​I also buy Body Fortress, in chocolate only. I add some Decaf instant coffee and some peppermint extract with the milk and tons of ice and make a thick shake. I have one every day for Breakfast and love them. The coffee and peppermint kills the medicine taste from the shake

My dietitian told me to buy Cliff Protein bars, 20g of Protein. I love the chocolate mint ones. (Yes I love chocolate and mint). I keep the bars cold

For protein how about ground beef? Like meatballs with Tomato sauce or sweet and sour meatballs. For the sweet and sour I use low sugar grape jelly and equal part of chili sauce. Put them into a pot and heat until they come to a boil. Make your meatballs (or turkey, chicken etc.) put into the pot and turn on low for about 1 hour. They are great. I usually have 3-4 per serving depending on the size I make. They freeze well, too.

Thanks Carolinagirl! Can I get that brand on Amazon? I live in Germany right now and choices are slim. Great idea on meatballs, Dylan! I will definitely try that!

I had trouble getting them in as well. I found Syntrax Nectar works great. They have all sorts of flavors and the fruit ones taste just like Crystal Light. It's a lot of trial and error before you find something that makes it easy to get down.

      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.
