Geesh what brand of Protein? I hope it isn't the one I've stocked up on and sitting on my "you are going to need THIS later" shelf, the one where the chips, pretzels, Crackers and Boxed Cookies used to live. Spill the Beans please?😩

Its Premier, however, it won't be a problem for you....just pre op only.

Who cancelled the ready-to-drink? What do you mean "didn't cover enough carbs"? I don't think I've seen anyone on the board who couldn't drink the ready-to-drink if they wanted to.

When I went in for my last visit before surgery, they told me. It's only pre op. They said I could drink post op. The person that schedule my surgery told me. We had been going over the process, procedure, and so on. I told her I purchased two cases of the RTD and she said, oh, they just took that off the list but I could drink the Premier powder.

Listen, I don't know my head from a whole in the ground when it comes to this stuff...that why I am here. Im learning as I go and just reading this wonderful information you guys plug is a blessing. I can try to get more details for you but that is just what they told me

Please don't think we're critiquing what you said, we're all learning and you said something we hadn't heard before so our little ears perked up! B)

      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.
