LAPBAND JOURNEY - DAY 4 OF PRE OP DIET

JAN. 6, 2011- THURSDAY - WELL I GOT UP THIS AM NOT WANTING TO DRINK MY CHOCOLATE BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE PROTEIN SHAKE. YUK - I EVEN ADDED A WHOLE SMALL BANANA AND SOME ICE AND PUT IT IN THE BLENDER. STILL YUK! BUT I GOT IT DOWN. OH MAN - I HAVE TO DO 3 OF THESE A DAY PLUS 2 OF THE PROTEIN BARS WHICH ARE JUST AS BAD. I WANT MY LEAN CUISINE 200 CAL DINNERS BACK. THEY WERE SO TASTY AND MUCH MORE SATISFYING. BUT NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM. NEED TO SHRINK THE LIVER FOR THE BAND OPERATION ON 1/17. SO I HAVE TO SUCK IT UP! LOL TOOK 1 WALK TODAY WITH MY HUSBAND OUTSIDE - WALKED 2 BLOCKS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. GONNA GO TAKE ANOTHER WALK I THINK THIS EVENING BY MYSELF. IT WILL GET MY MIND OFF OF THE CRAPPY SHAKES I HAVE TO DRINK! CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ALL TO BE OVER AND BE ABLE TO EAT REAL FOOD AGAIN ONLY BETTER CHOICES OF COURSE. LOW CALORIES HIGH PROTEIN LOW FAT MEALS. I LEARNED MY LESSON HOPEFULLY!!! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE - IF IT TASTE GOOD - IT'S NO GOOD FOR YOU! LOL

Is there any way you can select a different drink? I drink EAS Myoplex Lite and have been for 13 months and still love it. I am not a breakfast person so that is why I still drink one a day! I had a two week pre-op that was 3 shakes a day with nothing else. No cheating. I agree with Amy..if you want it bad enough you CAN do it! You have to find a drink because you have to do the drinks whenever you get a fill. I know Bklynike (one of the supporters on here) she disliked all of the drinks as well...she came up something similar that worked. You might want to touch base with her and suggest it to your doctor?? Just a thought. Good luck with your journey!!!

Oh one last thought..are these premixed or are you mixing them?? Do you keep them in the frig or are you drinking them room temp?? Mine are premixed and I keep them in the frig..they have to be super cold but you cant freeze them.
