I just found out that I will be using Slim Time shakes for pre and post op diet.

Is anyone familiar with this brand? I see they have chocolate and vanilla shakes.

That is what my doctor prescribed. They also have Peanut Butter bars which are not bad at all. 4 per day.

Hi I used slim time and had no problem with them. I got the vanilla and then you can mix your own flavoring in.

Dr. Coburn is my doctor too. He's great. I have had zero problems.

My surgery went great. I healed in like 10 days. and I'm having great success as of five weeks post op. I have very little hunger, eat my small meals and I'm done. I don't think about food or crave food or feel like snacking at all. I have not had bread, Pasta, rice, for over 7 weeks and don't miss it. Once I have my Protein 3 to 4 ounces and some veggies, I'm feeling very satisfied and there is no room for the startch. and believe me, I used to live on carbs. But no more, I'm amazed every day that this is me, eating sensibly and not feeling like I'm starving or hungry or about to fall off the wagon and binge. You'll do great...Dr Coburn understands us and just follow all of his instrucions and you'll do fine. I go in for my first fill on Sept 14th. I probably won't need much as I already have a bit of restriction.

Good luck.

thanks for the replies!

I have decided to go with the vanilla and use my own flavourings - thanks ddrobins!

I am allergic to caffeine and so to many chocolate shakes just might do me in..lol

      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.
