yeah. I'm having NO problem sucking down large amounts of liquids. And I am now "liquids out" to prove it. Immodium is my new best friend.

Guess I am still bloaty and stuff because I am only down like 2 lbs from my pre surgery weight. Annoying, but I know weight loss is not really the main focus right now.

Am now having trouble getting Protein in because my tastes have changed and Isopure is no longer tolerable. And the New Whey Protein bullets ....ACK. That stuff is like syrup!!!! I gagged. I don't know what else to try. I had a sample packet of unjury chicken broth. I didn't think I had the Water too warm, but it turned into a solid and had to go down the disposal. URK.

I am out of protein options. I'll have to go to the GNC tomorrow to see if they have anything else I can try.

Any suggestions?

I've been using the Body Fortress Super whey Protein shots from Walmart. They are a little thick, but only 2.9oz and the 2.9oz are worth not feeling like I did on Thursday and almost passing out in the shower.

They aren't super sweet, so that is why I can tolorate them. I wouldn't call them Syrup, more like melted Jello to me.

I'm MAKING myself do one for Breakfast, lunch and dinner for a total of 78g of Protein. It really hasn't been THAT bad, it just isn't as pleasant as other things I would prefer.....but I can do anything for 2.9oz.

What if you mixed yoru protein shot with some crystal light or something similar? It would help with the thickness.

I can't wait to start full liquids!

      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.
