I'm getting my band on the 20th as well. I survived my first day of Protein Shakes but omg do I crave real food sooo bad!!! And what sucks more is that I got my letter saying I passed my NCLEX test to become a nurse and I can't really go out and Celebrate because I can't eat or drink....I can dance tho! Lol but yea... The shakes are killin me! Anyone have any tips for the vanilla flavor? How to make it more appealing?

If you can have Decaf coffee and like iced coffee make a drink of half cold coffee and half vanilla shake with some ice. It's been my saving grace!

Good luck!

      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?

      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.
