I just started using them. Anything that I don't have to swallow solid is great for me.

Just curious if you like them and if they are worth the $$. And if your surgeon/dietician approved of them.

Re: Barimelts...had pre-op with Surgeon, Registered Dietician, Nurse Anesthetist...they said Barimelts in general are fine. They said take them as directed for 3 months, we’ll check blood levels to be sure I’m getting what I need. I know we’re all different, but/and hope this helps you!

Thanks for asking. It just so happens the dietician at my surgeons office called me this morning about something non related and I asked her. She said they were fine to use.

Hoooray! Now we have 2 green lights! Enjoy, they are (to me) the Best...I’ve heard others say the opposite, but very easily tolerated here. Good luck!

      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.
