I've got a little bit longer than the rest of you since I'm right by Thanksgiving, but I already ordered the sample pack of Syntrax Nectar flavors so I can try them out and see what ones I like the best before my liquid diet, because it's too pricey to get big tubs of each of them! I've already tried some of the Premier Protein and that's a good one, too. Trying to get ready ahead of time so it won't but such a shock. My final pre-op meeting isn't until Nov 9, but my surgery was already approved! Now I'm just waiting on FMLA paperwork to come back in for work.

Hey there let us know about the Syntrax… I am doing Premier after surgery and was able to do It on Amazon monthly delievery subscribe and save so about 15% off which I am excited about, and also ordered some ensure Protein I was able to get a 24 pack for 30 which I didn't think was bad and my dr recommend pre surgery because lactose free.

Just got the approval today, I will have a set date in November on Monday!!! So very excited but nervous about the cost out of pocket. I was told I have to pay $2,800 up front. To meet deductible and coinsurance I think. Hoping for no cost after.

Got single packets of all 15 flavors in this sample bag. Just tried my first one today, went with the pink grapefruit. Not bad, did taste a little like juice. Mixes up way smoother with a drink blender instead of a shaker cup if you have one. No sugar, no carb, very low calories when you mix with Water. It's a whey isolate Protein, supposed to be high quality and lactose free. I might try mixing some of the flavors with skim milk and ice, some of the videos I've watched say they taste a lot like a milkshake.

I recently bought the Syntrax sweets vanilla bean tort and it is really good with some skim milk i sometimes add a little sf salted caramel Syrup or some PB2 and its a really good shake and a little something sweet for the sweet tooth

WOW!!! That is amazing, I have a toddler and a little nervous about recovery because she has a lot of special needs but this just made me feel very hopeful!! to say the least. It is awesome that you are doing this in a way together I am sure it will help you keep each other in check so to speak!

Congrats and Welcome! I think 2800 is fantastic but my insurance is covering nothing lol so I may be a little biased. The way my cost is broken down is anastesia (pre pay is cheaper) surgeon fee and then hospital fee. It is a great feeling to get that date though and know it is about to be a reality! Congrats!

      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.
