Congrats on the earlier date - try Unjury, it's mail order, but you'll need it for after surgery too and GNC has Isopure, clear liquid flavored Protein, w/40g of protein

Vitamin Shoppe online had muscle milk lite (powder) on sale like half price off and their delivery is usually 2-4 days. I love mixing it with milk 32g Protein for 10oz drink! Ill take it :)

EAS shakes from target are awesome. My favorite by far. The strawberry tastes like nestle quick strawberry. Today was 2nd day preop and easier today.

I definitely will. You do the same. By the way, I bought the chocolate Premier Protein shakes at Sam's, and I really liked it. Keep me posted on how you're doing :)

I like the premiere (prepared) Protein drinks......I'm not a big fan of vanilla in general, but it tasted good....and, of course, I like the chocolate....good luck!

Ok, so tomorrow is one week of this pre-op diet and I am down 9 lbs so far. Slow start but about a lb a day now. Fit into size 18 pants yesterday that I have not worn in over 2 years. Just about cried. Still cant believe this is really happening. My life is about to totally change and I am going to get me back again. I have felt like I lost who I was over the past 20 years. Now I get to find that girl again. So excited to spend the second half of my life in complete happiness with myself. Yay!

      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.
