Let me rephrase...I dont think that boost and ensure are any different meal wise, than a protein shake.
-
Id say boost and ensure are like a protein shake..yes...Im still on liquids too, plus 3 shakes a day
-
Hi, Ultra geek... Ive been doing the EAS shakes, that come in the big tub..vanilla flavor. But you might as well call them "ass" flavored because they're gross. I recently just bought, "Body Fortress" From Wal-mart, vanilla, and its pretty yummy.

~Sheila~ replied to michiganer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ill feel intense pressure...like if im laying or sitting down, like i have to burp and I just CANT. UNTIL i stand up...then the burps come from my toes... -
Chatita....Hi!11lbs we'll never get back, huh! Pretty cool! Jes, maybe try to have 3 Protein shakes a day..and take your flintstones..maybe once you get in a routine of going to work again, you wont be as tired. Take care all!

Good luck everyone who's getting banded tomorrow!! Let us know how it all went.

Liquid pre-op diet???? Who knew?????
~Sheila~ replied to exactly150's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Deb, dont worry...a lot of dr's dont require that... also, you can go to the month you were banded in, (dec, like me, ) on this forum and pop in there to see where people are at who's been banded the same month you are... good luck -
Jes, 3 babies! A trip to the store for diapers? man, you're life is about as exciting as mine! My husband's stepped up his game a lot...Im actually impressed. However, Im sure in a few weeks, he'll start having a pity party for himself because im not cooking too much. We'll see. Btw, I read an article on your Protein shakes, they seem to be the cats meow taste wise.

Day 5 for me, as well. Still in some pain, getting in and out of bed, or in and out of the chair. And sleeping is really rough, since Im a stomach sleeper. But, since i had my gallbladder out and hernia fixed, i expected to be slower than the rest of you, recovery wise. I've lost about 12 lbs, I should update my ticker. I have my energy back, mostly. And YES im starting to itch, too.
-
wow..Im jealous...
-
jewlee, I had the same fears. I have 3 little ones at home, too...I know how you're feeling. It'll all be over with before you know it...thats how i felt, "just get it over with already" ... You'll do fine! you'll do great!
-
Chris, Good for you, the pounds are going to melt off you! Isnt it nice to know that we're actually going to SEE the results from excersizing?? I know before, when ive done "diets" and tried to excersize, I always gave up sooner than i should have out of not seeing the scale move, or seeing any difference. But this time? We are BOUND to see some changes!
-
Oh, i dont like the flintstones chewables either. But so far, it's all I have. Ive had centrum complete, chewables...before, those werent too bad..
-
Im going to try the tomato soup tonight for dinner...Im ready for something other than broth, also im getting so tired of the sugar free taste thats always in my mouth from the shakes, crystal lite..ect... You're brave, Ive not done a thing since my surgery on weds.
-
Does it hurt to take a big deep breath in?
-
Hi all..... So, my dr said that Im to have 2-3 quarts of Water a day. Also, he said Im to be sipping 1/2 ounce of it, every 4-5 mins. do you all have a time that you should be sipping in between sips?
-
Sewenup, Thank you so much! So, basically Im to expect to be sipping all day long, huh?:huggie: My dr has also said, no milk...but the tomato juice sounds good right now, I guess i could cut it with some Water. thank you!
-
Let me know what protein shake you get. Ive been doing the EAS 100% whey protein shakes...but im ready to try something else. Sad to say, Im getting tired of the strong sugar free taste in it.
-
Mrs. Krzyz, Im totally with you. I could chug my Water. Im THAT thirsty. Mostly, i find that if i drink too fast, i feel really tight, or uncomfortable. Anyone burping a lot??? Im burping tons. Also, my dr told me "only 1/2 an ounce of liquids, every 4-5 mins" talk about restraint.
-
Well Ive hardly had any gas, just super full. ive managed to get the 3 protein shakes in, though. plus vitamins, and my calcium. Waters a bit more challenging, but the nights not over with yet, huh! Good luck with your walk!
-
Thanks, Danna. Ill do this!
-
Anyone else super thirsty? Im so thirsty but so full at the same time. The only thing that feels good is popsicles. Im so afraid of drinking too much, too soon..ect...anyone else dying of thirst but afraid to drink? :scared:
