Does anyone have any liquid reciepes to help me out



Recommended Posts

I didn't try anything too funky! Just did my shakes first (always premixed kind!), then I'd buy different varieties of Soups, i'd have maybe once a day, like Tomato, butternut squash, pureed bean Soup. For me, when I was on liquids I didn't have much of an appetite for different things. I still have a cabinet full of Soup, bullion, chicken stock, and 10 different nasty Protein powders and all that crap haha.

Be careful mixing things into shakes, the calories can add up fast. The shakes already have a lot.

sugar free pudding is good, and fudgsicals. For me though, I was usually looking for something savory since all the shakes are sweet

Are you drinking at least 60 grams of Protein Shakes? That should make you feel fuller. liquids just suck though, no way around it. But Protein shakes FIRST, then if you want other things then have it.

I love the herbalife shakes ---- you can take the mix and then add more Protein to it....I use unjury unflavored to add to mine. SOme of my faves...

chocolate herbalife shake mix - 1 tablespoon PB2 (powdered Peanut Butter -you can use real) - 1 cup skim milk - blend with ice until you get the consistency you like....I prefer it more icy and thick.

The tropical herbalife mix is really good too --- add skim milk and ice --- and any fresh fruit you have around....YUM!

I don't really like the vanilla herbalife mix - that's the only one I didn't care for, though. I buy mine online...ebay or Amazon has it, too. You can always take a flavor and add in a tablespoon of sugar free pudding too - mix it up a bit - like take the choc mix and add in cheesecake pudding....YUM! I have found I have to keep a variety and I hate the pre mixed shakes....so I get creative so I don't get bored! :rolleyes:

I just made a shake yesterday that I LOVED! one envelope diet hot cho mix(25cal) and 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder(I use Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement, 80 cals/scoop) splash of Toraci chocolate sugar free/colorie free syrup( ? spelling, in the coffee aisle at the store) 3pkts Truvia and ice, very minimal Water, just enough to get things going and add as needed. I figured it at 105 calories and 15g Protein. Tastes just like a Wendy's Frosty. Eat it with a spoon! Yummy

I also like to take crystal light ( 3 or 4 ounce already mixed) and mix that with 2 scoops of the vanilla protein powders and lots of ice and just a bit of Water. For chocolate, I like to mix 1/3 of a frozen banana in. I bought some cottage cheese to try next. I keep reading that people say it makes the shakes creamier.

I also have nectar protein products. tastes great mixes easy with water. I try not to get to carried away adding fruit and other things that just add calories.

The magic bullet is my best friend, closely followed by the elliptical trainer.

Forgot to mention greek yogurt. I saw you have been eating some yogurt but dont feel too full after. Try some of the greek. I have tried Brown Cow--I think thats it--from Sams Club. They are so rich and creamy, i always feel so full after. i have also bought the plain unflavored kind and mixed sugar free Jello mix into it for flavor.

I have official made myself hungry now.....off to find my bullet :rolleyes:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
