My wife put her Protein Shakes in the freezer about 1/2 hour and she said it was kind of like drinking a milk shake. Also go to GNC and check out there 100% whey Protein power they have some really good flavors.

Good luck, and if I can do this I know you can because I'm the weakest person I know when it comes to eating. Was banded on 7/11/07 and I'm down 40 Lbs. post op and 61 Lbs. total.

Aloha

Dee Dee,

How bad do you want this? Start over...this time make sure you drink your slim fast, drink lots of Water, sugarfree drinks, after three days I was allowed to have a small green salad...I had to give up one slim fast to eat that, but it is so worth it...and remember fat free dressing...YOU CAN DO THIS....HANG IN THERE....IT WILL GET EASIER...

<p>It has been X amount of days and the pre-op diet did get easier after day 3... until today. I have no idea what came over me, maybe it was the fact that in 3 days I can no longer eat as much as I can now but I PIGGED out!! UGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! My tummy hurts, I am gonna gain 5 pounds I know it! Now I am fearful that Dr. Ortiz won't perform the surgery becuase of bad judgement and weakness on my part. So I now have 3 days to loose... dare i say it...8 pounds!!! Now realistically I know that won't happen but I will try to loose something. Somebody say something to make me feel better..ugggg. I was down to 217 now I am back to 222 starting at 224. My scale flucuated a lot so now I can't trust the scale! Lesson Learned..DON'T TRUST THE SCALE!!!</p>

So I begin my 10 day pre-op diet and it only lasted a couple of hours. I feel a little pathetic, then again I am living on LIQUIDS! You have got to be kidding me. I tell myself I am doing this for my health and sanity...but DAMN this liquid thing sucks. Now I am second guessing my decision to go through with this. I need guidance and a little motivation. Does anyone have suggestions to make the pre-op diet easier?

BANDSTERS UNITE..sista in trouble :help:

Thx,

Dee Dee

Dee Dee.....It's ok to suck, just don't swallow.

I'm kidding of course! There were just sooooooo many ways we could go with the " I suck " statement! Thought I'd add a little levity!

      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.
