Isopure is a clear protein drink that tastes like watered down koolaid. I don’t recommend doing it like I did in this picture (I made ice cubes and blended it) but just cold out of the bottle it’s good.

You can do it! I’m 8 days out of surgery - I started my liquid diet 23 days ago. It is not easy but you can do it!

So, I guess I need to eat slower or eat less.

I saw this on another forum

Thanks everyone

Is there anything that can be done about the hiccups? In 8 days out and started hiccuping yesterday. It’s very annoying.

Hey everyone - my stats are similar to a few of you. Starting weight 237, 5’2”, gastric bypass on the 26th. I’ve been down 19 pounds (yesterday) but I’m back up to 220 (today). No cheating but I’m always hungry - even after the puréed diet began yesterday. Are we supposed to be satisfied having only 3/4c of food a day? Or, not hungry at least? My stomach is grumbling. I sent a message to my dietician about it and I haven’t heard back yet.

Wow, I can’t believe you went back after only a week! That’s why you’re dragging I bet! I return on Friday for light labor (that’s early too, my two week post op appt is ok April 8). Hang in there

I felt a little bit of that last night too (my surgery was the 26th). I actually had cramping feelings in my chest. Then, I finally had a bm (first one since surgery - 5 days), and I felt much better. Have you had a bm? Day 6 is better! I met with the dietician today and she talked about how some of us might feel “buyers remorse.” She said it’s about to get much better. Just hang in there. Soon you will be flying!

I really wanted my own pillow and a blanket while I was at the hospital

My surgery was yesterday. I just got home, showered and am going to take a nap begire my evening snack. But I have a question: can I drink water along with my liquid meals? Like, my protein drink is considered a meal, so can I drink water with that? Also, when can I start having meals that are hot or cold rather than Luke warm? thanks for any help

When does the pain go away? I have been seemingly always hungry, but then I try to eat and I feel stuffed.

Less than 24 hours to go. Excited and nervous.

Thank you. I had not even thought about taking my measurements!

My surgery is on Tuesday, 3/26

I am pretty much all liquid with only those couple exceptions. My tummy grumbles a lot. The day before my liquid diet began I weighed 237 on the scale at my clinic. I’m down to 230.

Heather - I am dealing/feeling the exact same as you. I’ve cheated, but only small cheats, except I had two slices of pb&j toast over the weekend. I researched how some other surgeons prescribe the diet and decided that I would stay low carb and have a salad with grilled chicken (on 3 occasions now) because I wanted to chew. The carbs and sugars were still below 10.

My surgery is March 26. RnY. Im 39, live in MN. Starting weight is 235, and I’m miserable right now on this diet.

My surgery is the 26th. I’m pretty flippin miserable. The first 4 days I had diarrhea and the last 4 days I haven’t had a bm. I crave something different every day. Day one it was chipotle. Today it’s ice cream from DQ. I have my period rn - just making this whole journey harder.

What is the mini gastric bypass? I’m having gastric bypass next Tuesday. Starting weight 235

I’m on day 3 of my pre op liquid diet. Diarrhea every day so far. Headache started today too. Can we take anything for it?

I began my 2 week liquid diet today and this product is saving me. I cannot stand the shakes. I had the Blue Raspberry. I drank half for breakfast and half for lunch.
