What Protein Shakes are you all using? I'm 4 weeks out today and figure I had better get busy and make some decisions.

Of you like peanut butter... Try a Peanut Butter cookie shake (Matrix and Protizyme are the brands I've tried). I also like banana cream shakes. You can order sample packs online (mybariatricpantry.com).

Anyone else having what I'm calling "surgery brain"?? I'm having a really hard time concentrating on anything else, work, etc. It's not even that I'm thinking about surgery, I just can't focus. I can't turn my brain off at night either.

I am, I am so emotional, excited, then I have anxiety, then stressing over my pre-op diet and my surgery. I guess it's normal. I am pretty much consumed by this major life change, day or night, I'm so ready for my surgery date which is Aug 19th, so I can begin this, new chapter in my life!

      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.
