My day is the 14th. Im going to day for my pre op appt and to meet my surgeon. I started trying some Protein shakes to see which one I would like. So far the Isopure is good. I have been adding some sweet and low and fruit to it and taste alot better. So where are you ladies ?

The best Protein shake in my opinion is "Muscle Milk Lite" it's only 100 calories no sugar lactose free. I've been drinking them for 2yrs & now at work I have at least 12 people hooked on them. You can buy @ Sam's Club by the case. Also they were recommended by my Doctor. Good Luck & much success

I tried the muscle milk light chocolate and like it a lot. I got it at costco. For $4 more than I paid, Amazon will automatically ship to my house and I can cancel at any time.

My surgery is not until De. 19 and I feel like I am getting more and more nervous with this waiting time.

At first it was earlier in the month, and my nut said even though THanksgiving fell during my liquid diet, I could have a small piece of turkey and vegetables (if not in loads of cheese or butter) during the family meal. But I know, all drs and nut give different advice, but maybe you can ask about this, especially if you are not going public with your lap band and you are on the liquid diet on Thanksgiving.

That's funny that you both like the muscle milk, I could barely get it down! I did however order syntax double stuffed cookie and that was great. I also tried the EAS strawberry and that was really good! I'm happy for you both and wish you much success. Good luck tomorrow!

I'm new to this site, but I guess I will be joining you all getting banded in December. Going for my pre-op testing today. Then I have to schedule to meet with surgeon. Then we will schedule surgery day! I'm excited, overwhelmed and relieved. Can't believe this is happening.

      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.
