Hey Nashville

I am new to the boards here for our state. I am waiting anyday now from BCBS to approve my surgery. My surgeon is wanting me to do a three week liquid diet before surgery.

I just wanted to say hello to everyone out there! 

Oh I am thinking of buying the Unjury powder for my Stage 1 & 2 any flavor suggestions???

Unjury is excellent quality. it was given to me in the hospital.....i really like the chicken soup flavor as its so savory and really gives you a break from the choc/vanilla routine. Best of luck to you!

Welcome! Sounds like you will soon me on the Losers bench with us. Congrats!

I like the Syntrax Nectar line of protein powders- but everyone's taste buds are different.

One good tip - don't "overbuy" protein powder. I got burnt out on the flavors that "got me through" the Stage 1 & 2. Plus, after surgery your taste buds change (surprise!) so things you liked before surgery will no longer taste the same.

Good luck and let us know if you need anything!

Thank you!! I was going to stock up on everything now before surgery but I think I will hold off. I don't know how the constant choc/strawberry will get on my nerves. So I may try different things on my list Centenial gave me in my book.

I can't wait for them to call me... I feel like  akid waiting to open a Christmas present. !

Happy Fourth Everyone!

One more thing... my friend Melinda on here (melsreturn) is the "protein queen" when it comes to being knowledgable about bariatic shakes and other products. If you see her on here, she may be able to offer you a few tips. She also has a website with some products she recommends - http://www.recoveringfatty.com

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much!! I will check it out!

Whenever possible go with samples, not whole containers at first!   Erika
