Hi everyone......New to the group and my surgery is scheduled for March 21st. Just had my pre-surgery endoscopy today which went well so now I just have to do a count down for the next 21 days. I'm very excited and just a little anxious I guess. Have my nutritional education course set up for next Monday which will also be the start of my two week Liquid Protein diet. I've already been doing it now about 2x a day to get in the mode and it's not bad at all. I find out i'm much less hungry during the days that I am taking the Protein Shakes so that is good. Any other Protein liquid ideas for those two weeks would be appreciated. Thanks Andrea

I had the surgery 5 days ago. So far, so good. I have been using the Bariatric Advantage Protein supplement that I get from my doctor. Disgusting, made me gag. I've tried a few different recipes, but my favorite so far is, 10 oz of brewed Decaf coffee, 1 oz of skim milk, 1 tbsp of sugar free choco Syrup, 2 scoops of Protein, and ice. Mix it up, and it's not too bad. At least I can get it down.

I wish you luck, and if you have any questions, let me know. I can try to help.

      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.
