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!

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!!

Thanks for the tip I will try it

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.

I'm 3 weeks on a liquid diet. Week before week of and week after. I see dr Aug 4th I hope to h ll he puts me on mush. The week before was easy compared to this. I think I really just wanna try my new tummy. Good luck to you Aug 4th

3 more days till the loosers bench..

Start my liquid diet tomorrow. ..let see how this goes

Day 6 of liquid diet for me!! 2 more days liquid then 1 day clear liquid and then surgery day!!!!

Good luck to you all

Food luc kn to you al
