No, but I mix mine with coconut milk. It is yummy and much better than dairy milk.

oh yes, all mine pre-op were made with Water. To be honest, once they sat in the fridge for 20 min, I could not tell. Plug your nose and down the hatch!

Is it because of calories? It is there a medical reason? I put in a call to my Dr to ask.

The ones I used had to be mixed with Water. Most have some kind of "milk" powder in them already and yes it is because of calories. It might be hard but the preop is only a short period of time, best to suck it up and just get on with it, it will be over before you know it.

My pre-op were with Water. I just tried to get them down as fast as possible. Now I use unsweetened almond milk.

I hate shakes with Water. I use skim milk and I know people use almond milk. Maybe ask if you can use the almond milk its very low in calories.

Preop was Water, could use milk post op. I used nectar Cookies and cream. It was good with slightly warm water.

I make mine with unsweetened almond coconut milk( yes! They make a combination one, Blue Diamond brand) It's thinner than milk but tastes SO good.

BUT if your doctor requires Water you should follow her/his instructions.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
