My doctor said they were okay, I would check with the nut/ dietician to make sure because I am learning every doctor is different. It's better to be safe

Anyone on insulin and on the Protein Shakes has it affected your sugar levels. Do anyone know if its OK to blend up fruit in Protein shakes

I'm insulin dependent and I find it to lower my sugar level a bit plus the Protein Shakes keep me full longer compared to a Breakfast sandwich. I'm actually starting to enjoy them for breakfast. I mean I think they all pretty suck in taste but if it helps keep my tummy full then I'm drinking them, lol!

I was told to just stick with fruits that are low glycemic like berries.

Thanks for the help I emailed my endocrinologist and she told me to cut down on the amount of insulin I'm taking. I start my pre op diet today so nervous not ready to get out the bed I am really hoping I can do this for the next two weeks. When is/was your surgery?

So is it any easier now I just drank my first one for breakfast I need to go but a blender so I can add ice I heard sometimes making them thicker makes you feel fuller. I am actually satisfied with the way I feel after the first one I am now chewing a piece of sugar free gum LoL just need to chew. I will make sure to stay in this and not cheat I clearly understand why I have to do it b/c in the end I will be a healthier person for this. What is your date??

      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.
