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>

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
