Day 2 of 14 pre-op diet...help!

[RNYDawn 160]

I am staying strong but please, send me some of your pre-op diet success stories of peering through! Surgery is 2-17.

I can have: 3 Bariatric Advantage shakes, 2 BA bars, a cup of 1% milk, 1 banana, up to 24 oz of broth, & up to 3 sf jellos or Popsicles per day.

The BA shakes are not good. I tried using flavored liquid stevia with them but it made them sickeningly sweet. I tried blending with ice. The only good combo was a chocolate shake with half a frozen banana & 4oz of milk/4oz Water, blended with ice. I can't even choke down chicken broth on day 2!

I've heard it gets easier after day 3 so please tell me how you got through it! I have 12 more days of this. It seriously sucks but I'm not giving into my temptations (which is pretty much anything!) ????

I am on day 6 of 14. My surgery is next friday. We only get Clear Liquids. No food. Only 1 cup of Jello and 2 popsicles. It's been super rough. Day 2 was horrible. It does get better though. Drinking horrible shakes don't help at all. I had 2 different kinds. I ended up trying Premier Protein. The vanilla kind. It's so good. It's just like a watered down vanilla milkshake. I hope things get better for you. It's gonna be hard but it does get better. Just keep drinking Water or something to keep your mind occupied.

Thank you Molly! You're doing great!! I have some chocolate Premier Protein but am definitely going to buy some more at costco this weekend too. I know it will be worth this frustration:)

For broths make your own. I had to so I got really creative and just strained anything I cooked that was solid. I like nectar brand Protein Powder. I use chocolate or vanilla in coffee Decaf of course and crystal lite with vanilla. Orange flavor makes it taste like a 50-50 ice cream bar. I was really lucky where I was allowed a Atkins or other light dinner once a day.
