You may want to try different brands of Protein as well...they all taste different.....also if you mix a little sf/ff pudding in with your shakes that might add a little something that you feel you are missing from using the skim milk.Plus there are a lot of sf syrups out there that can really enhance the flavors in a shake. I like to mix: 145cal/3 carbs/20 protein 1/2 oz sf carmel 1/2 oz sf vanilla 2-3 oz skim milk 3-4 oz favoite coffee (mine is the butter toffee by keurig) 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored Protein Powder blenderize with lots of ice Taste like the iced coffees from starbucks Another is: about 150 cal/ 6 net carbs/ 20 protein 1 oz SF vanilla syrup or SF pumpkin pie syrup 1/2 tsp rum extract 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice 2 oz canned pumpkin (not pie filling) 1 TBS SF/SF French Vanilla pudding 4- oz skim milk 1 scoop protein Blenderize with a little ice--if its too thick, thin with a little Water

Ughh its horrible. Today i mixed up a different mix for my protein shake and it really wasnt that bad and i havent gotten sick yet. And you know ive asked two ppl who have had the surgery how theyre two preop diet went and both of them said that they didnt even do the diet at all. So idk if i should just give up on the diet and start it after the surgery or keep going with this.

For whatever your Doc's reason might be, you need to follow his guidelines. You wouldn't want to go into surgery and wake up to find he didn't do the procedure because he felt your liver was still too large or some other issue due to not following his pre-op plan. I have read some posts on here that had that happen. Just keep cramming more fluids in to fill you up. Eat some SF Popsicles. Try some Protein shakes....they fill you up more. Only 9 more days and you're there. Don't sit around thinking about food. Go out and busy yourself to pass the time faster. As the saying goes........if everybody else can do it.....you can too.

This is ridiculous!!! I don't understand why each dr is so different! There's no possible way that I can survive on liquid for 9 more days!!! I've eaten my weight in sf jello today and I'm absolutely starting!!! Is it that terrible to have a salad w/ protein for dinner???

Raise your hand if you have/had a low-carb (not liquid) pre-op diet
cruzn replied to incolorado's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My MDs diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery include: 10 oz lean protein/day 2 servings of fruit 2+ servings vegetables at least 64 oz water/day no grains at all and no Protein suplements before. -
looks like it says meal and not meat. I was thinking on another page it gave u healthy meal options.
-
It looks common for those allowed to actually eat in the pre-op phase (I was liquids only for 2 weeks). Typically they want you to eat a lean protein source for that meal, so ideally something like chicken with your salad or veggies.

My pre-op is in day 8, surgery scheduled the 24th of April. My diet is completely different: 3-4 protein shakes a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and may have one in the evening) and water, broth, sugar-free crystal lite. I had headaches the first few days and blamed it on caffeine withdrawal. Did you drink colas or coffee or tea previously?
-
Thanks for your reply! ???? Are you on your pre-op diet now too or have you already had your surgery done? I was thinking of doing Protein shakes as meal replacers (which we're allowed to go too) and then eating a low carb/high protein dinner. What shakes do you use? Thanks again!

My Pre op diet consists of 4oz cooked Protein, 4oz frozen or fresh vegetables,4oz fresh or frozen fruit, 8oz non fat or 1% milk or plain low fat yogurt. So to spread it out through the day this is what i've been doing. Breakfast-1oz string cheese, 2oz apple slices. Mid morning 8oz Protein Drink w/non fat milk. Lunch-1 1/2oz grilled chicken, 2oz green Beans. Mid afternoon 8oz protein drink w/water Dinner-1 1/2 oz chicken OR fish, 2oz green beans, 2oz orange OR apple slices. My last meal is at 6pm..oh, and drink lots of Water. My pre op appointment is this friday the 12th and i assume they will tell me to start my liquid diet 2 days before my surgery. I've also been getting headaches and sweating for some reason..the sweating is on and off..i don't know what that's all about.

my pre-op wasn't liquid. it was 3 meals of 3 oz of Protein, 1 cup cooked veggie or 2 cup raw veggie, 1 starch (1 slice toasted whole grain bread less 80 cals/ 5 saltines/1/2 c beans/ 1/2 c squash/yams) for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was same, except had 1/2 c fruit and 1/2 c cooked veg. get 64 oz liquids. wait 1 hour to drink after eat, 10 minutes to eat after you drink. no beverages with more than 20 cals/8oz, no carbonated beverages, no caffeine, no straws, no gum. it i ended up losing almost 50 pounds.

So upset... 2wks out
Babbs replied to krazibabigirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your body is going to do what it's going to do. I think 9 pounds is fine. Remember, you still may be all bloated from the surgery. Stay the course, keep getting all your fluids and Protein, and you'll lose just fine at your own pace. You'll see. -
If you are drinking protein shakes that are sweet could you try Chicken Broth (just liquid no veg) which would be warm and salty?
-
Sounds like an allergic reaction. I would switch to a different type of protein shake. Or even go with the no sugar carnation instant breakfast for a day or so. Call your doctor see what he/she says.

