Recommended Posts

So I'm currently on day 3 of my liquid diet.... I have no interest for the Protein Shakes, the ones that I have are disgusting! Any suggestion? I do love the Soup, and the sugar free Jello, and the sugar free Water. But I need protein..... November 10, isn't coming fast enough for me :-( All suggestions are welcomed.

I too am one day 3 of the diet and struggling. I'm drinking the EAS premixed shakes and then mixing some powder my husband has with almond milk. It's going to be a long 12 days , but we can do. The 10th will be here before we know it.

I don't mind the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate mixed with almond milk and PB2. The Premier Protein tastes like Yoohoo to me, so I can tolerate that as well. Unjury also has a chicken Soup Protein Powder. Tastes like Ramen broth. Salty - but decent. My surgery is 11/9. We're so close!!!

My fave Protein Drink is Pure Protein. It is pre-made in a can. Has 35g protein and all the flavors are good but my fave is Cookies and Cream. The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC sell it. You can get it online and I think Sam's has it. After surgery the Protein Drinks are a must. It is the only way to get your protein in the beginning. Also load up on sugar free Popsicles. Walmart sells them. Enjoy the journey. It will change your life! If you can attend support groups before surgery, do so! You will learn some great tips and get local support from people that are ahead if you on this journey.

Received the unjury chicken Soup flavor Thursday afternoon and put it to immediate use for dinner.

What I can say here without getting banned is DISGUSTING!!!! As I tried it there were a few 4 letter words.

It also smells unappealing as well. I emailed them and they're allowing me to return it to them for a refund. The WORST tasting powder I have tried. I frankly don't know how anyone likes this chicken stuff.

I couldn't even get it down when i tried to tolerate it. I ended up throwing it all away after nearly throwing up. Good luck!!!!!

I think it tastes like Ramen - you know, that fake flavor. I find it tolerable. Not sure how I'll feel after surgery

Try syntax nectar, you can buy it at Vitamin Shoppe. They have all kinds of flavors. Taste good mixed with Water or 1% milk. Day 6 for me, my surgery is November 9th, yes that day can't get here soon enough.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
