Hi All

I'll be having my surgery on August 5th (the day after my 29th birthday) and I'm on day 1 of my liquid diet.

This. Is. Not. Easy.

These Protein things are not my cup of tea. I've got GNC Lean 25 in chocolate Peanut Butter and Cookies & cream. I'm finding them to be too sweet, too syrupy in texture and just...not what I like. Can anyone suggest a protein that is maybe not a "shake" or a "smoothie"?

THANK YOU!

Isopure Fruit Punch is basically kool-aid Protein. Yum. I am pre-op and drinking some now. Also you may want to try mixing your Protein shakes with almond milk instead of cows milk or Water. I like Premier Protein myself. All Isopure powders are pretty yummy. Look for them on Amazon. I believe that their vanilla is the #1 selling Protein powder on Amazon. Premier Protein has way more protein but some of the EAS Advantage Carb Control flavors are yummy too (especially RICH Dark chocolate and Cafe Caramel). Way past my bedtime goodnight Sleeve Sisters (and brothers).

I was out longer than I expected today and I had to get a GNC lean from GNC in the mall as an emergency. It was too sweet and kinda gross.. It doesn't taste like any high quality Protein I have ever had.

When you are pre-op you don't have to drink a watery shake. You are just going to feel like you are starving. Look for a Meal Replacement shake with Fiber in it, it is more filling and mix it with ice.

I love Premier premixed chocolate, Walmart and Walgreens carry it. Also Sams and costco.

My second favorite is Profuse. It is mixed with Water and taste wonderful. It is totally clear and is not a whey product. I kill 2 birds with one stone. I get my water in and extra Protein at the same time.

I bought unflavored pea protein to add to broth. Pre op starts tomorrow, but I am trying things tonight.

On my 3rd day pre op diet stomach was growling so had to drink a shake down 7 pounds since day 1 but will wait to weigh again on Saturday chwing gum to keep mouth busy as we wont get to have gum later

Turns out that that pea protein turned my vegetable broth to pea soup. Tastes great, a little salty, but at least it Breaks up the protein shake milky sugar rut. It's 7g of protein per cup.

I love the chocolate premier shakes you can get at Sam's Club. This week the case is four dollars off so I got to chocolate one strawberry and one vanilla. You're the best ones out there in my opinion and they are easy.

You can play with the flavorings in protein shakes. I added decaf instant crystals, tsp stevia, drop of vanilla and some unsweetened chocolate powder to the Baratric Advantage shakes. Even my daughter said it tasted like a frappaccino. I'm 18 days post surgery and the pre op was the hardest part so far. I literally cried my first day because I didn't think I would make it. My dr allowed sf Popsicles and sf jello, up to 3 a day and that helped. Just remember, if you're going to cheat, which I'm not advocating, make sure it's all protein. Good Luck to all of you, it so worth it!

Regular almond milk unsweetened with lemonade protein powder was yummy today with a little ice also I made lettuce soup with almond milk instead of cream and few other tweaks am down 4 lbs in 4 days

my surgery is August 6th and my 25th birthday is 4 days later x( anyways yes the protien drinks suck i swear they should make a chicken flavored one or something but anyways for my preop I'm drinking the strawberries and cream premier protien from sams club. It is not horrible then I drink a couple of sips of my chicken broth to wash the sweet taste out but it always comes back.

Today I had one shake, but I added a dash of cranberry juice

It took away some the sweetness of the protein drink

My three week diet consist of high protein drinks and salad for lunch or dinner.

Today on my 6th day not feeling very well a little weak is this supposed to happen is it a side effect from not eating ?
