Day 2 for me as well. Every time I feel the slight tinge of hunger, I drink lots of Water. I hope it gets easier for you. I've not had trouble yesterday or today.

My difficulty will come Friday thru Monday when I work 10 hour shifts each day. Pushing lots of Water when the RR is across the building. A big warehouse style building.

I am taking EAS Advantage, it's a soy base and I love the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, I have tried the unjury shakes too. Love the chicken flavor.

Are you able to make the Unjury chicken broth HOT? Like hot tea hot? I've been told to ask because some of the products that you would want served that way curtle. I want to get the Unjury Chicken broth but I'm worried it will be nasty. But I'm tired of all the sweet shakes :(

Yes you can ????, I heat it up for like 30 to 40 seconds. I put the powder with 8 oz of Water in one if those shaker cups with the little steel ball and after I hear it up I put the little ball in and cover it to shake it up. You can order them by packet or in a container and it tastes very good. You don't get chunks :) I really recommend it.

Mine was scheduled for June 11th. I found out last week that it is postponed. The doctors found a large cyst on my lung. I now have to have lung surgery before I can have bariatric surgery ????

What Protein is everyone drinking or using? Ive tried 5 or 6 different ones and realize I like the unjury chocolate splendor and strawberry the best. Any suggestions?

I love EAS vanilla! As far as powder. Lean Body chocolate and vanilla for ready-made and Any Muscle Milk ones. The Lean Body has now sugar.

      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.
