I'm getting banded May 30' date=' and my surgeon requires a two-week liquid diet pre-surgery. I was required to purchase shakes from his office (225!) - they are called "Bariatric Advantage" - there is a whole line of shakes, Vitamins, etc. Okay, so ... the shakes are really, really gross. I've had two so far, and I threw up part of the second one because it was so nasty. The texture is awful ... like slime.

So my question is - I see a lot of people talking on her about different kinds of shakes, and I'm wondering why my surgeon required this particular brand. Is anyone else on this kind?[/quote']

I had my surgery a little over a year ago and the Protein I have ever had I got at Sam's club. It has 30 grams of Protein per shake and only has about 160 calories. It is made by premier and is sooo good!!!! I have tried soooo many brands and by far this is the best. It is about $18 for 12 containers!!!! My doctor wanted me to go with that brand because they make a ton of profit but it was awful!!!!!!!

      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.
