Hello to all,

I am drinking Bolthouse Farms Protein Drinks. These are the only ones I can keep down most at 19 grams of Protein a bottle to 30 a bottle. The bottles are 15.2 fl.oz. Please let me know if anyone has used these and what you think of them. If you know of any others that are nice tasting please let me know. I do not like sweet tasting drinks as in over sweet.

Thank you all.

Mary

Hi Mary: I am using Muscle Milk Light (Chocolate). I mix it with 1/2 cup of ice and it is not too bad tasting and not too sweet. Have also tried Carnation Inst. BF just for a change and that tastes better to me. Its 15 G of Protein when mixed with fat free milk and very low fat content.

Tomorrow our day bf surgery......we can't have any of these drinks correct???? Only Clear Liquids. Let me know what you have been told.

Good Luck on this journey we are sharing together.......I hope it goes well for both of us with no complications. I will look for you at Syosset Hopital if I am feeling up to it. Don't really know what to expect. May God watch over us both in trying to change our lives for the better.

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure so I'm going to stick to clear's like Water coffee Soup Jello and look over my paper work on what to eat. I have been told nothing after 11pm not even water. Think I will get up early and then go to sleep around 10pm.

Did they tell you to make sure that you wash your belly button out funny but true. I too will out for you. As I am on a CPAP machine they will keep me over night. Most of the Dr's G's patient's were told that they would stay over night. Not all of us were on a CPAP machine.

May god watch over you as well my friend.

Thanks Mary: Yes they told me about the Belly button. I am using alcohol & a Q-tip. I guess its close to where they are going? I have to stay overnight as well even though I do not have a CPAP machine. I think all his patients stay over. I guess its a good thing so we can be monitored. Make it come quick now. Tomorrow should be a tough one to get thru. Good Luck again ! We need all we can get at this point.

      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.
