Recommended Posts

Jetti,

I am being banded on November 9th, and I am trying to get through the liquid pre-diet. I purchased the Designer whey Natural Flavor at the bequest of my nutritionist. Today I tried it three different times and gagged each time. The smell was awful and the taste was even worst. I am really concerned at this point.

I have tried those little bullets, they do not taste great but they are so concentrated getting a ton of Protein with the least amount of volume. But I know what you mean after reading DBAGuy's post.

I really need to find some Isopure ASAP!

Hi Mollybrown,

I can't stand the taste of the protien either. I went to my local GNC and purchased Isopure in 6 different flavors. I haven't tried it yet but the sales person said it wasn't bad but is better if kept really cold.

Good luck with your pre-op diet!

YIKES Molly now I am really worried about the Protein that I purchased. I dont have to follow a liquid pre diet - woohoo!! - but I will try the protein mix this week so that if it is nasty I can search for a new one. I was really tempted to buy the nectar protein mix because it came in really great flavors that can be added to Water for a nice juice but I am worried about wasting money I dont really have on all of these different powders. oh well I guess i will just have to suck it up and realize its for a good cause - my future!!!!

      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.
