I haven't tried them, but from what I've read people either love it or hate it. I've tried some of the 'unflavored' stuff. Unflavored my ass! I'll have to try the isopure, do you get it at GNC?

I'm not talking about the powder. There's ready made drinks like Powerade or Gatorade. They retail for about $6 and is do worth it in my opinion. You get 40g of Protein in along with 20oz of liquid.< /p>

To chime in on the hungry vs full thing, I'm not sure I've felt actual hunger yet. And because I have yet to eat any real food, I'm not sure we will get a full feeling yet either.

Schavez I feel the same as u. I got sleeved March 12th so I am post op day 2. Lots of gas and bubbling. Can't tell when I am full or not. Don't know if it is cause of the gas. Had a Protein Shake, broth and some Water today. A little pudding too.

I actually had lasgna last night and after a few bites, I was full. I could definitely feel it. Had some spaghetti today and once again, knew when I was full. Tonight I had some blackened catfish. It only takes a few bites, but then I get the sensation that I'm full and I stop. Feeling great!

No. Day 1 - surgery day was Water only, day 2 - Clear Liquids, then stage 3 which is semi solids which is to last until 2 week post op, but no problems so my food is all moist and small bites. I'm not eating a lot of anything. I guess I have moved beyond semi-solids more than it recommended, but no problems.

I was sleeved on 3-8 too. It's not been a lot of fun trying to get Protein and enough liquids. I'm tired all the time but figure this will wear off when I get good at getting in the required amounts. I had my stitches out today which was awesome. Sometimes I think I'm hungry but am then unable to drink much or have more than a couple tiny bites of yogurt.

It really is a learning process. I'm very happy to have found some other March 8 sleevers:)

      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.
