I would like go share the only way I am able to get my Protein in, as after surgery i cant stand the Protein Drinks. I mix protein mix ( choc or van) and mix with 1/4 cup of Water. (I use a small 3oz container with lid). I mix this with my Decaf coffee 2x daily. Tastes like a coffee ordered from the shop and does not taste like a Protein Drink.< /p>

Brilliant! What a clever woman you are! Think I will be doing that when I am home and recovering. Had enough of the shakes on the pre-op diet.

So we are allowed Decaf coffee? Obviously it must cool down a bit before sipping?

I was drinking piping hot decaf the day of my surgery and I've never had any issues with hot things. My nut says decaf counts as a Fluid, so u get both in.

I'm going through similar issues. Today is 1st day home from hospital. My question to you is how long does your drink stay warm??? I am making a hot cocoa portien drink in the morning but the cup is 8oz. I have divided it to 2 mugs and stuck one in the fridge. The 4 ounces goes cold before I finish it - I can drink 4 oz no problem, but I am scared to do it (drink too many ounces at one sitting)

I did that all the time before surgery. Haven't tried it yet since, only because I don't have any Decaf coffee at home lol

      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.
