Hi,

In the begining, I ordered Isopure Protein Drinks from GNC, they are fruity like and they don't taste half bad, and come in 4-5 flavors. I also bught EAS chocolate [protein mix from costco, the flavor I could handle. I sometimes drink Low carb slim fast when I am on the run or out of town. I don't drink any other slim fasts becasue they are low in Protein and high in sugar, which isn't good for diabetics. Recently I went to DS Nutrician and bought Myolean, Peanut Butter cup flavor. I dont care for it as much but I can tolorate the flavor. I did pick up some great Protein Bars. Power Crunch, peanut butter fudge and supreme Protein that is awsome. Gerry is great there he is so knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have.

I need to really start exercising more, with this hot hot weather I have been slacking off.

who's doing your surgery?

I am having it done in West Hills by Dr Sergey Lyass. They are opening an office in Bakersfield, but I didn't want to wait. I am heading to GNC this weekend. Where is DS Nutrition I haven't heard of that

DS Nutrition is at 4701 White lane.

I am looking for a fill DDr as my fills cost $350.00 right now and I have great insurance but my Dr bills out of network and insurance wont cover it when they bill that way. So hubby is like, find a new Dr so we can use this insurance.

      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.
