pre op liquids only and not feeling well



Recommended Posts

Anyone else have just a 'bleck' feeling from the Protein Shakes during pre op diet? I'm wondering if it is just cuz I have not really had them before, or what.

I never did. I only drink chocolate and add a little Decaf instant coffee, a little peppermint extract and lots of ice. When blended with the milk it becomes a very thick shake. I have been drinking them for Breakfast for over one year. I use a small Hamilton Beach blender.

Good luck.

To be honest, I hated them! I couldn't wait until my liquid phase was over (I didn't have to do shakes during my pre op diet). I will probably never drink another Protein Shake again. After fills I'm supposed to do liquids for 24 hours. I find other liquids and avoid the shakes. Sorry I can't be any help for you other than I feel your pain.

The shakes were awful especially around the second week. I couldn't take it. I started getting smoothies from tropical smoothie once a day to break up the grossness. I got no sugar added and then I added whey Protein to them. I just found out that red mango now has whey protein they can add to their nonfat yogurt smoothies. I am soooooo excited that's a good post op snack.< /p>

      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.
