I am doing my 2 week liquid diet and find that whey Protein fills me up better and longer than others.

Um, I have it at home. I got it from the pharmacy section at my local Wal Mart Super Center. It was $15.95. I will let you know when I get home. It's chocolate and tastes really good. I mix a container of fat free yogurt and a cup of Water. Very filling.

That isn't the one. The one I got actually has double the Protein, but the same amount of carbs and it's $5.00 cheaper. I used this one before and it is good and tastes good with yogurt. Next time, look for the bottle that says "52 grams of protein" across the top. I'll let you know what it is called tonight. Good luck! By the way, if you decide to try the fat free yogurt, I really like the Tillamook brand Dark Cherry or the Yoplait light Orange Cream.

      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.
