I have the same diet & I start in a couple days what kind of Protein shake did you get?

I have naked Protein I got on Amazon and make my own. I have some fit4life I picked up ages ago that's food. It's strawberry kiwi. I also have some veggie Soup from BA. I will want more rjongs savory than a month of sweet. That's why I like the naked protein. I even put it in my coffee. The trick it to let it sit for a while and let the protein take on the coffee flavor. I sometimes nuke it to warm it back up. That's the key with unflavored protein. BA also sells a protein elixir ....I have white grape and you can add it to anything. It's a great way to ads 10 grams to your Water. Hope that's not info overload lol also great thing for right after surgery is the BA with all the Vitamins and Calcium in it! It's pricey, but a great way to get protein AND Vitamins that first two weeks.

I haven't tried them yet but stopped at GNC on my way home from work today. I bought 4 of the Isopure Protein drinks. They are buy 3 get 1 free so it was a better deal. Total was 16. They are 24 oz so two servings a bottle' date=' 40 grams of protien total, 0 carbs. From what I read/videos, people either love or hate them. The main reason I decided on these was the are like Gatorade instead of a shake which I don't like. Will let you know how they taste :)[/quote']

I got a few...they are just OK! I have them in the fridge for after surgery

My sleeve is scheduled for February 25th. I'm a little worried about recovering on my own with no help, as my husband will be in Europe, but still very excited about having it done.

I will have my surgery on Feb. 20th. Will be on a 2 week pre-op diet. Think Slimfast or Medifast. combination of 5 Protein Bars and shakes and one meal in the evening 5 oz of lean meat and veggies.

As for as not worried, everyone is different and you will handle it the way that works for you. Best of luck and much success!

      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.
