Well I'm using bariatric advantage. I've just had my second shake. A little too sweet for me. I'm not really hungry, but I will admit I would love to eat something. I'm drinking water and cleaning my house t o stay busy a nd not think about eating. Hang in there.

Hi MB40buf, I'm on the 18th. I start the liquid diet today. Yes, I'm nervous about the liquid diet. My doctor wants me to lose 23 lbs. Crazy. How are you doing withth the shakes so far?

So you compared to going to the dentist. I've had three open stomach surgeries, but I'm still SO nervous about getting my sleeve. Thanks for the post, I just want it to be over. But I guess we all do. Blessings.

Hi, Jenna. Sorry about the first post. Tablet was acting up. Welcome and I wish you all good things with your journey.

I am July 14th too but in Buffalo NY! My liquid diet starts tomorrow. hi, I'm in Brooklyn NY. I start liquid tomorrow also. My preop is Monday. I wish you all the best.

So you were not asked to give up coffee? I was told by the nutritionist to give it up because it causes dehydration. My doctor called. She wants me on the shakes only and to nibble on celery and carrots if I get hungry. My shakes add up to 450 cals. This is crazy! She did not give a calorie amount. She stated I would get what I needed from the shakes then my body would use the excess fat. So wish me luck. Coffee makes me happy. I don't want yo be a cranky b..ch to my 16 yr old son. It's enough that I suffer f rom iinsomnia AND have a teenager!

My first week is between 1100-1300 calories. My last week is 900-1000 calories. Then day before surgery is clear liquids only. Like This Thanks. I called my surgeon yesterday and left a message for her to call me. Hopefully when she does return the call I will post what she said. She wants me to lose 10% of my body weight, which is 23 pounds. I'm nervous about doing the shakes and losing the amount of weight she wants me to lose. I'm an addicted coffee drinker and still have not given up coffee. Help!!!

Does anyone know the calorie limit for the two weeks while doing the protein shakes? My surgeon wants me to have three per day, but I didn't ask my calorie limit. I would like to mix with unsweetened almond milk and add a small amount of natural peanut butter.

Congrats on getting your date. I wish you blessing on your journey.

Was approved over the phone in one day and will have surgery on July 18th. I'm excited and trying to keep my anxiety down. I've had three c sections and an open repair surgery, so I'm hoping I'll handle this well. Received my protein shakes yesterday. Will try one tomorrow. Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel like my desire to eat is already decreasing. Anyone experienced this?

Hi, so which shakes did you finally settle on? I thought Unjury products were well liked.
