Dana, I'm EXCITED! I'm on day 2 of liquid pre-op and lost 7lbs so far. I am starting to feel the effects already of no sugar, caffeine, carbs...but like you said...ONLY 12 MORE DAYS!

That's awesome, wondering how many pounds I will lose. I'm not going to weigh myself until next Tuesday. I can lose 30 lbs. and still proceed with surgery, that would be so excellent :). I'm very happy our time is approaching.

I have a friend that is having the surgery too and she ordered different Protein drinks, she bought the drinks not the shakes but they taste good. It is what I plan on getting for my clear liquids(just no red). The have 40 grams of Protein too.

I've noticed a lot of people saying they have purchased Isopure. Is that because your surgeon suggested it? Or because of another reason? Just curious. :)

Oct 7th here also. Caffeine withdrawls whew ..... But I refuse to cheat ! I am on low carb high Protein diet.... I didn't get in all the food I was supposed today (busy day on road) do y'all think that's ok ? Adjusting to eating 6 x's a day is not the easiest!

Yes the caffeine, it was difficult. I had to slowly decrease my intake because I was getting headaches but didn't realize my headaches were a result of it until I met with my NUT. I didn't realize I was drinking so much coffee while at work. I'm with you, we've come to far now to mess up. Six meals through out the day will be a huge challenge for me when I return to work. We can do it though!! Stay in touch and I'll do the same. We're almost there :)!!

i watched some u tube videos of others with gastric sleeve. The clear is low calorie no carbs & 40 GM of Protein. The powders are 50gm protein, no carb or low carb for 200 calories and they taste pretty good

My surgeon recommended bipro Protein because it's an isolate protein and doesn't have a bunch of added fillers like most protein powders do. I've also heard a lot of good reviews on Unjury protein powders.

I just noticed that when you type Un Jury without the space it converts it into a link... Like it did my previous post. I only wrote "good reviews on un jury Protein powders" Interesting lol

      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.
