I would highly suggest that you run those supplements past your surgeon &/or nutritionist. See how they feel about them. I looked at the shake information and personally I know my nutritionist would have suggested trying something different but yours may feel differently. My instructions were to use a whey or soy isolate. It is the most absorbable form of protein and has a complete amino acid profile. Also my concern is that there is only 10 grams of protein in a serving. If you use that as your primary protein source you may have a problem getting in all your protein.
In regards to the herb and fiber supplements? I would certainly run those past your surgeon.
About pictures? I do have some pre-plastic surgery pictures. My extra skin issue was pretty extensive but you do have to realize that there are a lot of factors that play into it. First of all age, length of time I was obese and the fact that I had 3 pregnancies during my years of obesity. Your situation might be entirely different. If yo do want to see them they are on my profile in the album area. Just look for the album about my plastic surgery journey.
