Yep sounds about the same. Minus the juice. I'm allowed to have origin v8. Good luck with getting through the diet! I hope it does get easier!

I've been drinking Atkins shakes, high Protein slim fast, and the Premier Protein. Each day they all taste a little better. definitely try some different ones. The surgeon recommended EASadvantage to me and I tried the strawberry. I couldn't stomach it. Some just really don't taste that good. I also like the whey Protein powder. Hope this helps and good luck with surgery! Mine is the 20th. Ready for it to be here! :-)

My doctor is SOOOOO specific. I could either do the Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement (which to me were terribleeeeee) or glucerna shakes bc of the slowly digestible carbs.

Premier Protein is my favorite and will probably be my post surgery 'full liquid' shake.

Good morning! April 23rd here. Just starting day 3 of liquid diet. I was down 4lbs this morning so that's nice. I am doing 6 shakes a day with other Clear liquids as long as they are sf&ff. I am really liking the premier shakes and the slim fast Cappacino shakes.....and broth for dinner has been saving my sanity.

On a side note....I was never so happy for a certain thing to start yesterday!!!! Did not want to deal with my period during surgery!!!!

The low carb pre op has been surprisingly easy...until my daughter made pancakes this morning. ♨️ Oh the smell! ???? Time to go for a walk!????

I'm ready for surgery Wednesday the 15th. ???? Let's get this party started!????

My apologies, I just found my emoji keyboard.

April 23rd here... And it's day 3 for me on the pre-op diet.. I'm so scared of not doing well that I'm probably losing from stress ... I totally messed up yesterday and had a tuna sandwich from subway.. My head has been killing me non stop headache since I stopped coffee completely about 6 days ago.. Although this morning it's starting to taper off???? I think it's caffeine withdrawal ... I have premiere Protein for Breakfast and lunch fruit as a snack usually a pear or banana and an orange throughout the day. Yesterday I made a chicken Soup that I plan to eat until the 23rd for my dinner.. Minus the noodles tons of veggies and chicken breast. .. plus a gallon of water.. coq10, Multivitamin and my bp med for breakfast and dinner.. I actually started the Vitamins about 3 weeks ago and bm's are ridiculous thankful I work from home. I hope that my last spot before surgery goes well.. It's Tuesday.

      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.
