It's good that you called your doctor, you can't be too careful. I think once you get to where you can get an ample amount of liquids in you, you will feel much better.

Let me know what he tells you.

If he wants you to have Protein, try one of the clear Protein Drinks if you can't handle the regular ones. I used the New Whey protein bullets, but some doctors don't like them. Lots of people use Isopure.< /p>

I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (unjury.com) unflavored. I mix it with skim milk and sugar free carnation instant Breakfast. It's thin enough to go down even when I'm tight and packs about 35 grams of Protein.

You should be trying to get at least 60 grams a day.

Hope you're feeling better today.

Please don't be scared. I live away from my hometown for work and I know what you mean about having friends or a person nearby that is going through the same thing as you. I started looking and posting videos on YTube and that helps me. I know that it is not for everyone but it was easy for me to meet others that are going through the same experience. I've also found this site helpful. If you have questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask. Wishing you all the best.

      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.
