Today is my first day of the shakes. The chocolate was awesome! Kept me full for 4-5 hours. The strawberry which I am having now kinda stinks. I don't like it. I can't wait to See how much weight I will lose! Anyone else starting pre op?

What brand r u using?

Adkins Advantage. The chocolate is pretty good.

Good luck everyone! This is the hard part. Remember to keep drinking your Water between all of the Protein or other items allowed on your preop. Get used to getting 64 ounces of liquids each day. So don't wait too long to get started in the morning. Even the water will help you feel full.

I liked Bariatric Advantage choc mixed with Fortress super adv whey protein vanilla and strawberry (from Walmart). I mixed and matched in a small blender. I also liked the premixed Premier Protein choc from Sam's Club.

Keep up the great work. I am out almost nine months and down 122 pounds. You can do it!

the mocha flavor is good and the vanilla one is also good

It looks like I lucked out- my dr. has me on the Atkins diet (which I've done a few times), so it's been pretty easy. My mind is playing tricks on me and telling me I'm starving tho- gotta work on the mind control. Most if the time it's just thirst disguised as hunger anyways right? 4lbs down in 3 days eating bacon and pork rinds- something isn't right about that but I'll take it! Surgery on 10/26- soooo nervous!!

On my way to the hospital I think I'm kind of nervous.
