no guilt.  Add variations..cinnamon, dates.....whatever you desire.

I was just given my pre-op diet plan as a `heads up.` I still don`t have a surgery date, but I was told to expect within 3-4 months. Me, being the neurotic cheapskate I am, have started to research the best prices on the shakes. So far the best I have come up with is go to the Glucerna website and sign up for their coupons, and then use them at Wal-Mart which has the best per unit price around.
