Next Week Sleevers ? Or Anyone Whom Are Upcoming April Sleevers?

Hmmm, my doctor did not specify the type of Protein that I have to have. Most of them are whey Protein but the shots have whey, casein and collagen protein. I have a hard time getting in all of my protein so I'll keep using them as a standby. I had my 1 week follow up visit with the doctor and mentioned those Protein Shots, he didn't say anything. I'm finding there is a LOT of variance in what doctors require. A girl that had surgery a day after me, different doctor, was allowed to move on to pureed foods after 1 week. I was not so lucky. I'm winding down week two and can not wait until I can move on. It seems like forever since I have had any "real" food (pureed or not).

About caffeine, my doctor's office has a line of Protein drinks called ProJoe. It's coffee with 20 grams of protein. I got 4 (two mocha and 2 chai). I thought when I got them they were named that way because they tasted like coffee but they have coffee in them. They are amazing and with 20 g of protein, super awesome.

Isopure at GNC is also an amazing product. One bottle has 60 g of protein and zero carbs. I mix it half and half with Water so usually drink 1/10 of the bottle at a time. But the protein adds up. :)

      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.
