I start my 2 weeks tomorrow. If y'all don't mind my asking' date=' what products are y'all using for Meal Replacements?[/quote']

I have 1 week no fat diet, then monday I start the full liquid (surgery 8/27). So far I've been making a Protein shake for Breakfast. It's the Body Fortress whey from Walmart. I like to add imitation banana extract to the vanilla or strawberry. I also bought coconut and root beer extract (root beer float when mixed with vanilla- yum).

I'm on day three of a seven day liquid diet. Not too bad so far, though I've been going to the bathroom every two hours because of it!

I don't start my 2 week preop diet until 8/21. My surgery is Sept 4th at University of Maryland Medical Center w/ Dr. Mark Kligman. The approved the Protein mix that I've been using for years, so that's great! It actually taste good. I use Dymatize. Piña Colada is my favorite so far. Yum!

      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?

      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.
