so I saw my nutritionist today and I'm supposed to start eating a hi protein breakfast and have two protein shakes per day. I may be several months out from surgery still. Has anyone elsehad to do this type of diet a couple months before surgery? Thanks.

Someone posted something similar a while ago. Seemed excessive! Or is it that you are currently too heavy for safe surgery?

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

It's standard for my doctor...they want to shrink the liver as much as possible and see if you capable of following the diet. It does seem a bit excessive since I'm not even scheduled for surgery yet....I still have to have my psych evaluation and endoscopy before submitting to insurance! Now I'm trying to figure out a way to spice up yogurt...I hate the bitter/sour taste but my NUT recommended a low carb brand from Kroger.

I love the Carbmasters Yogurt from Kroger. Banana cream pie and Black Forest Cake are my favorites. You can't go wrong with those and 9 gm of protein!

Thx! Are they sour or more sweet?

To me, they are sweet but not AS sweet as other yogurts. I can't handle Greek yogurt because it is thick and seems way too sweet. This yogurt is just right in that sense.

My insurance and Dr. require a 6 month supervised diet plan, then 2 weeks before surgery will be an all liquid diet. I like fage total yogurt.. it's pretty tart on it's own but I use a few drops of water enhancer to change up the taste and sweeten it up if I am in the mood for something sweeter. Dannon fit and light is good also but some flavors can run high in sugar and carbs.
