Ok so I am still 17 day away from surgery and I Am already getting nauseous when I drink the Protein Shakes. I have been drinking them for about a month now because was having a hard time losing weight and doc put me on liquid/green/lean meat diet. Any suggestions as to maybe changing up the shakes?

Here is a couple ideas, blend ice into the drink and add some cold Water. It may be to think and high in protien. little more quanity but soomther going down. The other idea is to additional flavoring to them like Davinci syrups sugar free version or just regular flavoring extract like coconut flavoring. PB2 works too or just a small amount of regualr PB, do not need much to flavor it.

Hang in there our road about to get bummpy!

twinderful, have you tried taking Emetrol? its a liquid anti-nausea that I give to my daughter for car sickness. Its usually over by the tums and ppis and whatnot at the store. I also use sf Torani syrups in my shakes to mix it up, so that might help? 17 more days for us! The 20th will be here before we know it :)

I think you are lucky, the more busy we are the less we may concentrate on missing food! Try to think this is our final lap and we only have one more hurtle until we cross the surgery line...uh finish line. In a month this will just be a badge of honor that you survived and are stronger person for it.

Well I did it!!! Friday is my official weigh recording day, and I got my 100# medallion back!!!!
My High weight was 423 (long time ago) and today I was 321.6 so I have lost 100# before I have surgery!!! Which is on Monday. Not to shabby but getting a little flabby. I started the surgery Journey at 360# so I may make 40# loss by surgery date..Keep the prayers coming for me and my family.

Ok so it's been a little tough with the food situation since my surgery on Monday, but OMG I just got on the scale and I have lost 10# since my surgery!!! I am under the 300's!!!!! I haven't seen 299 in a long time! I have lost a total of 27 pounds in 2 months! I think that will get me through the next week and a half of soft foods.

Wow, I lost the same 10# the first week, so that makes 50# since I started surgical Journey. I too am pleased with the loss so far and yes I know that most people loose a lot in the beginning but I am happy now!!

      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.
