At this stage of the game, I would go around to the different sites and get sample packs of different flavors. Don't use them til after surgery, cause what tastes good now, may taste like mud later.
unjury.com & chikenutrition.com offer free samples
Nasua Nutrition has samples you can buy in multiple flavors from popular brands: http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/index.php?target=produc ts&product_id=436
bariatricfusion.com has samples you can purchase in all their flavors, as does bariatriceating.com and bariatricadvantage.com
You may want to find an "unflavored" that's tolerable to mix with soups etc cause, sometimes a shake is just tooooo much, especially right after surgery.

I like my Bariatric Fusion vitamins. You chew 4 a day for RNY patients 2 a day for LapBand patients. They're available online at bariatricfusion.com . I use the orange cream flavor. Tastes something like a pushup popsicle. $25.99/month for RNY patients and it has EVERYTHING in it you need. 1 bottle, so you're not toting around a pharmacy.
They also carry protein powders. While I'm not a fan of their protein, their shaker cup is cute, and a good size for a newbie post op.

Isopure, I have only seen at GNC. However, I think you can get it on Amazon. Personally, since surgery, all RTD's have made me ILL.
See your surgery is today. Good Luck!!

If you decide to keep your band too tight, you should be drinking protein shakes. Purging can cause your band to slip, not to mention cause issues with ulcers in the esophagus. If you find yourself doing this often, you should def get your dr to losen your band.
I, myself, would have it losened and go back to the recomended weight loss with the band.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!
