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. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
