2 more checks needed

I had all my needle poking tests yesterday (so glad that's over), and only have my physch and nutrition consult left on monday. Then its 2 weeks away until my Jan 29th surgery. Im excited and nervous at the same time. Im just hoping I can get all the protein in. Reminder-Im having LapBand. My arm still hurts from the ABGs. The docs/technicians yesterday said everything was normal. Im just anxiously waiting. I also have been drinking isopure protein drink and it kind of taste weird. does anyone know if we are still able to drink the AES protein shakes post op? I have been drinking them pre op, I actually love them. Well just updating you all on my progress. Im sure i will be posting the friday before surgery as my stomach starts turning. ~anxiouslt awaiting moni

Best of luck your making the right choice for you. And this board will help you with any questions you may have. Speedy recovery after your surgery.

Hi Moni.... the day will be here before you know it! I think ISOPURE has a weird taste too - yuk - too sweet! I do not know about the AES Protein shake - have you checked the sugar content? - that may help you decide. Jackie

Oh Monica, you are going to do a fantastic job...I remember the excitement so well. It is well worth the journey and you will be happy with the results. Good luck and keep us updated.....Hugs, Betsy

Hi Moni! If you are talking about EAS Myoplex, there is a Lite version which works great. I haven't tasted the regular version so I am not sure how they compare but the lite (and the carb control) are both pretty decent. Good luck Christine
