1200 calories of liquid?!?!



Recommended Posts

I'm on my pre-op liquid diet day 1 of 14 and I'm supposed to get 1200 calories in I've been drinking all day and got less than 500 calories in. I'm not hungry really, have done liquid diets here and there b4 but never counted calories. How am I suppose to work this thing?!?!

Wow, I'm starving on the liquid diet. Day 2/14. I suppose just keep eating/drinking. It shouldn't be a problem until you're sleeved.

Maybe try a different brand with more Protein in it.... Like pure Protein Shakes or premier ... chicken Soup works good too ... With the pre op diet ..

As many as I want just not more than 1200 calories, the glucerna is 180 cals ea.... I don't drink juice or soda so I have to drink caseloads of these things.

Well the good thing is that you can have up to 1200 calories on these things!

I've never had glucerna so I don't know how they taste (I did premier) if you feel satisfied with what you took in today, then I think that's great. The good thing is if tomorrow you feel you need more you can have more!

(I was on shakes only on my pre op. I was allowed 800 a day)

They are good but not that good that I can have 6 of then in one day lol. I bought some myoplex and slim fast shakes too so hopefully I'll survive these two weeks.

3 scoops in 12oz of Water = 280 calories. If you want to make it extra tasty, use milk instead of Water.

:D

Your woman card, hand it over! :lol:

There are other AMP Wheybolic flavors (Cookies and Cream, strawberry, Vanilla) that you could try.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
