Is yours a liquid only diet? Mine allowed for sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles, Protein Shakes or drinks, raw veggies and chicken broth.< /p>

I'm allowed the jello and Popsicles and cream Soups and yogurt but I need to make sure I get my Protein in so I wanted to start my dAy off with a shake and it is just sooooooo gross

So sorry you aren't getting along with them. I don't mind them. Are you allowed coffee or Decaf? I put a little instant in the vanilla and pretend it's a Starbucks!!

I promise it gets better! My first 2 days everything tastes gross to me. sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding was just bland and I had a hard time choking it down.. But by day 5 it seemed to taste differently. I actually started to like the premier Protein drinks. Now I'm 2 days post op and the Protein Drinks are gross again, hopefully my taste buds will adjust because I'm not throwing these out!

The hunger also fades overtime!

I tried so many different Protein shakes. It was a little pricey but I found some that I could tolerate much better than other ones. Its such a personal taste thing though. I like the Bariatric Advantage Orange Cream and banana. They were both good. I also like the Pure Protein banana Creme ready to drink, in a can. Vitamin Shoppe makes a real good chocolate Mint. I am a vanilla guy, not a huge fan of chocolate but these things were amazeballs. whey Tech Pro 25 Chocolate Mint. Also, If you have not done this yet, its so worth it. nectar has a deal where you can get single serve sample packs of their flavors pretty cheap. You can only do it once, but gives you an opportunity to try their flavors.

I also used the protein powders in the plain oikos non fat yogurt. That helps get more protein in. I also liked the Isopure prtein drinks. Its not as thick, more like gatorade but its an acquired taste.

Hope these ideas can help.

Thank you everyone for your advice !! I'm trying to get as much Protein in as I can so that's why I chose the premiere. After this second drink and my yogurt I'll be at 75g for the day. Then I'll snack on Soup or something. I appreciate all the advice and support !

      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.
