Hi my name is Brooke, I am new to site and group. My surgery date is May 18, and I am pretty nervous but excited too! I have been trying to get on site for a while now but I have only been able to read.

 

I started my 14 day pre surgery diet and liver detox. I went on May 3rd to weigh in and I was 308.6. I have been on a liquid diet and today I weighed myself and I was 299. I start the liver detox part of it tomorrow. Wish me luck. I am supposed to be drinking some Protein Shakes but I have only managed to get one and a half down. I dont like them they are very bad tasting I had to hold my nose to get others down. I hope I am getting enough nutrients.

Welcome Brooke! I'm may 18 too... As far as the shakes try Premier Protein from costco or SAMs . They have 30g of Protein and 1 g of sugar. Hard to believe they taste so good.

Thanks and good luch on your surgery. The ones I am supposed to be drinking I got from dr. Not sure if he would allow me to use something else. They are very strict but the ones I have are from arbonne, vanilla flavored. I hate vanilla these are too sweet or something. I tried mixing them with one of the cups of yogurt light Im allowed to have but its still pretty bad.

Well hang in there! I bought some unflavored Unjury to put in my broth. That has helped to get the Protein in and I'm loving my sugar free Popsicles ! Can you eat the fage Greek yogurt and add sugar free strawberry preserve. My nutritionist told me to have that during this phase. Taste good to me, gives me the feeling like I'm eating- I need to chew!

Hello !

My surgery was May 14th. Banded plication, hernia repair, and gall bladder removal. It was a breeze. So much easier than I expected it to be.

Today is Day 4 on my doc's plan. I can have full liquids. I'm still just doing Vitamin waters and sugar free popsicles. I did put cream in my coffee this morning. I am not really hungry and my doctor says you really don't need to eat for a week..it will jump start your weight loss and speed healing of the plication.

Congrats to all the newbies and best wishes to all the soon to be !

Nita

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
