struggling with liquid diet (August 5th surgery)

[samskiles 159]

Days 1 and 2 were brutal for me. Day 3 was better and today was a breeze. I have kicked the bad stuff out of my body so the cravings are gone. My life savor has been chugging Water. I never drank water before and now I crave it. It really helps with the hunger! My surgery is Aug 11 so I'm only on day 4.

I am using the Carnation no sugar added instant Breakfast with Fairlife milk....easier to get down for me, I struggle with the Protein shakes! With the Fairlife each 8oz has 18gms of protein! In August 6th, just finished day 1 pre op!

Good luck everyone!!

I splash the Protein Powder drink with either apple or cranberry juice, 100% juice not fake juice, lol.

How is it going now ? I have found it pretty easy after the origin few days. Now I am nervous to do the straight liquid diet lol

Try whatever brand vanilla Protein and use that as your "base." Add fruit and almond milk or fruit juice and blend. Here are a few of my faves:

banana walnut- Protein Powder, frozen banana, almond milk, walnuts and one stevia packet- optional.

Peanut butter/banana- Protein powder, frozen banana, PB2 powder, almond milk, and one stevia packet-optional.

Tropical fruity: Protein powder, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, frozen Strawberries, orange or pineapple juice. *One stevia packet if the fruit is not sweet.*

My doctor was a little disappointed that I added fruits to mine. I still lost weight and now I'm having a hard time as it gets closer to August 4th!! He told me that I can only do Protein drinks, broths, and thats pretty much it lol

I am so thankful my surgeon didn't require any pre liquid diet. Good luck to each of you.
