I tell you I'm getting pretty nervous but anxious. I was wondering how to take the Protein on the plane. Anyone have suggestions?

I was sleeved by Dr. Kelly and I brought Protein packets that I purchased from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. Ironically it turned out that I didn't need them. When you are getting sleeved by Dr. Kelly you can't have Protein until your tenth day PostOp. Find out from your doctor if you will need them.

Today is my 10th day so I am starting with the protein.

No Protein until day 10? That's strange. Not even Isopure? Does he just want you to focus on Water?

Clear Liquids. I think it designed to give the stomach time to heal.

I was sleeved by Dr Kelly and I started on Protein as soon as I got home. Do not worry about it the first few days! When I got home I would make the unjury chicken broth (21 gr pro) a couple of times a day instead of regular chicken broth. I really think it helped me avoid that weak,light headed feeling. I also mixed the unflavored into crystal light to sip on during the day. Both are still clear liquids.

Thanks for posting that DDFinn. I was wondering about that! I didn't want Mrsteacher to miss out on Protein if she could get it in...

Weird. I wasn't feeling light headed at all without the Protein. I am getting it in at least 3x a day now (morning, lunch, dinner). Looking forward to the mushy stage at day 20.

      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.
