Want to talk to recent Roux-en-Y patients....

You all have truly been a Godsend.  This website is going to allow me to stay connected with some wonderful people who are traveling this same journey.  Thanks so much for being here....your feedback is helping me feel stronger and stronger as my surgery date approaches on 1/26/09. 

Liquid diet is going well other than I want coffee.  If that's my hardest craving during this time period, I'm fortunate!

I'm interested in finding out more about the protein bullets that was mentioned previously....can you give me some more info.????  Have any of you  heard about the pre-packaged daily doses of vitamins from "Prism"????

I'm still waiting on my order to come from Bariatric Advantage....I've been taking samples so far from them.  I think the chewable coud get old....I'm not into "sweets" so I tolerate the tabs.  The protein drinks I've been drinking is the Isopure Dutch Chocolate Powder from GNC and it's been fine.  I am mixing 1 scoop (25 gms. of protein) with 1/2 cup ice cold water and ice and mix it in my Magic Bullet.  I think if I find crushed ice it might be a little easier....not all the cubes chop.

thank for the feedback.

Hi there.  I tell you I am not the one to ask about protein bullets because I really don't like them...I prefer the powder.  I use syntrax nectars .  I know that is just a personal thing because a lot of people like them.  I got some from a couple of different places to try.  http://www.vitalady.com/   has samples of the powder but also I tried IDS New Whey Liquid.  I also found one at walmart in the health and beauty section.   I know they also have the bullets at GNC  and isopure liquid.  I also ordered some bullets on the Bariatric Advantage site under liquid protein.  They sell samplers with different flavors.  I know some people like to mix it with crystal lite...maybe I should give them a try again   I use the Calcium Citrate from Twinlab it  tastes like oranges sorta and the B complex from solaray ... I know what you mean they were yucky at first but I think I am used to it now.  I am taking flinstones chewable multivitamin for now and I will change according to my docs plan after 4 months to centrum or the bariatric advantage one.   I haven't heard of the Prism vitamins but I am going to look into it...

I have been using Chocolate truffle Nectar Sweets and putting a little cinnamon in it yummy.  I also have the Vanilla Torte and do the same with it.  I was thinking the same thing about the crushed ice...  
I hope this helped
