Thank u! Thought it's time to change it. Lol. I'm so glad that you're doing so well. Was sooo happy to finally hear from you. I think I was more nervous than anyone. I'm a freak like that.

So that's a no. Premier is the most recommended RTD shake on this site. I love it with a splash of torani sf raspberry syrup and it has 30g carbs. Some ppl, like me, aren't allowed Greek yogurt on their preop. But I'll definitely give it a try after I'm cleared to. I've tried unjury, about time, new direction, bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. The only one that didn't make me gag or make me sick was about time. It has like 5 ingredients and you can pronounce every one. Uses stevia as a sweetener.

Oh hell no. No way. I could not do it. I'm getting light-headed just thinking about it.

Lol. I call that "hangry". Hungry+angry= hangry

Have u tried premier? I found them the most palatable of all I've tried

I hope everything goes well. It's a very difficult diet. My son brought home a little Caesars pizza and crazy bread. But I didn't partake Bc I'm needing to know I have control over my eating habits. Me. In control. Sweety, please, please, please get back on track tomorrow. We are here for you and I know it's hard but this is go time. We are in the end zone here.

I get mine from SAMs in Sherman tx I know SAMs and costco carry them.

Too bad we aren't at the same hospital. We could race around the floor trying not to tangle our IV's. Why do they want us 2 and a half hours early. Bad as catching a dang plane.

You can thin it with a little almond milk or branch out n try different types and textures. It's definitely hit or miss with them.

Gotta try different types. My favorite are premier chocolate. Yum

Hey there!!! Yeah I'm really excited, but dang am I wiped out. It's like this lack of calories just caught up with me today. No energy at all. I was a bit disappointed. I was told to call today between 2-5 and they would tell me when to be at the hospital for surgery Tuesday. Nope. I have to call Monday. So I won't know what time til Monday afternoon. Also, this pre-op diet stinks. Just getting that out there. In case nobody knew. Lol I can't see the moon for the clouds, but maybe they'll part for me.

Jeez I'm blind!!! U said 24 pack. Ok ok. I'm on the same page as u now.

My 12 pack is $19.88 of premier. Yours is almost double that

Me too! You're the leader of our pack!! Lol I'm happy as heck to see you on here. Now you're gonna have to let us know how things go once you get home, sista

I actually got a full 4 hrs strait with it on last night, which is rare. Mine has a memory card instead of a modem and they check it every 90 days. I'm hoping to get some rest and wake up refreshed tomorrow Bc I've got a whole apartment to pack up. Moving around the first of March. We can do it, it just isn't easy.

Thanks Jen. I know. I just didn't want to place myself in a position to be overcome with the food around me. But I'll be ok. It does totally suck balls though

Omg. Days 1-3 were killer. I wasn't a soda or coffee drinker but I was a carb freak. I must've been getting all the carbs n sugar out of my system Bc it felt like my head was in a vice. April

You did not go through everything you have to weaken now. You're stronger than this pre-op diet. I've read your journey as you posted. You got this.

That's a lot more than I pay so I'll probably pass, but it sounds divine

Shaylove, go read the encouragement needed thread. Yes, you can do this. I'm on day 11 and haven't snapped and roasted my dog for dinner yet. If I can do this so can you

There's a strawberry?!?!?! Woohoo!!!!!!!

Day 11 for me. First, put the candy away. If it's your kid's have them put it away. I'm gonna tell you what they said to me about pre-op diets. It's not just about shrinking your liver. It's about whether or not you can even be compliant. They may not know if you cheat. But YOU'LL know. You'll know whether or not you are ready for this type of change. After surgery is easier with true hunger. But you'll have to have your head on straight to fight head hunger. This is a way to see if you can do it. And you know what, you can. This is hard. It sucks. I'm tired. I'm hangry (hungry+Angry= hangry) but I'm not going to fail this and neither are you. This is your restart. You actually get to reset your metabolism and it's a one-time opportunity. Guzzle Water, eat sf Jello, eat sf pudding. Chew on a staw if you need to chew something, but do not let food beat you.

I'm drinking a TON of water and it doesn't help me. I have to take 2 stool softeners a day and I MIGHT, if I'm lucky, go.

Jeez girl, sorry it's been rough for you. Hang in there. I was actually thinking about you last night wondering how u were doing

Day 11 of my pre-op diet I'm really tired. I don't feel like I'm gonna roast my dog and eat her anymore or anything and the hunger is still gone but I still feel "empty". I guess I was used to always feeling full Bc I was such a volume eater. I am a bit concerned Bc the scale went down the first 3 days and that's it. But I'm following my plan so it is what it is. Of course on day 13, which is Sunday, I'll be around all kinds of food which sucks. We always have a "The Walking Dead" watch party at my sister's on Sundays and there will be a lot of food. I'm gonna take my lil puddin cup and some protein powder and some soup I guess. Maybe a shake. Ugh. April
