My wife put her Protein Shakes in the freezer about 1/2 hour and she said it was kind of like drinking a milk shake. Also go to GNC and check out there 100% whey Protein power they have some really good flavors.

Good luck, and if I can do this I know you can because I'm the weakest person I know when it comes to eating. Was banded on 7/11/07 and I'm down 40 Lbs. post op and 61 Lbs. total.

Aloha

Dee Dee,

How bad do you want this? Start over...this time make sure you drink your slim fast, drink lots of Water, sugarfree drinks, after three days I was allowed to have a small green salad...I had to give up one slim fast to eat that, but it is so worth it...and remember fat free dressing...YOU CAN DO THIS....HANG IN THERE....IT WILL GET EASIER...

<p>It has been X amount of days and the pre-op diet did get easier after day 3... until today. I have no idea what came over me, maybe it was the fact that in 3 days I can no longer eat as much as I can now but I PIGGED out!! UGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! My tummy hurts, I am gonna gain 5 pounds I know it! Now I am fearful that Dr. Ortiz won't perform the surgery becuase of bad judgement and weakness on my part. So I now have 3 days to loose... dare i say it...8 pounds!!! Now realistically I know that won't happen but I will try to loose something. Somebody say something to make me feel better..ugggg. I was down to 217 now I am back to 222 starting at 224. My scale flucuated a lot so now I can't trust the scale! Lesson Learned..DON'T TRUST THE SCALE!!!</p>

So I begin my 10 day pre-op diet and it only lasted a couple of hours. I feel a little pathetic, then again I am living on LIQUIDS! You have got to be kidding me. I tell myself I am doing this for my health and sanity...but DAMN this liquid thing sucks. Now I am second guessing my decision to go through with this. I need guidance and a little motivation. Does anyone have suggestions to make the pre-op diet easier?

BANDSTERS UNITE..sista in trouble :help:

Thx,

Dee Dee

Dee Dee.....It's ok to suck, just don't swallow.

I'm kidding of course! There were just sooooooo many ways we could go with the " I suck " statement! Thought I'd add a little levity!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
