I do drink the Isopure clear. Started those on my pre op diet. I have to mix it with Water because that after taste is a little harsh to me, but it is definitely a great change from normal Protein Shakes. And I even found Fairlife yesterday and bought two bottles. Thanks for all the suggestions and replies.

My suggestion and I know some will not agree with me, but put the scales up in the closet for now. Weigh only once a week at most, or every 2 weeks, especially while you are having regular visits with your Dr, weigh in there.

I agree totally!! I knew I'd be one to compare my loss to those of others, so I chose to stay off the scale in the beginning. The only time since surgery I was weighed was at my 2 week post op on April 7th. I wouldn't have done it yesterday, but I had a rough couple of days, mentally, so I'm trying to remind myself why I did this, I figured I'd step on to boost my spirits. It did anything but, so I took the batteries out of the scale and packed it deep, DEEP, inside my closet. Lol. Hopefully my next appt, at the end of May, will include the loss I so desperately long to hear.

Stick to your doctor's plan and it will!

      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.
