Congrats to you! I'm excited and a little nervous. But mostly excited. I have a 5 day liquid diet pre op. That's going to be killer. I checked out the Protein Shakes at the store today and just can't make my mind up about which ones to buy. Those things are expensive if you're expected to drink 3 or 4 a day! What are you doing to prepare?

Same here. Mine is 7 day. I've been checking on this forum looking at different Protein Drinks. My girlfriend got muscle milk from Walmart. Premier I on hear was good also Syntax nectar which I ordered a sample pack to try. It had 15 different options in the sample. I hope to find one that I can tolerate for a long period of time.

Also Syntrax Matrix 2.0 has samples. I can't think of the site. I think it's bariatric pantry. I will get it when I go to work.

Great suggestions! Thanks for the ideas. Think I may try the premier shakes as I've seen a lot of positive comments about them.

I was also reading here that there is a site that assist with getting premiere paid for by your insurance. Google insure nutrition.

      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.
