okay as far as shakes go I guess. I am the type of person that couldn't do the slim shake diet because I couldn't stand the taste of the chalky shakes. lol but these really aren't too bad. they are thick. I am just glad that i get to mix them with skim milk instead of Water. I have the chocolate and strawberry. So far only tried the chocolate.

Hey all, Congrats on your surgery date. I get banded Aug 31. I start my liquid diet on the 24th and I'm nervous about that. Tomorrow I have my pre-op class to tell me what to eat before and after the surgery. I'm so excited but scared. Good luck to everyone being banded soon.:lol:

I have been on my diet since the 10th. I started a little early. My b day was on the 12th and I knew that the 12th would be a bad day to start so I just went for it on the 10th. and you?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
