Liquid Stage vesus Pure Liquid Stage

I have tried them all the lowest in cal is Advant edge and it has 15 Pro. The reason the Dr. put me on this is because its suger free. I am only allowed 500 to 700 cals a day and this is hard to do with out have the lowest cal count that you can find so that you still get 60 gram protein a day........It is so hard...........I am still not controled yet my mind takes me back to old habits.....

I have been sick the past two days. I haven't had much to eat period. I have tried to eat high protein foods but not any extra protein. I know I should have more but I can barely eat anything right now. I wasn't told how many calories to have in a day so I just try to eat things with little sugar which is very hard. I agree with you.

Goodness! 500-700 cal a day seems like pretty strict a year after surgery! I'm sure your doc knows what he's doing but I'm sure it is hard. It looks like you've come far in the past year so keep up the good work. My doc doesn't want me to count calories and he only has me do 25-30 g of protein a day. But that seems pretty low from what I've read on this board. I just can't wait till I can eat some real food with real protein rather than having to drink it in a shake. I'm only 8 days out and I'm starting to hate drinking anything - especially a protein drink. But I guess I better get used to it and get over it or my hair will fall out!

Hi, I will be banded on the 21st of Aug. and I am excited to get started. My heavest is 348, at Dr. Spivak in Houston, 317.

Where did you find the EAS Advant Edge? I too bought the Slim Fast and will return it.

Ladydi:help:

I just bought some 100% Natural Unflavored Whey Protein. I ordered it from www.vitacost.com. I think it totaled about 16.00 bucks. I was told you can put it with anything and you can't taste it. It has 18 grams of protein per scoop. I hope it works.

First off...good luck w/ surgery. Pretty soon, huh?! That's exciting for you! I get the EAS Advant Edge right from my grocery store and local pharmacy in the "diet" section. You can also order it online from www.eas.com
Of course there are lots of really good products out there, but I like these because I don't have to mix the powder...it's ready to drink and it's nutritionally balanced.

Best wishes for your surgery!!
