Seriously, try the Unjury chocolate. It tastes like chocolate milk and each shake has 21gm of Protein EACH. They ship really fast. I have tried five different brands and the Unjury is the one I know I will be able to keep down after surgery.

I'm getting sleeved on march 18th and today is the first real day of my pre-op diet. I'm really excited but I am STARVING! Does anyone have any suggestions or "free" food that is filling? Thanks y'all.

Jello is the only thing that help me through pre-op and I hate Jello but it got me full

Thanks Deborah

I will see if I can find them. Where did you get yours? Also I was wondering if the pre op diet was the worst part of the entire process?

Ok, so I cheated...a little. Last night I had a small salad and a small piece of plain baked chicken. I was feeling so crappy. It got me through the night. Hope I didn't mess up completely. Surgery is Monday. :)

I am on day four of my pre-op diet, and my surgery is on Monday! I've been drinking Water non-stop! Every now and then, I'll switch it up to some water down Powerade. As far as Protein, I ordered the Nature's Best vanilla Cream Extreme smoothies from www.vitacost.com. 35 grams of Protein per 11 oz can, and only six carbs! Tastes SO great! Doesn't have that yucky aftertaste like other Protein Shakes. I've been drinking two of those a days. I sometimes mix half of the EAS Advantage strawberry Low Carb Protein flavor with this just to mix it up. I've even mixed in a small spoonful of Peanut Butter as well! I've also been drinking plenty of hot tea! Vanilla Chai Tea, Bavarian Wild berry Tea, and Decaf tea. Also have had my share of chicken AND beef broth. Also had some watered down Tomato Soup. It hasn't been easy by all means, but I've gotten over the hump as far as cravings and such. I've lost 10 pounds since starting this so far! Trust me, it will be worth it! Just gotta keep pushing! :)

      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.
