I will be thinking about you and wishing you a fast and painfree surgery and recovery! What a great way to start a new year! I liked the ZeroCarb Isopure and the Unjury post op. They mix well and taste pretty good. Now I just pick up a Protein Powder at Walmart or HEB, whatever one has the lowest suger.....I think it is Body Fortress whey Protein I get. I am not a Breakfast eater and still drink a Protein Drink for breakfast, but dont worry too much about the quality of it since my real protein and nutrients come from food now.

I don't know much about Protein Drinks yet, but I wish you all the best and I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow.

I agree fully with Lianna---I used Zero Carb Isopure, and Unjury. I got the ZC Isopure at GNC, and ordered the Unjury at www.unjury.com . They have small sample packs you can buy before buying the large containers. I really liked the chocolate, but mostly used the unflavored with other flavor agents, like SF, FF pudding mixed in, or DaVinci SF syrups. Plus with the unflavored you can add it to anything as you progress with your foods, if you feel you need a Protein increase.

Good Luck to you---I hope the surgery and recovery are smooth sailing!!! Come back an let us know how it went!

Welcome to LBT!

I hope all goes just perfect for you tommorrow, and congratulations on taking hold of your life, and making it what you want it to be. It is amazing to me to have learned that as a large person, everyone seems to just expect you not to succeed at your goals, but they think that if you are slim that you can do anything(my personal life observation) that you set out to do. Well, this is so different, you choose to change you life as a large person, and you are not accomplished at it until you are a smaller person,,,,,,,,,, it really messes people up in their perception of what we can do if we want it bad enough. Just for a test, as you lose weight, pay attention to how people approach you, listen to you, and respond to what you have to say. It is really an eye opener, or it was for me.

After you have gone through the three day WHAT HAVE I DONE phase you will start on the best journey you can ever take, the road to health!!!!

Again, good luck, take your pain meds, and welcome to bandsville!!!!!

I'm very glad your surgery went well and I too hope we can start a support group in the Katy area since driving to the Galleria via 1-10 is a nightmare.:)

      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.
