Drink Gatorade Zero. Your electrolytes may be off.

I'm doing that as we speak.

I've found I really like Nectar brand electrolytes. No sugar, and has calcium and magnesium, which gatorade is missing. The watermelon is pretty good. And small packets for travel and low volume fluids

Thanks! Which exact product? Is that the protein powder or something else?

Thanks. All I see are protein powders. Would you mind sharing a link to the product you recommend?

Just got word. I'm having my lap band removed April 10. Then the plan is to do a gastric sleeve in three months. Just no success with band after 9 years. Plus my esphagus is in a snake figure and they had to remove most of the fluid from the balloon and Ive gained back 20+ pounds in a year.

Mine is April 4.. Only one week of pre-op diet... Very excited but would love some ideas for the veg part of the pre-op

Hi Nancy! I’ve been drinking the OWYN brand shakes with 30g protein. Also, Miso broth with silken tofu, 9g of protein. Zero Powerades and watermelon mint tea for some sweet flavors. Bottles waters & my Barimelts 3X aday. I’m currently on day 10 of the preop diet and 15lbs down so far.

@dskg i’m on my 2 week liquid preop diet and it has been challenging. Days 3-4 were my worst days. The Headaches & the exhaustion was immense. But I pushed through. Days 5-present, surprisingly are much better. The Higher energy levels and the mental clarity on how my body will change, for the better, has been my motivation this week.

Fortunately our program doesn't have a liquid diet, it's a 1400 calorie a day diet, thank God!

I am so happy to hear that. I'm on day 7 of the keto preop diet and although it has gotten easier exhaustion-wise and foggy-wise, the headaches are still not gone. I agree about the higher energy levels though and am also so excited for my body to change. Keep up the good work. Happy to be on this journey together!
