Hows The Pre Op Diet Going?



Recommended Posts

I was doing ok until today. The smell of these shakes is nauseating. So I'm going to regroup and try to find something that I can tolerate. Hope your doing better than I am....LOL!

When I was on my pre op, after day 1, I went and bought a bag of straws, I couldn't stand the smell.....lots of ice in a blender, straws and even a bit of flavoring (sf syrups, defcaf instant coffee). It does get better.

My huge case of Unjury arrived today. I was tempted to taste it, then I said, "Nah" I'm gonna be tasting nothing but starting in a week or so!

My surgery date is October 5th-- just less than a week of this Pre-op diet- - I was feeling pretty good up until yesterday, I ended up with an awful headache- I figure it was because I didn't drink enough water- feeling better today-- I don't think I have lost much weight on the diet-- but my surgeon wanted it to focus on shrinking my liver-- hopefully that is happening!! I don't mind my Protein shakes-- however I am getting sick of all the sweetness!!! Hope you are all doing well!!

(Im getting excited!!)

How is it today everyone? Are you drinking shakes made with ice in a blender or just shakes in milk? Does anyone make them w soy or almond milk? Has anyone tried the Unjury cheese powder?

Good luck w/ your pre-op!

I recall being told (or reading in the post-op materials) not to drink from a straw. I believe because it's very easy to drink too much too fast. Pre-op straws, no issue.

Where did you order the unjury? The chocolate is fantastic and I'd love to get more (a friend game me hers).

Started my pre op diet today. First shake was horrible so I added some cocoa powder and vanilla extract to my chocolate lunch shake and it went down a little better. I cant stand the smell so I hold my breath while drinking...lol

I am a little hungry between shakes but nothing I cant handle.

I put mine jn one lf those Water cups that have a lid with a straw-- this way you can avoid the smell- You can pick them up for a couple bucks at the dollar store!

      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! 😞
