So I got the zero carb bottles-- there's flavors like blue raspberry, orange etc. The dietician told me some people add a little Water post op just cause they're a little much, but they're a great way to get your Protein. I've tried the orange mango & it wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either.

I've used isoprure bottles that has 40 grams of Protein when I had my sleeve. By itself it taste awful I mean awful. I added a packet of crystal light and made sure it was ice cold and it was decent. I can say what I loved before surgery the first time around I hated after surgery. Be open to trying different ones and don't buy too much of anything before surgery as you will be surprised how different your taste buds are after surgery. I read how that happened to folks but didn't think it would happen to me and low and behold it was 1000% true lol.

Hi all. Hope you are all feeling good. Today is day nine of my pre op diet. I am feeling very weak and lightheaded. My sugar is currently 159. I really feel like crap.

So sorry to hear that. Maybe give your surgeon a call and see what he/she has to say.
My day has been full!!! Spring cleaning and getting something's organized!!! Room by room. But boy I will go crazy once I get to my closet. I want to put all my clothes in order by size so it'll be easier as I move on down.
I'm just trying to keep myself busy so I don't start freaking out too much. I'm an over thinker and a worrier[emoji30]

Pretty good--couple of minor cheats but nothing outrageous. Hope you have done well.

I'm on day 6 and somehow managed not to slip up! I have between 3-4 Premier Protein shakes a day and loads of Chrystal light.

This all feels so sudden despite the 7 month wait lol

Lucky you that you only have to do liquids today. My doctors don't require the bowel purge! I don't have to do that. I was shocked and elated.

I had a few cheats. Nothing too bad. But, yay me, I woke up with my period today and surgery is tomorrow. Ugggg

      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.
