@planochick I had to travel for work on liquids. It’s not easy but a couple tips. I checked my suitcase and packed the single serve Horizon milks (1%) and packets of Unjury protein powder. Also bought yogurt at the airport and everywhere else I could and lots of Vitamin Water zero. There are also SF puddings that don’t require refrigeration. Packed some of those and SF applesauce in individual sizes. Hope that helps!

I am day 4 of my Pre-Op diet and I am beginning to question the purpose for a full liquid as opposed to high protein/ low carb diet. I am aware that the main purpose is to decrease the glycogen stores in the liver hence causing it to shrink. You are also suppose to loose some fat around the liver for a safer surgery. My issue is you can do the same without having to suffer such a limited diet the full liquid offers. My liquid diet allows me to have creamed soup which has 4g of carbs and 160 calories, as opposed to a can of tuna in water that I used to make a tuna salad using yogurt instead of mayo wrapped in lettuce leaves. That tuna salad meal was a total of 2g carbs and only 120 calories. Let me tell you, it tasted like a steak dinner after all the soup and broth consumed over the past 3 days. If I was allowed to eat like that for 2 weeks, the pre-op diet would be a piece of cake. You will also loose weight because your body will start to burn off its own fat stores when the liver's fat is used up. But to limit a person to all liquids for two weeks seems like a punishment, when there are more desirable choices that offer the same results. Why don't these doctors use the high protein/low carb diet as opposed to the full liquid? Is there another reason I'm not considering?

Thank you! Oh no. I hope you are still able to do the memorial ride. Breakfast - 5oz greek yogurt snack - 12oz tea with skim milk, 2 tsp sugar lunch - 1/2 whole wheat tortilla, 3oz deli turkey, tomato slice, lettuce, 1 tsp hummus, 1 slice of mango Snack - 8oz skim milk dinner - 3oz tilapia, 2oz broccoli, 2 oz diced peaches So I used to like Mio.. tried it again in my Water tonight and i feel like puking... Something about the flavor of it. Crystal light does the same thing to me. I cannot stand these calorie free flavor things.

Nov 14 Sleevers?
Fallenangel2904 replied to Soli3l's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried something tonight for a little extra Protein because the shakes are just revolting to me. I haven't even been drinking them that long ugh Anyway I read this on here and it was a great idea! 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt 1/4 cup of FF milk Squirt of MIO. I used orange tangerine. And OMG it was good, tolerable and tasted like an orange creamcicle! It was 7 grams of protein I believe. Not bad! -
Went to a party Saturday night. Made chili for everyone, something I knew I could eat. Brought a diet snapple for my dessert. It was REALLY hard to avoid all the candies and Cookies I used to eat so freely before. Even though I never want to get out of control again, part of me misses being able to graze as I used to. Being around food stresses me out now cuz I feel like I need to be on guard. Anyway I ate very healthy and avoided temptation. Breakfast - 1/2cup activia yogurt lunch - 1/2 boca burger (not easy to chew.. Probably won't try again for a whole), 1/4cup peaches dinner - 1/2 cup white chicken chili, 1 small watermelon wedge snack - 1 bottle Trop A Rocka diet snapple

New Protein drink I look forward to now!!
Tamz posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So yesterday i was grocery shopping and was trying to think of some new ideas for what I can blend.. as I am sick of yogurt, Soup, and cream of wheat. Also sick of my same old Protein powders mixed with Water. (Milk is not agreeing with my sleeve at all). I love the flavors of my Protein powder though... so I know I dont want to change them, they are the leanest I have seen yet. Anyways, today a few hrs before Breakfast I mixed up my vanilla protein powder, 1/4 banana, a lil spoon of FF strawberry greek yogurt, water, and splash of Diet V8 Splash Tropical Medley.. and blended away. It .. was . .AMAZING. I SO LOOK FWD TO DRINKING THIS AGAIN LATER! lol Additionally ... I love cream of wheat but im tired of the original one. I found the variety pack.. which somehow I never noticed before. Has anyone tried the other flavors? any good? -
You will be sore, so you can’t exactly jump to solid food if that’s what you’re thinking , but you can do things like yogurt, pintos and cheese from Taco Bell, I purées a peach slice and it was heavenly. You’ll only be able to eat a few bites anyway at that point so it won’t be too bad.

