Day 7 I got some of the premiere shakes to give a try to me there not bad there is more Protein than in my eas shakes bit there a little bit thinner liquid ... thinner liquid I guess makes my brain think I got less of something idk I'm drinking down some Water now...gotta tighten up... I cheated yesterday it's my little ones bday weekend we did there cake and all yesterday headed to legoland today I have been pretty strict consuming less than what is on my allowed list however I had a small piece of cake my daughter who turned 8 really wanted me to and we'll....deep inside I wanted to lol ...so hopefully that wasn't a complete upset in the preop but I'm back to the strick grind Protein veggies water...they said I can use oil light dressing stuff like that but I'm choosing not to

progress starts in the mind

I am Day five in my preop liquid only surgery January 24, The worst part about it for me is the headache, i've had a screaming headache since I started, i'm thinking it's due to withdraw from sugar! I am doing the Premier Protein premade drinks it comes in five flavors, I do five a day which brings me to 800 cal and 150 Protein little high in the protein but dietitian said it's OK, at the start of the morning I put the five drinks in my lunch bag and when it's time to have a shake I dig my hand into the bag without looking and I get a surprise flavor of drink!! Got to make some fun out of it!! It keeps me full throughout the day but I still crave food and want to eat!

Hi "julia454", I'm having my procedure on the 25th. I'm on my 4th day of the liquid diet. I'm actually having 3 to 4 Protein shakes per day (2 scoops of whey powder protein w/8 oz almond milk), 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, and sugar free Jell-o, ice pops and plenty of Water. I like to infused my Water with lemon, ginger, mint. And very important, my surgeon has encouraged physical activities (3-4/week aerobics, strength training) which I have been following.

Full liquid can be challenging but with will power you will all make it. I used the Premire Pre Ready shakes. They are tasty and will give you what you need. Tip be sure to stay away from anything RED. It will stay in your system and during surgery your doc may think you are bleeding

      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.
