I'm having a heck of a time losing the weight pre op..., I read other suggestions here that I should go ahead and start the hi protein low cal diet now, so I just got back from the health food store I bought a blender bottle and some unflavored Whey protein powder, also some samples of other stuff. But it's all fruit, chocolate, vanilla flavored. I was looking for UNJURY chicken flavor, but they never even heard of it there. So I need to search for a place that sells it.I'm following my diet (1200) and exercising ... (ran a mile in 10 minutes, Wii fit for 2 hours and got 5 stars on Michael Jackson Experience Thriller on "Inhuman" level). and still gained a pound.My doctor is just enough of a stickler to postpone my May 5th surgery. Also, what keeps you from being hungry when you go on all liquids?

unjury.com is where i buy my Unjury stuff. I am not sure that you can buy it in any store.

Good luck to you!!

You can only get unjury online. I was really hungry on my preop liquids -especially the first day. I even had a hunger headache. I just kept thinking of another member of this site that gained on the preop diet and the surgeon postponed her surgery. Stick with it -You can do this!

The first day of pre op diet is hard, really hard because you are breaking the carb addiction and lower calories and fat. It does get easier, by day 3 you will be fine.

This is a sore subject for me since I had a lot of trouble losing preop weight and my doctor postponed my surgery too. After that I totally gave up carbs. No pasta, no fruit, not even whole grain bread. I was not fun to live with during this time. I would pace around the kitchen and know that I couldn't do it, or else I'd never get the surgery. I did make sure I got lots of protein with a chocolate whey protein and skim milk shake. It tastes pretty good, and is filling. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the replies... Heather, Cheri, Kelly and "FatBGone" I think I may quit the carbs ahead of time too. I am definitely a carbaholic.

This is kinda scary though, isn't it? I mean, If it were this easy for me to lose weight, would I even need this surgery?

I thought the part where I quit smoking after 35 years would be the hard part... little did I know...

I've lost 35 lbs doing low carb no sugar, which to me is easier than the shakes. I know I will have to do liquids pre-op and post-op so I don't wanna do that until I just have to lol. It took but a few months to lose it and I've stalled for 4-5 months but hey, I'm not gaining. And I maintained thru the holidays without gaining which is a major accomplishment for me haha. I didn't feel deprived either. I actually feel like I've broke the stall now and maybe dropped a few more lbs but my battery went out on my scales, But I feel so much better already, can't wait til I lose more with the sleeve!!! Good luck to you!!

Thanks Kelly,Congratulations on your weight loss...

I need to figure this out quick as I go on all liquids on the 20th of April.

I went to a Herbalife Nurticenter today and got a shake, the first sip wasn't bad, but as it progressed, it tastes like feet.
