Just tried the Syntax nectar Protein Powder for their caramel macchiato and it tasted amazing! Just like coffee!! Highly recommend for anyone trying to find Protein Shakes they like.

Oh man, I'm so jealous of all the Americans who have access to great products (not much here in rural Ireland).

Can anybody from UK or IRL recommend the PhD Smart shakes? I haven't found sample sizes.

Well, sigh, yes. But postage rates are through the roof. I wanted to order a sample of BariatricPal's cinnamon swirl Protein powder which was €3. Postage was €48. *gulp*

I'm an October sleever as well! Just waiting for confirmation on a tentative surgery date of October 11th. Still having trouble believing it's actually going to happen. Not all nervous about having surgery...I've had so many in the last 4 years. However, I am anxious about life after surgery and being successful.

Good luck to all of you October sleevers. October 16th will mark my one year anniversary, and I'm ecstatic with the results so far, high weight of 347, and 178.2 as of this morning. It is a life changing procedure, and I am so glad to have made the decision to go through with it. In the blink of an eye, you too will be at your 1 year, asking yourself, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

Sending well wishes and good luck to all those who are scheduled in October. I am officially two weeks post-op myself. I am excited to read about everyone’s journey and experiences!

      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.
