I originally bought slim fast, and had to return, horrible after taste. With Premier I have tried and liked vanilla Cake Batter, chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Caramel. My sister loves the Latte one, but I haven't tried it yet. I found they tasted good and when I was tired, I heated the chocolate as hot cocoa and it was good, and fyi I do not even like chocolate lol.

Contact your dietician about managing your diabetes while on the liquid diet (pre & post surgery). And also speak with the doctor who looks after your diabetes.

I’m not diabetic but it must be pretty easy to do as many others were diabetic too when they started.

As a diabetic, it's important to closely monitor your blood sugar levels and work with your healthcare provider to manage them effectively. Avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages and drinking Water can help prevent sudden drops in blood sugar. Premier Protein, although it's not the best quality Protein, offers several Protein Drink options that are free from caffeine, including their shakes in Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavors. Additionally, it may be helpful to eat small, frequent meals and Snacks throughout the day to maintain stable blood sugar levels. It's important to work with your healthcare provider to develop a plan that works best for you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
