Congrats! I had to take a class with a nutrionist. It was very good, she told me what I will eat on my pre op diet, after the surgery through like 6 weeks. There was information about the surgery before and after, medication before and after. I was approved on July 7th and just finished all of my pre op test and now I am waiting for a date. The main thing in Protein I've started testing a few she had on her list so I'll be ready for my pre op diet. It's taken awhile for my taste buds to adjust so I am glad I've had this time to adjust

I am glad I am not the only one trying out Protein Shakes ahead of time. Every time someone posts a new one I get dressed and go shopping!! So far Gen Soy (unflavored Soy Protein with Hershey's Syrup added to skim milk) is horrible and I am not thrilled with any of the Unjury packs I have tried. The EAS Advantage (best price Walmart) isn't too bad. I am going to try the Isopure soon, can't find the Cytosport anywhere in this town. Also can't find the Slim Fast Carb control.

I think Target has Cystort Protein I have not tried it yet, Have tried the Protein Shots, I mis it with crystl lite. I have used the SlimFast Optima powder. chocolate I add milk a couple icecubes and splenda packets and blend kinda makes a thick frosty shake.The vanilla pwder I put in frozen strwberrys and mix with the milk, not to bad.

Way to go! Keep us posted on what they taste like. I haven't started trying any just in case I am not approved by 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.
