No totally not weird. I am big on teeth too, I can't date someone who has horrible nasty teeth specially if they are missing some where you can see?

They are having me drink boost, but if we find alternatives that are equivalent in nutrition facts then they are ok. You are wanting a Meal Replacement drink for the pre op diet not just a Protein shake.. Ask your doc if there are alternatives?

I found my favorite strawberry and Cream from costco, it's Premier Protein shakes. But it's thinner then most pre made drinks I've tried... Well stocked up on protein! Hoping not to lose lots of hair!

Hey Shannon, you want something that is even better for your hair? I am a distributor for itworks global, and my website is www.tightenwithtinapolley.myitworks.com and there is a product on there that is amazing for your hair but also your skin and nails it's called Hair skin and nails. I also have other products on there that are great for other things like there is body wraps so when your losing the weight you can use these to help tighten and tone your skin so you don't have so much loose skin, they have an energy drink that helps you get all your vegetables for a day in one 8 oz glass of Water. Thing with all these products is that they are all natural too. Check out my website and if you have any questions email me, I will help in anything I can. Thanks and good luck!!!

yeah they are great products and i plan to add them to my post surgery use. I know it's going to be hard to get all my Vitamins in during the day due to the amount I will be able to eat so i figure this will be the best way and as for the other products I fully plan to use the wraps as I lose the weight it will help tighten the extra skin and then also some of the other products. I know a friend of mine that used the hair skin and nails and in 2 weeks her hair grew like 2 inches. its amazing that is why I plan to use it cause I just cut my hair really short and I like it but really miss my long hair so I am going to let it grow out and so I figure if I use that then it will help, I have used Biotin in the past and it didn't help that much? So we will see!!!

      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.
