I am new to the group and this process. I have my first dr visit this week and my first nut appt next week. Right now I always have an Atkins low carb shake for Breakfast. Didnt know if this is something I should continue or if I should switch to something else that I will continue to have in the future. It's 160 calories and 15 Protein. Appreciate suggestions

I would like to know too. The mocha shake is my favorite! Although I would like to try the premier shakes that everyone talks about since they are higher in Protein.

The Nutritionist will tell what they want you to have. The Atkins shake may be OK but maybe take one with you to the apt so they can read the nutrition label.

This might depend on your individual Doctor/Nut, but my hospital had specific guidelines for carbs, fat and Protein. A lot of people use Premier because they are low in fat, carbs and high in Protein. And are decent tasting.

My nut had several items out for examples. One was the Adkins, also the Slimfast high Protein.< /p>

Brands ready made that I like are Oh Yeah all flavors, Pure Protein all flavors, EAS Advantage--- the kind you make yourself I have always used Designer whey Protein- chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and White chocolate. You can use the vanilla for so many different recipes and you can also get Davinici or Torani sugar free syrups and make your own flavors.

These are all high-proten & low carb.

      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.
