Hi everyone

I just had my appt with the nutritionist & said it would take 4-6 wks for insurance approval. My question to all is what kind of shakes & liquids that worked for u? I wanted to try a few before i start my pre/post diet. That way i can feel comfortable with what I'm drinking & have a comfortable hear start....

Thank u....

Yes very more expensive. A fellow banded got me stuck on choc cream ready to make small bottles off eBay. Much cheaper, add Water to the container and you have ready to drink. About 1.20 each when purchased a lot of them. Also where is everyone finding sugar free choc Syrup? I looked Walmart, no go....

How many shakes do you have to drink after surgery? Or when you are on solids? I found something I Like for now but its only 15 grams of Protein for 1 glass. 100 calories. It's a Jillan Michael's one

My nutritionist said I should be aiming for 20-30 grams of Protein, 3 or less grams of fat, and less than 5 grams of sugar per serving. I searched everywhere for protein that fit this requirment, and Walmart out of all places had some of the best and well priced protein for what my needs will be.

The Bariatric Advantage shakes are very thick and gross imo. I LOVE Proto whey by BNRG Double chocolate is delicious, best Protein Drink I've ever tasted! I also like the ready to drink shakes EAS Myoplex Light in French vanilla.< /p>

      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.
