Since being sleeved 1/26/11 I have had to taste the worst things I have ever had to in my life. Between the Vitamins, liquid lortab, liquid carfate, Protein powders and now I got a "shot" of Liquid Protein that tastes like dirty socks. This must be a form of punishment for tasting everything good I had before surgery. Feeling like I am going to have hair grow on my chest from it all!!!!!!!

I have no idea what the heck your doctor is having you take but all I took was some Flintstones chewables. As for the "shots" mix ONE ounce at a time with diet Decaf tea or lemonade (about 3 oz). It cuts the taste and makes it easier. As the old saying goes....NO pain NO gain. I am 4 weeks out and have lost 42 pounds!!!! The gross crap is temporary and worth a good jump start to your weight loss. Good Luck!

      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.
