vitamin patches work for some but not others. I've never tried them since I'm afraid I'd be one of the people they won't work for; however, I've considered getting some to take on trips so I won't have to lug a bunch of Vitamin bottles with me. Even if I'm one of the unfortunate ones they don't really work for, a week or two is not going to do much (if any) harm. But some people do swear by them and use them all the time.

Protein shakes: people's tastes are all over the board. I love Syntrax powders. Some people don't. A lot of people like ready-to-drink Premier Protein shakes. I can't stand them. The best thing to do, if possible, is get a bunch of samples of different brands to see which ones you like. There are some sampler packets on BariatricPal's store, I believe. Then you won't waste a lot of money paying $30 or $40 for a big tub of something that you end up not liking.

      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.
