Amherst76 1 Posted October 24, 2011 We're all doing it together, so cool to have support from people that are going through the same surgery ...it's comforting! My e-mail address is Laura_marie77@yahoo.com I just had some carrots and my Protein self made shake this am. I start work at 7am, so I have my first shake pretty early. Yea, my Dr said the same thing...this diet is for the liver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amherst76 1 Posted October 24, 2011 I have a hard time with the Protein Shakes. I put yogurt in them to try to make them more statisfying. Any suggestion on what is a good brand/or trick to use? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kksinisi 25 Posted October 24, 2011 I put a little splenda in with the vanilla mix I use (Designer Whey), then a whole lot of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. I love that flavor and it makes me feel like I am having a pumpkin pie shake. And after surgery I plan on actually putting pumpkin in as well! I have a hard time with the Protein shakes. I put yogurt in them to try to make them more statisfying. Any suggestion on what is a good brand/or trick to use? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RhondaLynn 10 Posted October 24, 2011 I found that if I used fat free or 1% chocolate milk it made my shakes sooooo much better. even if it was chocolate powder I put in the chocolate milk. Then add a sweet n low. Rhonda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy123 7 Posted October 25, 2011 Hey girls. I'm set for my sleeve on Nov 1. I have been on a strict liquid diet since the 18th and boy it's been tough. Proteins, broth, fruits, vegetables and sf Jello. First few days sucked but a week tomorrow and ive lost 8.5 lbs already. But, did I mention it's hard? Especially since I have little to no support and my family still has to eat and I'm the one cooking for them. But..... 1 week to go. Hopefully I can make it. We all can!!! Looks like we are all in this together!!! Go us!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
