The fairlife nutrition plan shakes are 150 calories and 30 G Protein. Maybe try those !! -

Yayy!! You are almost there🤗 I will keep you in my prayers most definitely. Fairlife are my favorite too. Does anyone know where to get the strawberry flavor? And broth I use kettle & fire Bone Broth. I also like the chicken boullions by herbox green container. They have low sodium options too! -

Same Carla, don't have the best support around here either. That's why I'm so glad to find this app & everyone is so nice! -

I felt (feel) the same way. I'm lucky in that I only have 8 days of liquid before surgery (I'm scheduled for this Friday). I've found a few things helpful in getting through this liquid diet:
Stay busy with non-food things. I went to work, cleaned our bathrooms, did outside yard work, went shopping / window browsing... Make a schedule of your liquids for the day. Like 8am: coffee with Protein Shake, 9am flavored water, 10am sugar free jell-o, 11am broth, etc.... It helps me to have "something" to look forward to and ensure I am drinking enough. If you have a family that you typically cook for, ask for help from someone else to do the cooking, or have easy foods. My kids ate some easy convenience food this week; the less time I am in the kitchen, the better. Constantly sip on something. Chew gum if you can. I have found these to be good distractions at times. A lot of people say this is the hardest part of this whole thing. Not sure if that's true, but literally trying to avoid the kitchen and food as much as possible has helped me. I know that is not always possible for everyone, but if it is, I'd say to just avoid and know that this is NOT forever! Good luck

Honey - it gets easier; you’re almost through the difficult bit! Keep bury. Have a drink of Water when those phantom hunger pangs hit you. Take yourself out for a walk if you can. Keep telling yourself you got this because it’s only 2 weeks. I’ve just finished my liquid diet and I have my surgery today (it’s almost 2am here). Stay with it and stay strong with everything you have. It’s two weeks out of the rest of your life - you are on the road to living the life you have always imagined. you are a bright star 🌟 x

Congrats your surgery is so soon. Mines the 15th so we are close. And just started preop diet. I would say stock up on crystal light, propel, protein20 Water, and I like the fairlife chocolate shakes 30 G Protein. I also got some ultima which are just like liquid iv but no have no sugar. When you are feeling sluggish or no energy they help. -

You will do fine!! Key is to be prepared have all your non sugar drinks, popsicles, broths & shakes available for easy access. -
Danielle22 reacted to Jeanniebug in What was the moment/day you decided on WLS?
I think that the straw that broke the camel's back, was not being able to get into ketosis, despite fasting and eating very low carb for three weeks straight. I figured that my metabolism was broken at that point. I was diabetic, had high cholesterol, and my blood pressure was slowing creeping up. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I am packing to go to a business meeting and for the first time in a loooooooong time I'm excited and not panicking about what I am going to wear! It's an amazing feeling!
