I prefer the premier Protein.. But have never tried the carnation breakfast shakes.. Premier has 30g of Protein, 1 sugar, & 160 calories.. They are really great in taste..

Ibought the shakes from doctors office and don't really care for them too well especially without skim milk

Premier Protein shakes are already made! They come in 11oz containers. I personally like the choc over the vanilla.. They taste great! I sit mine in the freezer and let them get icy.. Yummy! I have heard on this sight if u like coffee u can mix the choc premier Protein with it and they say it taste like a mocha coffee.. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm goin too..

I would recommend to call your dr in the morning about the chest pains.. Jus to be on the safe side.. Could be jus gas pains but I don't want to make that call.. I'm sure your dr can answer that question for you.. He may move your appt up some or Atleast they can give u some info as to y this is happening to you..

Is there anything u eat to help satisfy hunger or doesn't feel like diet food

Not at that stage u r in.. But I will tell you this.. I drank wonton Soup from the Chinese restaurant.. I only drank the soup tho.. It made me feel a lot better.. I practically lived off of that & regular chicken broth the 1st 10 days.. Have u tried sugar free jello.. The cherry is really good. I am on phase 3 now tho.. R u feeling hungry a lot? Because I had a lot of HEAD hunger .. But I have dealt very well with it now.. It will get better as the days go by.

Yes, I am very thankful of this site.. It has helped me tremendously! When I can't sleep at night I jus go read this forum til I fall asleep.. Also I have heard if u stay hungry a lot your dr may wanna put u on something like Prevacid .. I think I heard them say its something to do with acid reflux..

      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.
