They sold you the shakes, but they are available online - Bariatric Advantage http://www.bariatricadvantage.com there are several flavors to choose from. There was chocolate and vanilla (they were out of strawberry) at my doctor's office. You could drink up to 5 shakes a day. Making the shakes with milk or water, ice optional (helps the thicken it and keep you full longer.) You could also add flavoring (almond, mint went great with chocolate; orange or strawberry go well with the vanilla. I used McCormick.)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372490126340916211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438777039117764335.post-73407789922843183632012-03-30T22:14:38.462-04:002012-03-30T22:14:38.462-04:00Good luck with your interview!Good luck with your interview!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064860942058643790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438777039117764335.post-57560239680917436712012-03-29T17:13:15.053-04:002012-03-29T17:13:15.053-04:00My surgeon requires a two week liquid diet.

But low carb isn't a bad idea.

If you do a pre op diet it certainly won't hurt, but if your Dr doesn't require one then he thinks it isn't necessary.<br /><br />Good luck with your interview!RockBand Barbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858730845183296032noreply@blogger.com
