Nancy' date=' the Protein shake I am using is close, but the nutritionist said it was fine for both pre and post op. It has 6g carbs and 4g sugar. She said the extra gram of carb is fine. I use Nitro-Peak whey Protein by Inner Armour. I get it at Vitamin World, but I found that the one I order from Vitamin World online tastes better than when I buy the same product in the store. I can't imagine why they would taste different, but they do...weird. unjury makes yummy Protein Powder that fits the bill. You can go online to Unjury.com and order samples to see what you like. Chike makes yummy protein shakes too, Chike.com you can order samples. The other brand I have not tried, but comes highly recommended is nectar. You can also get samples to try their flavors. If you like fruity drinks, then nectar has many that mix up with Water to be like Kool-aid. I would go the sample route (I don't think you can get samples of Nitro Peak) unless you know that you like Protein Shakes. We have been drinking them on and off in my house for years so I already knew I liked that one. But if you are not sure, 40 is a lot to spend in the event that you hate it![/quote']

Wow, thanks Tracy for all the great advice! Just found the Unjury starter kit. Going to give it a try. Going to need something for the aftermath even if I don't go on the pre-surgery liquid diet. Here I thought my grocery bill would go down after the surgery! Lol. Thanks again!

Sorry for that posting twice. My phone went all weird on me & I couldn't find my reply so I did it again. :-)

I am scheduled for the 4th in Dallas! So far I love Dr. Kim & his entire staff! They are so great!!

Dr. Kim and staff are great. As far as DFW surgeons go he is top shelf. Good look with your surgery, you having it at forrest park? That facility is great. I'm starting week 4 post-op, if you have any questions feel free to ask me anything.

      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.