Welcome to the site! I'm in the middle of my six month diet program. It's been good so far. I've met with the NUT three times and I'm now switching over to my PCP to finish it out. (My NUT is leaving to have a baby.) My PCP got sleeved last year so he's a big advocate of it and will fill out the form dating back to my physical in January, so it's basically cutting two months off the process! I'm glad my insurance requires this program. It gives me time to adapt and adjust to what my new lifestyle will be so I don't get hit with everything at once. I'm working on not drinking during meals, trying different Protein powders/drinks and adding exercise. It will be over before you know it and you'll be on the loser's bench! Good luck.

I'm 17 days post op on a mushy/ Protein diet. My surgeon does not do a purée stage. I have hot flashes after I eat my protein. It's almost immediately after my meal and lasts about 10-15 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

September 2nd - Super Nervous!
Jennifer Cunningham posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I only have a few more days - I just found out my surgery time and when I have to be there - But I have a question - My diet says 1 week Clear liquids? Does this mean I can't have any Protein shakes that week? -
I'm on day 13. I don't have a routine. I prefer the shakes to the broth. I've had broth a few times but not daily. I wrote down the nut info for all the different products I have and then mix and match to get the right amount of Protein and carbs every day. Don't forget the carbs! I'm allowed 30-50 grams (30 is the minimum). When I started the pre-op diet, I wasn't getting enough and was so fatigued. Now I am doing better with them. Still fatigued but not as much. After 5 days, my stomach seemed to get used to not eating and it was much better. I still have hunger every day, but not really bad. Tell yourself that this diet is an indicator for how well you will do post-surgery. The better you do sticking to it - the better your results will be. I've been there and now I can clearly see the end of the road in front of me.

Hi all~ Hope everyone is well! Here's my 1st question~I havent gone to my sugeon yet (nxt wk) but was banded by him and had it removed a few yrs ago. Now I want the sleeve cause I gained about 100 back. I have united healthcare through OXFORD and when I read up on their site yesterday, I saw something about a 6 month dieting log or something like that. Really??!! I didnt have to do that w/ the band (2003) so how do you do this? If I could diet this weight off why would I opt for surgery?! How exactly does that work? I wonder if being I was banded for a good 6/7 yrs and had it off for 2 yrs now if I still would need to go through this 6 month WAIT because I need a diet log. Like what...6 months of weight watchers?? Geeeezzzzzzz!! When I was banded yrs ago and had to do Protein shakes, I used Isopure (chocolate) it has 65 grams protein. I would put 6 oz skim milk into blender add the Isopure and bottoms up. I think many used Water instead of milk but the milk made it taste better + gave me Calcium. I relly haven't read anything about Isopure on this site and wonder why. Also, I was told that your body cant absorb more than 30 (ish) grms of protein at ONE time so anything more than 30 grams is wasted and that you should have it twice aday. Anyone heard of this??? I appreciate any/all the help

hair loss happens to most of us. The severity is definitely different with each person. I am a mild case because I am getting in all my Protein and probably just lucky. I also take Biotin daily and use Revita shampoo and conditioner. This shampoo does not stop hair loss but is a follicle stimulator which helps the hair to begin growing quicker. It has helped me a lot and can be bought on Amazon. Another thing you can do is take zinc. You might start the biotin and zinc now to get your hair in a healthier state. Good luck to you.

Make a hearty Soup - something with meat or chicken in it and some heavier vegies - like carrots, swedes etc, you know, the real is it a stew or is it a soup type of soup. Then blend it all up and Water it down as much as you need to with extra broth. Liquids only means that it has to go up a straw, it does not mean you cant have real foods rather than Protein shakes and Jello all the time. One night when my family had roast lamb, I even blended up lamb and vegies with broth - it was fantastic!

I have a history of kidney stones. It's important to find out what it's made of. Strain your urine to catch it for analysis. From there, a doctor can recommend additional treatment options for prevention. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Is your preop diet all liquid? I was able to do a Protein shake in the morning with fat free milk, a Protein Bar for lunch (Quest bars are good) a shake for snack then dinner which I stuck to chicken and fish with a mix veggie or broccoli. I would suggest cutting out one meal not and doing a Protein Shake replacement to get use to the process. I did three weeks of the preop diet. I did two shakes a day and for dinner ate what I wanted but not a overload of food. That was for the first week.

Carb / Protein / Fat %'s
GotItDoneInHarlem replied to Elaraye's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Rules I lived by in the early days: 80 grams of Protein as your goal 64 oz of liquids (sugar free popsicles count!) Keep sugar under 10g per serviing Choose low or non-fat products I tracked all my food and if I saw that the combination of fat and carbs was going above 50% of my total caloric intake I'd slow down on carbs and replace with protein.
