I have tried a few different kinds. I tried the chocolate and rich chocolate Myoplex and they were too rich for me. I was only able to drink them for a few days. This wasn't a shock to me though because I am not a huge chocolate fan. I have also tried Strawberry and Chocolate EAS in the cannister. The strawberry is my favorite. I don't think I could ever get tired of it. I did however go to Walmart over the weekend and came across Body Fortress in a cannister. They were $15 a piece. I purchased strawberry and cookies n creme. I have only tried the cookies and creme and it is pretty good. I did however misread it and on the front is says 52g of Protein with 2 scoops. Ohhh was that way too chalky and strong. Today I used one scoop and had about 10 z of skim milk and it tasted sooo good! So I would have to say Body Fortress cookies and creme and EAS strawberry are my faves...I bought both in cannisters and mix with skim milk or water. PS: EAS was about $21 for the cannister which has 30 servings.

I agree you can see the weight loss in your face. You look younger!

Yay!!! You must be so excited. Please tell us how it goes. My surgery is next week and it seems so far away. GOOOOOD LUCK!!

You ladies are making me crack up. I am a habitual snorter and just snorted thank you very much. I noticed the Dr's were very good looking from the website. Gosh, my surgery is in a week and a half and I have a feeling I am going to be flirting with the Dr's while under Anesthesia!

Thank you Lindsay

Can anyone tell me how much Protein I should have in my pre op shakes? I have been on the pre op diet for four days and I am not sure I am having enough calories/protein. Thanks

I am starting my Pre Op diet today and doing 30 mins on the treadmill. Looks like I am starting on the right day

You are looking at it in the right perspective if you are serious about the tummy tuck and boob job. I had both of those in Mexico 5 years ago and do not regret them for a second. I did however get too comfortable and I gained a lot of weight. After gaining so much weight I am lucky to say that my stomach is still pretty much flat, but I gained in other places. I am not afraid to go to Mexico for this surgery because I had my last surgery done down there. My Dr. was amazing and so was his staff. My parents stayed at the Lucerna and also said they were treated very nice. Being that I always ask for my parents approval and that they are very protective of me, they still were very impressed with my surgery and our stay down there.

I will be staying at the Lucerna until the 20th or 21st. I am very nervous but sooo excited. I am not nervous about the surgery, just coping with the effects after.

Lulee, I would love for us to run into one another. It would be great having a buddy to talk to being that we are getting our surgeries done at the same time! I would love to keep in touch

I totally know where you are coming from. My friends are already telling me they are jealous and I haven't even been banded yet. I will be in 3 weeks though! I just know that your true friends will always be there for you regardless of the surgery and weight loss. Congrats to you on your weight loss!

WOW! You all gave me some amazing feedback! Thank you so much. I will definitely try your recommendations. My surgery is about 3 weeks away but I am going to start my Pre-Op diet Sunday. Thanks again. You are all such a great help!!!

Thank you. I am sooo excited. You are all an inspiration to me. I can't wait to do that for other people too

Hi All, I have my surgery scheduled for March 19 which is about 3 weeks away. I am just curious to what kinds of foods/liquids you would suggest. I am the type of person that will find one thing I love, have it everyday and when I get sick of it, I give up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!

I scheduled my surgery date for March 19. I would love all of the support I can get and to make new friends! I'm super excited. Eeeeek!

Eeeek that is sooo exciting! I am in the process of scheduling my surgery date. You are an inspiration!
