      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

these are good for before and after surgery I believe.

Best wishes for your surgery,

one yogurt

crystal light about 1/2 cup  more liquid thinier the shake..

one scoop protein powder I use the walmart brand

one piece of fruit  (optional)

ice  More ice thicker, less ice thiner


this is a great shake that is adaptable as you progress, if you need it thiner add more crystal light and/or less ice.... in the summer I make it thick it is like a treat...

sometimes I will put orange juice in it instead of crystal light... sometimes I need the oj as my sugar will drop but I have to be careful with oj as it will also tricker my sugar to drop.. 

You can make this any flavor or combination of flavors you want. plain vanilla.  strawberry, bannana, orange.  it is up to the yogurt and flavoring of crystal light.

good luck,

 If you like chocolate here's a good tasting one. Walmart whey chocolate protein powder mixed with a can of slim fast low carb chocolate drink and a packet of chocolate carnation instant breakfast. I add a packet of splenda or equal and sometimes half a banana. I put it all in the blender. It's really yummy, and it's about 44g of protein.

 I like the EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control in the 11 oz chocolate.  Sam's Club sells it by the case.  A lot of places carry the four packs.

I also mix a natural flavor protein powder or a vanilla flavored one with either orange Tang or Crystal Light  to give myself an orange protein drink.  Yum!

 Just remember, what you like pre-op you may mot like post-op.  I know pre-op, I was told to get protein powders that have nutrition, not just protein.

Pre-op, I really liked Muscle Milk Light.  After surgery, I didn't really like it.
