2 Week Pre-Op Diet Question



Recommended Posts

So I am about to start week 2 of my pre-op diet and I am having a hard time drinking all 5 shakes. I am getting to the point where they are hard to stomach. I am good with drinking the first three of the days then around 4 I am forcing them down, which is making me sick. I am not even hungry past 4pm. Should I just force them down? I was told that I need 60g of Protein a day, I reach that after 4 shakes. I am just starting to get sick forcing them down? Any advice/suggestions?

Some days I just couldn't get them all down as well. It works out. I also struggled to get in all the Protein and Fluid after surgery. Now I am one month out and its fine. Just hang in there and do the best you can.

i am not sure if you have to drink a specific shake but the premixed slimfast shakes are delicious...if it's not a matter of taste, then is it a matter of space...i have to drink 4 shakes daily on my diet and i sometimes start at 7 a.m. and drink one about every two to 3 hours until they are gone...also pace...sometimes when i feel like it's just too much i just sip the shake until it's gone...i am also starting week two of my diet tomorrow...

I was given a specific Protein mix. The taste isnt what gets me, I am just not hungry, so it makes me feel sick. 7 days and they are gone forever! I can do this! :)

Amanda, can you add some unflavored Protein Powder to the shakes you CAN stomach, that way it would up the Protein content of each drink. I've been doing that post op, since its the only was i can get in my 60g protein a day.

MY Protein Shake MIX HAS 20GRM OF Protein PER SCOOP SO I ONLY DO 3 FOUR OZ shakes A DAY IT GIVES ME MY 60GRMS OF PROTEIN NO PROBLEM.....

Try Muscle Milk Light !

It's got 25G of Protein per 8 oz. shake.

All you need is a shaker bottle or blender, and Water.

The taste are really good, and their more for flavor.

Contact me, and I will tell you the cheapest place to order from,

and tell you about the best flavors.

If you use 4 oz. of Water, and the same amount of powder, you will end up

with a pudding, and that's still liquid for you diet. So you won't have to drink

much at all, and you'll get your Protein.< /p>

Shirley.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
