Do they have it in other flavors? I can't stand orange unless it's from a tree or OJ.

I'm sure they do. This is the only one ink have tried. I get it at complete nutrition and i know they give samples.< /p>

Don't be jealous girl...I am on soft/pureed and if you aren't careful you can really make yourself feel like 'crap' (that's being polite!). I made myself go back to liquids & some pureed each day and that seems to working pretty good for me for now! Maybe advancing slower is better...or maybe I just don't know what I'm doing! I'm just glad to be losing weight!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Yea true, you're right... I've gone back to almost full liquids at this point also because the heartburn is bad. I love my Protein Shakes, they are yummy and satisfy my sweet tooth haha Does your doc also require each phase for 2 weeks?

I take a V-core Vantage' date=' two scoops. With two scoops it has 300 calories, 18 carbs and 50 grams of Protein. I mix it with Water 16-18 oz or some times I put in 1/2 cup of low fat yogurt. It is the orange creamsicle and I like it. Some times I use the Isopure grape with vanilla EAS protein too. I tried the strawberry ones from Unjury, yuck! So I stick with what I like. So with that and what I eat, I think I am ding pretty good. Just need to get all my water in too![/quote']thanks!

What is your calorie intake?

800 I hover around. I'm doing better. My wellness doc said to worry about Protein first but wants me to get 1000 cals.

Check out topic Weight loss stall at 2 weeks. There is a great article on their that explains what your body is going through. Measure yourself too. You may be losing inches. I'm going through the same, but I can feel my legs and face thinning out.

I think mine is longer than 2 weeks, I went to an appointment with my nutritionist on the 10th (1 month post op) and she advanced me to soft/pureed, I just gotta get better at measuring and weighing my foods! I go back Monday for my second check-up (5 wks. 5 days) with the doc., can't wait to see how he thinks I'm doing!

Under topic "weight loss stall at 2 weeks." It was a link under a persons profile. I was trying to find the darn thing to forward to you. If I can find it I will send it to you. :-). It's the exchange of Water and some other substance in our muscles. Best wishes!

I know, :-/ -_- :-(. My App my my phone also told me....."you're not eating enough calories. Your will cause your body to go into starvation mode if you don't get in enough calories. I'm working to get in at least a 1000 calories. It's so hard. I am doing great with my Water and protein....geeez. Never thought in my life I would be struggling to get my caloric intake in. Lol. I know I'll get there. :-).

      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.
