How are you guys (who are getting very close) doing on the liver diet? Are you drinking a lot of Protein shakes, or real food? I am newly appreciating no-carb foods like mackerel, herring, tuna that are so portable for lunch at work and camping.

I've been taste-testing various shakes and am gagging at all the chemicals and sucralose! Any suggestions? Maybe after surgery I'll start a line of shakes with savory flavors: nacho cheese, potato/broccoli, curry, miso, blue cheese, buttered popcorn, tomato/spinach, ranch, carrot... Not really kidding!

I've found powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor mixed with milk to be bearable. That's the only one though. It doesn't contain aspartame or other artificial flavors which is why I think I can tolerate it.

It is very exciting and nervewracking. I got my call this week, I am being sleeved on June 17th in Columbus. I wish you the best.

Does anyone feel nervous realizing how close their surgery is? Someone asked me today since it's 3 weeks away, was I worried. For the first time ever, I thought about it and got worried!!!

I can honestly say my anxiety is increasing daily. I have 11 days to go. My dreams are even starting to be about surgery. Last night it was that there were 6 people ahead of me and I never got taken back to the OR. I just want it to happen!!

Not true. That brand has sucralose (Splenda): whey Protein Isolate, Fructose, Cocoa powder (Alkali Processed), Natural Flavors, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Sea Salt, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Potassium Chloride.

Vega brand uses "natural" stevia but that tastes just as bad as the artificial stuff, to me.

Thank you! I hope that yours goes well too! I'm near Cleveland and my surgeon is Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir at Lake Health in Willoughby.

      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.
