Well make sure the shakes have adequate nutrition! You can lose the weight but I am not going to lie, it takes work and a committment from you. It is so easy to keep the bad habits. Snacking, eating too many carbs etc. You really have to focus on your Protein and walk as much as possible. BUT you CAN absolutely do it if you want it. You will eat a lot less but if you snack and eat the wrong things then it will not work.

I use Premier Protein shakes. I know you can get them online but they only deliver to Canada and USA. You can try to order from Amazon but I am not sure if they have it. There are seveeral out there, you just want to make sure that they are low carb as well as full of the Daily Nutrition you need. I was told to drink 4 of those a day. ( I only drank 3 and took a chewable vitamin). I am not sure what you have available but I would check the label. Oh and make sure you drink LOTS of Water or you can get dehydrated.

      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.
