I bought whey Protein in chocolate in the largest size at Walmart. I mix it with chocolate low fat Silk milk, a few ice cubes and sometimes a banana or strawberries in a blender. I make a blender full for the entire day. And for special treat I may add sugar free Chocolate fudge for a real thick one for lunch.

Since my dietician wants me to eat every 3 hours (6 am, 9am, noon, 3pm and 6pm), I have the shake at 6am, 9am and 3pm. It holds me over for mushy at noon and 6pm. And sometimes just a small 4 ounce around 8 or 9pm holds me over during those gotta have something sweet after dinner times.

And tonight I stopped at my favorite mexican restaurant and got a bowl of their chicken with rice Soup and a bag of their tortilla chips to go and when I got home I blended it in the blender with some tortilla chips. Then heat and serve with 1/2 an avocado, and I'm in heaven! I could only eat about 4 ounces of it so it turns a bowl of soup into three meals!

I haven't tried the vanilla yet. Bet it would be good with Silk Vanilla! And to mix in powdered pudding....who'da thought? Good idea! Can't wait to try it with pastachio!

Claification on my past post: I mix in sugar free chocolate icecream, or fudgsicles not fudge. I actually never liked fudge, yet I love chocolate. Odd that.

      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.
