I love Protein shakes! What kind are you using? A trainer I once had suggested Syntha-6. I've found now that it has probably more sugar than should be, but the chocolate is delicious! With ice and Water. Sometimes I add a banana or sneak some veggies in there and I can't even taste them. Maybe it's time for a new shake?

Sometimes you can get samples from GNC? I'd see if they reccommend any, or if your surgeon has any popular brands?

Try the nectar Protein Shake. I get mine from www.mybariatricoantry.com and they have samples you can try but I love the strawberry mousse and double stuffed cookie. Taste like the real deal and add ice or let it set in freezer delish!!!

      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.
