@@Dulce_jtrivera that uploaded list sounds great. The nut I saw only gave regular suggestions of boost and premier Protein. Not a big variety at all.

@@tfowler a week seems so far but is so close. I think k I get more and more anxious every day. It's hard to concentrate on normal day to day tasks. Then I find myself wanting to eat food but knowing I shouldn't. :(

I found some interesting flavors at smoothie King of all places. Has anyone tried those?

Thanks, @Dulce_jtrivera. I'll check those out, too. Seems like a much better source of Protein than the powder I have, which only has 16 grams per serving. Awesome!

I completely understand, @Boise.

I never heard of them either. Are their flavors tasty? How many grams of Protein do they have in them?

I mix it with Water, but a girl that's in my support group uses almond milk or skim milk. That adds more Protein to it.

And I have never heard of the Smoothie King either... but I will try anything that will help me through the liquid phases!

The brand is spiro-tein, and comes in a ton of flavors. 14g of Protein, slightly on the low side so I mix them with skim milk and that adds 8g. They are very tasty and under 100cal. I won't be using these unless I am in need of a flavor change. I like Unjury chicken flavor too.

I'm scheduled for the 22nd too! (In PA) Only 1 week to go! Just bought my B-12 and some SF Popsicles today.

Btw...Unjury chicken Soup is great & has 21g's of protein! Has no funky taste or smell like most of the Protein products out there. I had a sample, but I just ordered some for the post op liquid phase. I'm so afraid of losing my hair & I think it might help to get some good protein in during the first couple weeks.

Best wishes to us all!!!

      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.
