Seriously, try the Unjury chocolate. It tastes like chocolate milk and each shake has 21gm of Protein EACH. They ship really fast. I have tried five different brands and the Unjury is the one I know I will be able to keep down after surgery.

I'm getting sleeved on march 18th and today is the first real day of my pre-op diet. I'm really excited but I am STARVING! Does anyone have any suggestions or "free" food that is filling? Thanks y'all.

Jello is the only thing that help me through pre-op and I hate Jello but it got me full

Thanks Deborah

I will see if I can find them. Where did you get yours? Also I was wondering if the pre op diet was the worst part of the entire process?

Ok, so I cheated...a little. Last night I had a small salad and a small piece of plain baked chicken. I was feeling so crappy. It got me through the night. Hope I didn't mess up completely. Surgery is Monday. :)

I am on day four of my pre-op diet, and my surgery is on Monday! I've been drinking Water non-stop! Every now and then, I'll switch it up to some water down Powerade. As far as Protein, I ordered the Nature's Best vanilla Cream Extreme smoothies from www.vitacost.com. 35 grams of Protein per 11 oz can, and only six carbs! Tastes SO great! Doesn't have that yucky aftertaste like other Protein Shakes. I've been drinking two of those a days. I sometimes mix half of the EAS Advantage strawberry Low Carb Protein flavor with this just to mix it up. I've even mixed in a small spoonful of Peanut Butter as well! I've also been drinking plenty of hot tea! Vanilla Chai Tea, Bavarian Wild berry Tea, and Decaf tea. Also have had my share of chicken AND beef broth. Also had some watered down Tomato Soup. It hasn't been easy by all means, but I've gotten over the hump as far as cravings and such. I've lost 10 pounds since starting this so far! Trust me, it will be worth it! Just gotta keep pushing! :)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
