Premier Protein banana flavor is good so far

I bought a few Protein mixes from my Dr's office. My favorite is by New Direction and is Mocha flavor. I think right now the hardest part is that everyone around me at work seems to love food. They talk about it and eat through out the day. Doesn't help that yesterday and today there are celebrations going on in my office. BUT I am doing good so far!

Have been doing well on the liquid diet, but so tempted to cheat especially since I have to cook for the family. Huh

@@pamelap I feel your pain! The last couple of days have been extra tough. I have set up the family to cook for themselves this week. Surgery is one week from today so it is the halfway point in liquid diet (thank God!). I've found I'm ok around uncooked food so coaching the cooks is working out. Others have to put food away. I just cannot. At least a dozen times I've stopped myself as I was moving food towards my mouth. Wearing my mouth guard helps. Having a Protein shake first helps. Otherwise I'm not allowing myself in the kitchen unless in control of my choices.

Totally feel the same, Jell-O helps, but wow sometimes you miss the crunchy stuff. The struggle is real, lol????

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powders are pretty good for basic shakes. If you call Syntrax you can get a sampler package of all their nectar flavors...its like 15 of them, I think. It only costs 16.99 and it gives you a chance to step away from the garden variety Protein drinks.

My surgery is next week and Im currently on my preop diet, luckily Im not just restricted to liquids for the whole thing. I would have had to slept the whole two weeks cuz I'd have been miserable...well more so than I already am. God I miss bread! Lol! Good luck to you all.

The struggle is completely real. I think the worst part for me is the lack of energy. I hope this passes quickly!

It was around the 6th day that my head was not a problem. No real headaches or pain - just a desire to eat something. I have 4 days left. You can do it.. Keep your mind busy!!! Pokemon Go has helped me!

I am just starting my Pre op stuff I was approved yesterday! My biggest problem is my head! it won't shut up. It keeps saying just one bite won't hurt. But, it was the same for quitting smoking. Which I had to do for this. 8 weeks smoke free. I was a 46 year smoker!

@@Sharyn You are on the right path. I have had dreams of dancing avocados, & ricotta. Sworn I smell chicken Soup in dreams. And each day after the 6th it gets easier.

The liquid diet is extremely tough for me in the evenings for some reason. I only have another week and a half until surgery date August 9th with Dr. Primomo. Good luck to everyone!
