The powder is 20 grams and the pre made is 17. It's EAS edge carb control. My doc did not give us a total in a day we needed. Just liquid and to do 4 a day.

Yep, no special pre op here. Just liquid diet for 14 days. Any kind if Protein shake, sf Jello, broth , any type of low or zero cal drink. At what you paid I won't complain. Lol. What I paid if for 2 of us!!!! What will you do post op? Can u choose a Protein Drink of ur choice then?

Btw, the ESA carb control was yummy. Had zero grit or after taste. Think it will be my best friend.

Ready to change my life!

      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.
