Ohhh! Your going to do great!

Tips: drink liquid protien not shakes in the beginning... Also you don't need to eat for the first 6-to year as long as you get Protein in that's what my doc always told me also I started shakes 1 month out Nd muscle milk pro series worked the best, the least calories, most protein and least sugars its 40 grams but I can only drink pre made the powder is gross

Wow! Great job! My surgery is set for November 12. I can't wait to get it over with and start toward the downward side!

Thanks for the tips! I'm a little confused. I hope you can help me out with this. You said drink only liquid protien in the beginning, not shakes. What would that be? All I can think of when I hear liquid protien is protien shakes.

Also, what is ND Muscle milk and where do you get it? Is that a protien shake or the liquid protien you are talking about.

Like I said, I'm confused. I hope you can help me understand the difference a little better.

Thank you. And you really do look FABULOSE!!!!

If you get Muscle Milk Light it has under 5 grams of sugar and it's not bad at all!

Hello i have a question. If i continued to just drink my Protein i really dnt have to eat?

I am finding myself not hungry and nothing satisfies me when i do eat.

I am 8weeks out. I lost 44lbs so far. My dr feels i lost too much too fast and placed me on a regular diet, lol, not working. I dont like food, as funny as that may sound.

      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.
