Starting Liquid Diet 11/22/2013



Recommended Posts

I'm two weeks in on the shakes and have only a few days left before surgery Dec 2. I'm doing the Bariatric Advantage shakes in vanilla and think they're really tasty! My favorite recipe is to add crushed ice, a sugar free chocolate pudding cup, 2 tbsp of PB2 and too it off with some skim milk. Blend it up and you have a yummy treat!!!

If you haven't tried PB2, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It's pressed peanuts with most of the oils and fats removed. Add some Water and you have delicious Peanut Butter and it's only 45 calories for 2 tbsp!!!

Good Luck! You can do it!!!

I haven't found a Protein supplement I like the taste of and am concerned about post-op. My surgery is the 13th, so I start my Clear liquids in just over a week. I was hoping to have something, I know I can handle before surgery. I've tried unjury, Optifast and Syntax nectar. I like sweet things, if that helps give anyone direction as to what I should try. One of the guys who works out recommended CytoSport vanilla flavor, but that cost $44/bag and I hate to open it, given the cost.

I am using the Bariatric Advantage chocolate and vanilla Protein. Did not sample many others but these have very little aftertaste especially after adding a little frozen fruit, But I have just finished my first day of my 14 total. Surgery is Dec 13.

How's the diet going? I finished mine yesterday and lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I was hoping for 25 but maybe I'll drop that today with the Clear Liquids only. I also drank the Bariatric Advantage vanilla and really enjoyed them. The last few days I was ready to have anything other than a shake but I think everyone goes through that! Today I would love to have one but I'm stuck with chicken broth and these awful Protein shooters called New whey Protein. It is the most horrible taste on Earth and tastes nothing like fruit punch as described. I just continue to hold my nose and try to let it go down my throat without touching my tongue! Lol!

Best of luck with the pre-op diet! I go in for surgery tomorrow but I'll check-in next week!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
