Hi I am going to my first appointment tomorrow. I have the lapband and am hoping to have the revision to the sleeve. According to the nurse at my insurance, it will not take me long to be approved.

Anyway, I decided to go out on a limb and buy 3 cases (online) of Isopure. It just came in and I have to say, not bad at all. Very doable. I've read that some people say its horrible but knowing I am not too fussy, I bought it before knowing what it tastes like.

It is 40 grams of clear Protein per bottle and 160 calories with 0 carbs. I think it will help greatly during my post op Clear liquids stage.

Although I like some of the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury flavors better, the Isopure powders definitely mix better. I overbought too, and even though I am at nine months out, I still have enough for another six months at least.

I bought the grape, apple melon and passion...Not bad at all. I heard unjury has a chicken Soup that is very good;

I'm planning on ordering the variety pack of Isopure RTD from GNC which will be a total of 12 bottles. I'm going to want some Protein during my first post-op week. DH is having his surgery in January so whatever I don't use, he will. I got a tip on a You Tube video that if you can't stand the taste of it, add some Water and a packet of Crystal Light of the same flavor.

I've tried a few different kinds of Protein powders and I like some more than others but I'm keeping a little bit of everything on hand since I've read that your taste changes after the surgery. My favorite in the morning is the Chike High Protein coffee. It's very good and not gritty at all. I add some sugar free syrups for different flavor "lattes". I know I could make my own with regular coffee and unflavored protein but for now I'm just sampling as much as I can before surgery so I'll know (or think I'll know) what I can get down.

      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.
