You said' date=' candy, that it was hard to find natural whey isolate. Did you read my private messages? I sent you specific names of natural organic whole whey --- admittedly I did not give info on isolates cause I don't use them.

Sorry none of my suggestions worked out. Protein 17 is an excellent natural whey, and so is rawwheyprotein -- that is what it is called. but they aren't isolates.

There is no one right answer. We all have to figure out what is right for ourselves.[/quote']

When is your surgery, Tizzie?

I don't have a date. My surgeon has said probably in January. I have to jump through a few minor insurance hoops. I had finished all the hoops and she approved me for surgery in jan 2012 but for reasons i don't think fit in this thread so I wont' go into them, I cancelled.

Then life happened and I went back to her in Oct. She said she'd do it in Jan if I redid a couple insurance hoops. Minor insurance hoops. Most of my prep tests were still valid but I had to see the psychologist again and I have to see my primary care doc once a month three months in a row. I saw her in Oct, will see her in Nov and in Dec and on Dec 11th, all my insurance hoops covered, she'll schedule the surgery. Altho it is possible her Jan slots will be filled.

Fortunately all my other prep was still good. Of course I had seen my doc three months in a row before but it has to be within the past 12 months and it was something like within 14 months so I have to do it again. Not tht big a deal but frustrating. I'm ready.

You sound ready, and you seem to have all the information you need to succeed as a vegan bypass patient. I'm sure you'll succeed!

      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.
