Drinking sweet stuff all day is really gross.

What I do like is broth alone, and broth with unflavored Protein Powder. I find that far more satisfying. I have the Unjury unflavored powder and the IsoNatural unflavored whey. http://www.vitacost.com/allmax-nutrition-isonatural-whey-protein-isolate-unflavored-2-lbs-1 the IsoNatural foams up a little more than the unjury, but it also blends better. I can buy the IsoNatural locally so I think I will use it ovevr Unjury. Unjury also makes a chicken Soup, but the sodium content is very high. You can get the same effect with broth and unflavored Protein with less sodium. I also have Syntrax Nectar Cappucino and watermelon flavored Protein Drink with BCAAs for muscle retention.

I drink broth and Water in between shakes to keep hunger at bay.

July 21 for me... today is day 2 of my pre-op diet... if anyone has some suggestions for flavor and variety from the the usual stuff on the Doc's handouts I would be grateful

I have my sleeve surgery on July 14th. I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my life. God bless everyone with their surgeries.

Hi Jen--me, too!! It almost feels like it is surreal! I have to do a two day liquid diet before Tuesday, and I am starved! I truly feel sorry for those who have to do this for two weeks. Good luck to you and everyone else here!!

You don't have information from your doctor? I have a book and a paper packet and the nutritionist also told me what to have. If you are in doubt contact the office. If you need advice on types of Protein, plenty of people can help with suggestions.

I'm at the other end-in Barnegat. Did you get any answers from the doctor's office on what you can have on the pre-op diet? I had a one hour class just on the pre-op and first week post op diets. I could share my info with you, but every doctor seems to have their own protocols all the way from all liquids to just a low carb diet, so it would be better to get the info from them.

      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.
