2 Week Pre-Op Diet Question

[Amanda61082 28]

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>
