Can you have the Isopure clear liquid Protein drinks? (sold at Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, etc.).

We were both sleeved on the same day and I am feeling exactly the same way right now. My surgeon allows only two substances for 2 weeks post-op, one 8oz optisource(split into four 2oz servings) and 2 liters of calorie free beverages. That adds up to about to <30 grams of Protein, <250 calories, and one hungry girl. I am thinking to add some Syntrax Nectar to my Fluid intake. I know that is technically cheating but if I don't up my protein I may be tempted to do something more drastic. Best of luck. I feel your pain.

I was sleeved on the 12th and for 2 weeks I am to focus on 64+ ounces of non caloric liquids. Only adding Protein if I feel weak or shaky. I've not really been hungry but did notice the muscle weakness an shakiness the past 2 days. I'm counting down to next Tuesday and a scrambled egg :)

I am still pre op but read these boards every day and have learned a lot. Are you on a PPI? I have read that acid can mimic hunger. Just putting it out there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
