I know others have talked about ordering the bullets online. We have one grocery store in our town, not much selection, but I will check GNC and Vitamin Shop when I get to a larger town close to us. I have ordered the CLICK Protein Powder to have Decaf coffee shakes someday :) I have loaded up on 2 different type of vitamin waters. I also bought some powder sticks of vitamin Water that I can carry with me in my purse and on the airline. Got those at Sam's Club, not sure of the name now, I am at work.

I feel like I am doing pretty good with getting things together, I will buy the things for the next phase once I get home and feel like strolling through the grocery store again.

I went to Walmart last week to purchase Vitamins etc. While there, I noticed they sell New whey Protein bullets 42g. I bought watermelon and grape flavors which I have not tried yet. I love both flavors so I am really hoping I will not be disappointed although I'm pretty sure that stuff isn't gonna taste like normal things. I think all of these things are going to take some getting use to and patience on our parts. Afterall, we didn't get in our situations from drinking Protein shakes and shooting down bullets.

I do not see these online for sell, but you may be able to find in your store. They also had a fruit punch flavor, and they even have other varieties, such as body fortress bullets.

Welcome to the boards once more Mczoo. Our Dr. Alvarez is going to be a very busy person come August. I know he's always busy but this is a huge VST group going to him in August.

I sure hope we all get to keep in touch, and maybe get to meet each other at the patient reunions. I love how we all keep a closeness that we can be supportive for each other.

Hello All ... I am an August 27th sleever from upstate NY and just wanted to join the group! So many posts to catch up on, but so glad to be part of such a positive bunch! I am sure I will have lots of questions.. can't wait!

Welcome Blue. Glad to see you made it over, No worries about the questions you may have,. We all have questions. I still have tons of questions that float through my mind. Sad part is I don't write them down and then I forget them. So now I try to keep a note pad next to my bed for when a thought or question wakes me up at night I jot it down.

I can't even explain how many sleepless nights I have had recently. Not from fear, but just from thoughts, flashes of upcoming life, anticipation. Very hard to sleep through things like that.

Remember this is a journey worth traveling, so lets make it a very memorable experience. Glad to help out anytime. Have fun reading!

      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.
