Today starts the first day of my two-week preop liquid diet. I can only have four protein shakes per day and can only use bariatric advantage. Bariatric advantage protein is so gross! I am gagging it down. This afternoon I got the worst headache and felt nauseous. How my going to do this for two weeks? When does this get easier?

I was allowed these Isopure (no carb vanilla and very low carb chocolate and strawberry) I have not tried the Bariatric Advantage although it was on the approved list. I wish I would have bought an immersion blender when I started. Lumpy Protein shakes are not so great.

So many of the Protein Shakes are made to help people gain weight and muscle etc. Hang in there. It is just a couple of weeks and it will be so awesome on the other side!

You CAN do this!!!

Thank you!!!!!

Today I started my first day of my 3 day pre-op diet. Things went pretty well. I drank a peanut butter chocolate protein shake for breakfast, vanilla protein shale for lunch. I had some chicken broth and sugar free popsicle for snack.

I had a headache for about 4 to 5 hrs. I took some Tylenol for it. Then for dinner I had 2ozs of tuna. I had a pretty good first day and wasnt that hungry. I just hope that Iwil eventually be able to make my protein goal. I had a hard time drinking those two shakes. I just wanted to give up. I would have rather not had anything. They just seemed to thick. I mixed it with 8ozs of fat free milk. Day of surgery will be here before i know.

Tomorrow i start my liquid diet for 2 weeks.. Im super nervous but am fully stocked on jello and broth... My doctors didn't limit me to a certain protein so i bought body tech. Its vitamin shoppes brand! Its super yummmy
