Congrats on your date! My favorite Protein shakes are from Sytntrax matrix. Tastes vary. Other brands I've seen mentioned that people like are: premiere Protein, chike, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. If you only need to do it for three days, maybe just get something that's convenient. I also like the gold standard mix you can get at GNC. Also have used glucerna hunger smart - you can buy those at most drugstores.

I'm not a fan of the premier. It and the Atkins bloated my stomach so bad. It's a little more sugar, but the EAS Soy is pretty good. I brew espresso, add tons of ice and use a scoop of the vanilla one. I really like it. There are a few milk (lactose) free products like: MHR 70+, unjury, Isopure, Syntrax nectar, and SmartForme shakes/drinks. Can't wait to read updates. Surgery is getting close!

Hi Dotti! I would highly recommend starting your liquid diet about a week or so before your surgery (my surgeon required a 2 week liquid pre op diet) eating will become the last thing you worry about after surgery. I lost my entire appetite for about a month after surgery. The hardest part is mentally altering your eating habits. I never really feel hungry even at 8 months out and 162lbs down, but mentally I still feel like I could eat even when I know I shouldn't.

      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.
