If you're not on any specific Protein Shake and are looking for one that tastes great! Try Jay Robb, they are low in calories, fat and carbs but high in Protein. www.jayrobb.com! They taste fantastic! I use them with some psyllium husk powder which keeps your regular. I PROMISE this will be work your struggles. Short term struggles for a LONG TERM gain!! :thumbdown: Good luck to all of you!! :thumbdown: :tongue_smilie:

I have surgery 7/31 and I start my pre-op diet on the 17th. I wanted to get a head start but my doctor did not suggest a Protein drink, only for me to cut my carbs and a list of food to have and some in moderation. Should I try the Protein Drinks instead to help me shrink my liver?

      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.
