I make a trip to a GNC (Vitamin and nutritional store) once a month and stock up for the month allowing one drink per day. It can get pricey; however, if I purchase my items during the first week of the month I save 25% off the cost. I average about $100.00 per month on the Isopure drinks. I have purchase the Torani sugar free syrups at Sam's Club in our area and also World Market. At World Market they are located behind the food close to the wine section. At Sam's they are located close to the tobacco cage where members purchase cigarettes, etc. I could even see Sam's Club having the Torani close to the wine section too. If you have a health foods store or local gym they may also carry the Isopure. If not I know the items can be purchased online and delivered. You could also try any health foods store that may be in your area. I have been told some carry the Isopure but not all. Just a thought - if you locate a health foods store in your area you might consider seeing if they have a resource to get them. It could be cheaper than paying shipping. (Isopure comes in a heavy glass bottle which tends to run up shipping costs.) Usually one bottle can cost anywhere from $4.25 to a little over $5.00 each. At GNC when I purchase items during the first week of the month I buy two Isopure drinks and get one free then on top of that savings I also receive 25% off my total purchase. It adds up quickly; meaning the cost AND the savings!

Good luck! I'll share any additional information you may need based on my personal experience. Just ask.

Have a great weekend!

      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.
