Oh crap, I knew you were going to say that. I was hoping the other way. Darn....then I'm only on day 7 and not day 8.

Ahhh, the infamous blue juice. Yes, I remember it well thanks to this lovely picture my hubby felt the need to take:

Here I thought it was crystal lite. I had no clue it was apple juice.< /strong>

The only contraversay I've heard about the Body Fortress whey Protein Shots is there was a re-call on them. They thought the lids had been tampered with. I've heard nothing more and they wouldn'be be on the shelf if that hadn't been resolved.

How are you feeling today? I've been drinking the Syntrax Nectar, fuzzy navel. It's not bad. Everything taste so sweet. As for the pills, I've been crushing mine too and the nutritionalist said it was okay to mix it with like a tsp of SF Hershey's Syrup. That's made a world of difference. One of my meds seriously tasted like i was licking a piece of coal.

I'm feeling much better, thanks. I'm 9 days post-op and down 8 pounds since surgery.

I find I miss having solid food around 5:00 PM, or as we're getting towards dinner. Having a cup of chicken broth for dinner just doesn't cut it, but that's OK cause it's just temporary. My wounds are healing up, and clothes are getting looser. All good things. I can swallow better, take small pills without discomfort, all signs of progress. Since I'm in the "honeymoon" phase of this surgery, everyday is a day I look forward to the scale and seeing what I've been able to lose. Life is good!:lol0:

      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.