Ladies and gentlemen I don't know if you guys have heard of something called skinny syrups its a no calorie and no sugar liquid flavoring I just added a drop to my protein shake (which it says you can add to coffee oatmeal lattes yogurts etc.) And it made a big difference in taste the shake wasn't as charky way more tolerable. Mind you my surgery for the sleeve is in 2 weeks hopefully it will still taste great afterwards. They come in different flavors as well I saw pumpkin spice, vanilla, and mocha flavors from TJMAXX.

Dumping Syndrome w/ VSG?
mnbsleeve replied to alexer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would also add to check with your surgeon regarding quantities and types of soft foods. For example, I was not allowed any mushies till after week 4! and then it was only foods like yogurt, cottage cheese or a srambled egg. In terms of quantities, only about a tablespoon. I eventually worked my way up to 1 oz of food. It took me a few weeks from there to get to 3 oz or so. Now 5 months out I can eat about 4 to 6 oz, 8 max depending on the food I am eating. So be sure you are not overfilling your pouch on this first phase of mushie foods. Hope you feel better soon and you're able to figure this out! -

My counsellor at WLF said they want us to eat plan, greek yogurt - if we need to add vanilla (a drop for baking) to it that makes it yummy or spices (eg. Epicure spice dip mixes) or even add in some crystal light powder to flavour it. even greek yogurt with vanilla already in it has stuff we should probably never eat. It's all just a new life ....

Any December '08 Bandsters?
lbhinch replied to Florida Pete's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is set for the 17th!! Only 3 more days! I have been on liquids all day yesterday and today and so far so good. I think I wont have any problems making it 2 more days! Wish me luck tho, I know I could use it. Reading all the posts has been great and such a learning tool, just all the different opinions and useful ideas. I am so glad I found this site! I am a little confused between clear liquids and liquid diet. My paperwork says clear liquids but also lists protein shakes, yogurt and other "unclear" liquids. Anyone have any thoughts as to that? I have staying with clear except for my protein shake. That has been like my only "meal". I am wishing everyone the best results and look forward to reading up on everyone's progress! Merry Christmas to us. -

They did in fact push me back to liquids and yogurt till I see then tuesday if nasaua is better, then I’ll move on again. they want to make sure there is nothing wrong he thinks it could be a combo of irritation stomach and I was talking to one of the girls who work there, she had it. She said I may not be eating enough and getting naseau from no food in stomach she said to get mint oil. I did. She said to put on my wrist. Also warm liquids over cold, and just to keep sipping protein shake. im gonna try that I have to be honest, I really havnt ate all that much oh, he also tailed back on vitamins, till Tuesday

I got my UNJURY on Thursday. I have yet to mix it and try it. I have yogurt and fruit. This is where I will start. I got 10 unflavored and 4 chicken Soup to start. Surgeon said to just try them out and see what my stomach will tolerate prior to actually needing to do liquid diet. I know they promote Advantage? They have a discount code. And seemed the Vitamins on there looked doable with the flavor options and chewable.

Trial run of preop diet?
nepagirl replied to nepagirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I rarely drink caffeine now. I used to be a big soda/coffee/tea drinker and I knew it would be a problem if I didn't wean myself slowly. Now, all I drink is Water and herbal tea. I'm allowed Protein drinks, cottage cheese, light or Greek yogurt, broth, decaf coffee or tea, low sodium tomato or V8, Cream of Wheat or farina, sugar-free pudding, cream Soups, milk (2% or less), sugar-free Jello, sugar-free popsicles, and at least 64 ounces of water. It's got enough variety to keep me interested (I hope). And I hope it keeps me full, too. -
Foster farms meatballs are a must have. 18g of Protein in 3 balls!! GOOD STUFF. chicken, Steak and Salmon. YUMMM eggs, cheese, turkey sausage Bananas, watermelon, cantalope-i eat very small amounts of these weekly after my protein is in. I use to eat lots of yogurt and cottage cheese, but was always hungry so my dr. told me to cut the soft calories out and eat more meat and protein that would stay in my sleeve longer. Kelly

I remember I was so happy during this stage. I had instant mashed potatoes, eggs and refried beans. Oh and I put plain greek yogurt in everything! Because I wasn't getting enough protein in. Good luck!

November 2013 Post Op
Birthsjourney replied to Janifer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cheese sauce on cauliflower is way over the fat grams for me.. We must stay under 3 grams for any food and under 5 grams of sugar! But there really are many products that meet that need! I went to cott cheese and eggs, yogurt after day 7 due to the "runs ". Bummer but the new foods have corrected that with every change up! I have lost 45. # and am now having my second stall ( first lasted 11 days! ???? )
