Really Struggling With Meal Replacement Diet



Recommended Posts

Ok so i met with the nutrionist about 2 weeks ago and she told me to start a Meal Replacement diet. For the first week replace one meal a day with a Protein Shake, then on week 2 start with 2 meals a day ( im a big guy ). My probelm is for the last 2 weeks have i been completely faithful to it, no, but as everyone on here knows im sure you too have also not stuck to the diet 100% as it becomes almost a task after awhile. That being said, i think my biggest dilema is the actuall " not eating" part, ive never just drank my meal before to be honest i dont like it at all. I know i could also eat some things with the shake as it is only 30 grams per shake, but i dont know how much i should eat with it as well. I am going to try to get a hold of her sometime this week, but was just wondering if anyone had any pointers. FYI im just replacing my Breakfast and lunch, and this week im determined to really stick to it.

Is this your pre surgery diet?

I know all Dr.'s have different protocols for the pre surgery diet.

All my Dr told me was that I MUST loose X lbs before surgery or he will have to postpone. The hospital had a policy about foods 24 hrs prior to surgery,but that is in general to all major surgeries.

My Dr did not care how I lost the weight, as long as I did. liquid shake Meal Replacements just so happen to work the best!

But in my case, I did not have to beat myself up if I ate sold foods from time to time.

My surgery was a Monday, I had my last wigh in with the Dr on the Friday prior.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
