I don't drink regular milk and can only tolerate chocolate milk. Is this safe to have on the full liquid portion of the diet (I start tomorrow). Please let me know your thoughts. I'm already aware of the sugar/carbs concern so just want to know if it's well tolerated. Thank you!

I don't think I would have been able to tolerate it on full liquids. I can't tolerate it now, but I'm pretty sure my body would have been pissed off if I dumped that in my stomach.

I was only allowed 4oz of pure fruit juice during that time because of the sugar irritating the bowels, and the extra calories/carbs.

Like Tiff said, the sugar may upset you more than you want. If I drank more than the allowed 4 oz of juice I was running to the bathroom the first few days. But everyone is different. I would be more concerned with the extra cals so maybe the Silk or low-carb version would be better than plain chocolate milk. I still have a prob with lactose products so I am gonna wait a few more weeks before trying again. But my doc did tell me skim milk only was preferred.

There is also a product called Hoods Low Carb Countdown that has a Sugar Free Chocolate milk. Something like that you could try. You may tolerate, you may not. Everyone is different. I think Kroger carries it in the dairy section.

I actually found I was better with milk then juice or Water. I still have a problem with water. I also hate the taste of milk so I have been putting 1 little squeeze of hershey fat/sugar free Syrup in and it goes down well

I tried it after my 1 week check up and only drank 1/2 a carton. We had to stop on the way home and I lost everything I had in my stomach with diarrhea ....3 weeks out and haven't vomited yet....close just once.

I would go with a chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast instead, it's a better Protein source in my NUT's opinion.

I'd always double check with my own NUT or Doc.

I just found Re-fuel by dairygold, it has 20 g's of Protein, I've only seen it in chocolate, I cant drink a whole one but I use it as part of my meals thru out the day, I still cant eat more than a few tablespoons at a time, (I'm 6 weeks out) and I find it easier to drink something, so it being higher in calories doesn't bother me,

      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.
