Double shot of espresso, over ice, in a venti cup. One pump of a sugar free Syrup (currently loving Cinnamon Dolce) and pour in a Premier Protein. I have one for Breakfast almost every day. Caffeine, 30g of Protein, and easy/portable (which is great with 3 preschool age kids!!).

I ask what sugar free syrups they have available and that is how I would base my starbucks drink before surgery since I am diabetic too. They could have a sugar free lemonade base but I doubt it - it seems they stick with only main flavors like vanilla.

Caffeine won't bother your stomach, acid will. So early on post-op, cold brew or espresso are the best options. Their roasting process of their Beans is very high acid, so brewed coffee is a no no.

      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.
