I heard no OJ or any citrus for awhile cause it irritates the pouch - something like that. Which I hope changes after awhile cause I like lemon as a seasoning. Anyone else hear this too?

My surgeon didn't say not to drink OJ but it's like a little in the morning & sometimes evening & it's Water down OJ has fithy percent less sugar.

I will be calling my weight center tomorrow as I can't live like this. Water, tea, broth and carnation instAnt Breakfast. I will see if I can have yogurt etc. my center does not want you to eat anything that they have not approved as they know how it effects your system.

Where have you found the Isopure liquid ....and does it taste good ? What favors does anyone recommend?

Coconut Water is allowed in my diet also oranges not orange juice just don't swallow white stuff. Even if coconut water has 15 grams of sugar I drink it because it helps me with keep hydrated

The Isopure Protein drink tastes kinda like filmy Gatorade. It kinda coats my tongue. But it's not a bad taste. It is tolerable. They are best cold cold cold and so far I have tried the fruit punch one and the blue raspberry. The fruit punch is not very sweet, the blue raspberry is very sweet. My taste buds apparently changed following surgery and I don't like super sweet things right now... So I don't care for the blue raspberry. I also have mango peach to try. I only purchased them for my 1 week of clear liquid diet following surgery which I am almost done with. They are quite expensive (over $5.00 for 1 20 oz bottle) but they were better tasting than my Body Fortress Cookies and Cream mixed with Water ( MAJOR YUCK!) They can be purchased at GNC. My GNC let me purchase 3 individual bottles in 3 different flavors (they had to open cases to let me do this) but I didn't want a whole case of them. 12 bottles is more than 1 full month of ALL my Celebrate Vitamins, Iron and Calcium. Yikes! Good luck finding something you enjoy.

      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.
