I started my two week liquid preop diet today. It hasn't been too bad except for the Protein drinks. They are so sweet. Any suggestions for ones that aren't? I have tried Oh Yeah! and Premier Protein. I can do anything for two weeks but any suggestoins would be so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try adding PB2 its available at GNC where I get it for $4.00. It adds Protein and a much better Peanut Butter taste to the Protein shakes ( which I cant stand the taste of without PB2). Its really yummy that way! Give it a try, cant really go wrong for that price. Good luck to you! :D

I just got a book, "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein drinks." I haven't tried any yet, but they look good. Also, google recipe bariatric Protein shakes and see what looks good. If you make them yourself, you can make it to your taste. Hope this helps!

New whey has 42 grams of Protein and is less than 4 oz. The nu at my doctor's office just told me about it today. This product wasn't one of the suggested brands in my information packet as it is a new product and my packet was typed up and reprinted for the past 3+ yrs. She also told me that you can add ice or Water to it if its too sweet and it will still be less volume than the shakes. Not a big deal pre-op but from what I hear post-op its quite a chore to get the Protein down due to the new tiny stomach :) Just thought I would forward my newly found info!hope it helps.

      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.
