Hi,

I will have my surgery on February 18th and I just started doing mostly shakes and the ones I am using are great! THEY are the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes and you can get them on line. The chocolate and Vanilla are great. How was the surgery? I am a bit nervous about that....I hope the you like these shakes.

Thanks for the tip will try. Surgery was great i had a lil discomfort the first 3 days but nothing major.. gas pains were a bother but walking is the only thing that helps. Lots of weight loss im down from 277 to 251 and im only 11days post of so its all worth it. Good luck on ur surgery its definitely life changing

I am day 13 postop from VGS and I am also struggling to get my Water and Vitamins in every day. I can do string cheese and cottage cheese and soft eggs which is helping. I made salmon and have done the tuna of course with a little light miracle whip my dietician's idea :) and that has been fine. Refried Beans with a little mozzarella cheese. I have done crockpot dark meat and white chicken in cream of chicken Soup, one time with just low sodium chicken base, and once with onions And mild peppers just for flavor and then puréed it. Any ideas would be great. A little Protein Powder in my fave soup progressive light potato bacon and cheese has only 3 grams fat. Down down 23# since surgery jam 19th.

      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.
