2 Week Pre-Op Diet Question



Recommended Posts

So I am about to start week 2 of my pre-op diet and I am having a hard time drinking all 5 shakes. I am getting to the point where they are hard to stomach. I am good with drinking the first three of the days then around 4 I am forcing them down, which is making me sick. I am not even hungry past 4pm. Should I just force them down? I was told that I need 60g of Protein a day, I reach that after 4 shakes. I am just starting to get sick forcing them down? Any advice/suggestions?

Some days I just couldn't get them all down as well. It works out. I also struggled to get in all the Protein and Fluid after surgery. Now I am one month out and its fine. Just hang in there and do the best you can.

i am not sure if you have to drink a specific shake but the premixed slimfast shakes are delicious...if it's not a matter of taste, then is it a matter of space...i have to drink 4 shakes daily on my diet and i sometimes start at 7 a.m. and drink one about every two to 3 hours until they are gone...also pace...sometimes when i feel like it's just too much i just sip the shake until it's gone...i am also starting week two of my diet tomorrow...

I was given a specific Protein mix. The taste isnt what gets me, I am just not hungry, so it makes me feel sick. 7 days and they are gone forever! I can do this! :)

Amanda, can you add some unflavored Protein Powder to the shakes you CAN stomach, that way it would up the Protein content of each drink. I've been doing that post op, since its the only was i can get in my 60g protein a day.

MY Protein Shake MIX HAS 20GRM OF Protein PER SCOOP SO I ONLY DO 3 FOUR OZ shakes A DAY IT GIVES ME MY 60GRMS OF PROTEIN NO PROBLEM.....

Try Muscle Milk Light !

It's got 25G of Protein per 8 oz. shake.

All you need is a shaker bottle or blender, and Water.

The taste are really good, and their more for flavor.

Contact me, and I will tell you the cheapest place to order from,

and tell you about the best flavors.

If you use 4 oz. of Water, and the same amount of powder, you will end up

with a pudding, and that's still liquid for you diet. So you won't have to drink

much at all, and you'll get your Protein.< /p>

Shirley.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
