Hello ! sorry to hear your concern about the scale. Keep in mind all the liquids that you intake that can cause weight gain, I gained 10 pounds while in the hospital because of all the liquids they were giving me and the gas that I had . Don’t get discouraged ! Remember this wasn’t an immediate fix, it’s a tool to help us in the long run. Also the fact that you are incorporating weights you can be gaining MUSCLE as opposed to FAT . Don’t let the scale bring you down because it could be a good thing. More muscle = better fat loss 🙂 You got this ! Don’t give up, you’ve come this far !

I was drinking the same one ! And got it from Amazon also . Even drinking it the day before surgery I didn’t like the taste . But as of today it has gotten better to intake the protein drink although I haven’t been able to drink the full 2 proteins yet . And I also woke up this morning with really orange urine (sorry for the tmi) but this is worrying me and I’m trying to find ways to get hydrated and stay hydrated.

I was told the preop liquid diet is determined by your BMI so if you have a higher BMI the longest diet would be 21 days and if you have a lower BMI then you would only have to do it 1 day prior. And of course those in between would have somewhere in between . It’s not only to lose some weight but also to shrink the liver so that they have better access during surgery.

No it hits my stomach really hard . I could not drink the clear protein drinks those tasted extremely sweet to me

Hi All ! My surgery was Monday 9/20 and I was on a full liquid diet 21 days prior. I am only 3 days post op and I must admit the amount of pain I am experiencing is not like what I had in mind. It is mostly gas pain and I’m walking as much as possible and also taking chewable Gas-X but the gas pains will not subside. The first 2 days after surgery my entire body felt like I was hit by a semi truck and I mean entire body (legs, arms, chest, back, and tummy). Today I woke up feeling less sore and my stomach didn’t hurt much but the second I took in some liquids the gas pain came back and my stomach hurts every time I sip from my 1 oz cup . I started the full liquid diet today again so in addition to the clear liquids I’ve been drinking post op I am now allowed the regular premier protein . I am finding it hard to reach my liquid intake especially the protein as I am still on the first bottle of protein and it is already 4:36pm.
