each hospital is different, but at the RVH i had a blood draw, xray, ECG, meet with general doctor, bariatric nurse, anesthesiologist. The pre-op office books the appointment and they run you through them all in one day. they are to judge your general fitness for surgery and i think the results are good for a month or more before surgery date.
Id like to know what are the pre-op exams one must have, ive had an apnea and breathing exam, a gastroscopie and I went to take the nutrition course bringing a 4 days of my current diete... are those the pre-op exams? or not? thanks
I will certainly use em once the time comes, amd even now.
160 calories, 30 grams of protein, I thinks that's great too. For me, they taste like chocolate milk.
Take care.
Thanks again

160 cals for 30g protein is very good. you will find most powders are 125 cals for 30g protein, but they would not taste proper or blend well into a volume the size of a premiere protein. Plus consider that most people mix their protein powders into milk for 80 cals more or almond milk for 30g more ... premiere protein RTD is jsut about as good as you are going to get.
general rule of thumb for anything you get is 100 calories for 10g of protein. these are way above that. I just got my first case today! hoping to give them a try tomorrow. so many people recommend them, must be ok!
Here is a link to threads that discuss this issue. We hope you find this helpful.
Best wishes.
Hello All :)
So I am about 10 weeks post-op Roux-en-Y. I am down 90 lbs as of this morning. Obviously I am super happy about the loss but I am dealing with MAJOR nausea. Some days I can`t even lift my head. I have no appetite whatsoever and basically am forcing myself to eat whenever I can bare it. I had returned to work just to have been taken out again. I had y surgery with Dr. Christou and they have been great giving me advice on things to try but NOTHING is working. Has anyone else experienced this. Any idea when I can expect it to calm down a bit
My pre-op diet was really not bad but I had to had more water and ice and this was good
The first days of the surgery was rough but I mad it thru and so happy. Since the beginning of the diet I have lost 30lbs and very happy even if I don't really see a difference.
This morning I have ate 1/2 egg and 1/2 a toast but I have a craving for a peach, they are soo good can't wait to eat 1 again
Thank you!
Hey Everyone:
T'is Moi - still waiting by the phone BUT continuously researching stuff. :-) 
A girl at my work came in the other day with this ready to go chocolate shake from Costco - 30 grams of protein 160 calories (premier protein) . She let me try a bit and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. I thought these would be great for after surgery because they are quick and easy - especially when getting back to work.
Has anybody used them or are they not recommended due to the amount of calories in them? I thought 160 was realistic since it could also be occasionally consumed as a meal (breakfast or lunch) replacement . Can these be taken early on in the post op diet stages?
Let me know your thoughts. Everyone's diet progression is different and I am always eager to read about what people ate at different stages after surgery.
Thanks so much everybody. Love hearing your suggestions.
Kellie 
soon I hope!!!
