Well today I start the first day of two weeks of the liquid diet, this day has arrived. I was told I can still drink diet soda or coffee, I am a coffee drinker but cannot just drink it straight, any suggestions?

Today is day one of pre op liquid diet for me as well. I love my coffee, too. I am learning to appreciate black coffee but you can try stevia or splenda. My Protein Shakes taste like cake batter. If you take cold coffee and blend it w shake and ice, it makes a decent frozen mocha.

I start my very low calorie pre op diet on Tuesday and I'm also a coffee drinker. My plan is to mix it with my morning Protein shake. Check out YouTube for coffee Protein drinks for WLS there are a handful of ways to make it. Good luck! :)

I use Visalus at the moment. It is pricey but I had a bag from a previous diet attempt. 90 cals per serving w/12 grams Protein, 5 grams, Fiber, and 7 grams carb = 2 net carbs and less than 1 gram sugar. It is a powder that i blend with coffee, no sugar added almond milk, or crystal light.

What is ENS and where do you get it? Does it taste good? I tried to make homemade popsicles but the Protein Powder sank to the bottom. Not too appetizing.

I haven't tried ENS yet but they have a cake batter flavor, Celebrate Vitamins sells it. I have been meaning to order from that site but just haven't yet. I have made Protein Popsicles and what I found works is the ISPURE clear liquid bottle drinks you can buy at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
