Hi,

Congratulations on getting back to good health!  I know it is a little nerve wracking.  You are in good hands.  Do you have someone going with you?  We are here to encourage you throughout your journey!  Do you have an opportunity to attend Dr. Rutledge's video conferences on Tuesdays?  That would be a good thing.  I posted the link on this board earlier.


The protein I use and like is Unjury (www.unjury.com).  It is a fine powder that mixes well.  They have a variety of flavors and unflavored as well.  I have met with the creator of this product and they are passionate about what they do.  The cost is under $20 for a container.

Keep in touch!!

i was on the pre op diet about 10 days, yes veryreal. im not sure on the walmart drinks. i use oh yeah , and protien mix from the vitamin store.  good luck.

Hi , I am leaving on March 4th for my MGB with Dr. Pompa The clinic has sent me a preop diet that includes a protien supplement. Does anyone have suggestion on which one is better ie: taste,mixability , cost ? Thanks ! Also I am getting a case of the nerves ..any suggestions ?

wow lil that is great, dr. pompa and lopez, you will do great. i took a lap top with me , but it was a total waiste of time. it was a pain to lug around and i never was able to hook it up. a good book, magazines etc.. slippers robe. (optional) , body soap tooth brush hair brush,  and maybe 2 sets of loose clothes to wear. like sweat pants, they have tv with lots of channels and you wont want to do much more than walk and then watch a little tv and sleep. you can call 361-537-1250 any time , if you want to. oh dont use your cell phone in tj. it will cost you alot of money. 20 mins. costed me over 300.00. the clinic will let you use the phone in your room for free, so do that. you also want need an conversion plugs in tj it is the same as the usa. good luck keep me uptodate if you like. WIll   ;-D
