Maybe you've been such a good girl you've hit the dreaded 3-week stall 9 days early. Keep on what you're doing right, once your body "catches its breath" you will resume losing again. Have your measurements gotten smaller,? even those NSV (non scale victories) are something to feel proud of. You are an example to all the "newbies" who yearn to be like you and someday they will be. Smile, you're still traveling on the road to better health![emoji12]

I bought the chocolate premiere but I’m tired of it am i supposed to drink 1 whole one for bfast ? Or is that too much ?




It’s medicine. Drink it anyway.

Yup a whole one for Breakfast and probably lunch and dinner. That’s 90g Protein which puts you just about right!

I switched from the chocolate flavor to the banana flavor. In my program they teach us that eatling all day, any amount is not good, and they have some term for it, and that you should be have food into three meals and two Snacks. And the same with the Protein Drinks.< br>
Post op instructions are to stop drinking clear 30 minutes before, and resume 45 minutes after the "meal.". We are told to drink in increments of 2-3 ounces for each meal/snack over 20 minute period until we can tolerate the whole drink. Then sip Water test of day.

One drink a day is going to be bad for you long term. That is why the diet was extended. What I do is start the day with a Premier Protein drink so I get it in early. I am able to drink a whole container in 20 minutes. I then wait 45 and start water.

You need to start just taking bigger swallows until you can tolerate an amount over smaller time period.

      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.
