Can you go back to two or three Protein Shakes per day with one other meal loaded with green veges and other non-starchy veges?

Can you limit your Snacks to a medium apple and a half-dozen nuts per day?

Can you drink six to ten tumblers of Water per day?

Which one you suggest?

Aldi Slim & Trim are 99.5% the same ingredients as Nestles Optifast VLCD but cost 40% less. (About 10%-15% sugar)

Isowhey (about 5% sugar is 35% fewer calories but nearly the same Protein load) can be bought as shakes in sachets or in a bulk 1.28kg (2.7 lb) container.

Optifast = $3 per serve

Aldi Slim & Trim = $2 per serve

Isowhey sachets = $1.90 per serve

Isowhey self-mix = $1.65 per serve

They all have chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, banana, coffee flavours. Isowhey and Optifast have banana. Optifast has a caramel.

Aldi Supermarkets for Slim & Trim.

Pharmacies/Drug-stores for Isowhey and Optifast.

The Isowhey website has great two pack discounts.

      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.
