hi. it seems to me most people here buy ready made juice from the market. i juice fruits myself, i think its a much better way and much safer in the calorie sence

I wasn't aware that "most people here" drink juice. Whether you make it fresh or buy it, it is still full of sugar. It isn't recommended by my program.

The only juice I drink is V8.

I never drink fruit juices. I do eat fresh fruit. Juice just concentrates the sugar.

My first week was clears (with a couple of exceptions allowed by my surgeon). The priority is Protein and fluids.

I liked ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates.

Some people like Isopure.

Syntrax nectar.

Bone broth/broth (bone broth has more protein) or bouillon.

I was also allowed Premier Protein and ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups even though they aren't technically clear.

By the second week, I was on full liquids. I did have an occasional V8 then just for variety.

Check with your program to see what you are allowed.

If you feel you must have juice, make sure it is very diluted.

      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.
