Question I am still in the full liquid stage and was wondering if I can have a smoothie from smoothie king. They do not have sugar free smoothies because of the natural sugar in the smoothie I may choose. But I can choose not to add the added sugar they use to sweeten the smoothie plus I can add Protein.

Are you post op? I did not have the sleeve but I would be careful with the sugar in smoothies. Even if there is no added sugar it might be too much for your new pouch to handle.

I have been experiencing dumping syndrome. I tried a smoothie yesterday and that put me in the hospital. I would say not a great idea but I don't know how you are progressing.

Good choice! I looked it up and it is 0 grams of sugar without added fruit and very high in Protein.

I used the gladiator when I was out in town small one only not bad for lunch when you can't have food and it grows on you when all you have is liquids on three days out with my surgery Water is easy to take but the rest is hard for me to get down day by day it will get better

      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.
