I'm here too!! I was in the hospital 4 nights...the pain was pretty bad. I guess because they had to take my band and port out. I'm home and feeling good now! I am sipping Protein Shakes (2 a day) and Water. So far so good!

^ What kind of shakes are you drinking? I need more protein!

What day are you on?? If you are past day 5 I do nectar Protein and add 2 scoops to about 16oz of Water and for just drinking that I get 180 calories and 46grams of Protein. I drink that once a day and then a chocolate Premier Protein Ready to Drink (this one after day 10) which is I think 160 calories and 30 grams protein and there you go 76 grams of protein all done for the day so what ever I get in over those 2 drinks is a bonus!! DO NOT drink those Vials of Protein they are a bad source and a very low form of protein. It is a collagen protein and you do not want to know what they put in that stuff. Hope this helps.

Feeling good! Down 17lbs already! (6lbs of that was pre-op)

Tomorrow is day 7! And Friday will be 2 weeks since I had a bite of real food.

I'm very bored with my liquids and Jello, but hanging in there!

How's everyone feeling?

Just today I went to GNC and bought some Maximum Protein by SEI. I got the chocolate flavor. Mixed it up with about 8 oz of 1% milk and have a glass that is giving me 30 grams of protein. Quite tasty too. I can definitely do that twice a day.

I'm mixing New whey Protein shots with apple juice. (42g of Protein in each shot)

You can pick them up at GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.

On what day did you start mushies? i can't wait!!!

Not a good source of protein those are the vials and they use collegen protein.....NOT GOOD!!!:001_tt1: It is a very low protein....on the protein scale of 0-100 it is at the bottom.....Whey Isolate Protein is like a 98....Please do not buy any more of those. I bought 36 vials from bodybuilding.com and returned all of them....read the lable if anywhere on there says collegen return them.

      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.
