Sandra_Baby87 56 Posted April 20, 2012 I wish you well I am on day 4 of my 3 week liquid diet. I am scheduled for May 3rd. It is not to bad. The Protein Drinks are thick, don't really like Jello but better than not having it. I like the Spiru-Tein Protein Shakes. Many flavors to choose form and they are about 21 grams of Protein so 4 a day and I am good and pretty full to. your protein shakes are thick? i mix my whey protein with milk and blend. not really thick though....am i doing it wrong?

BeautyVGSJourney 99 Posted April 20, 2012 I miss mine with Water and ice, I don't think you are doing it wrong. I know that many doctors require a clear liquid diet right after surgery, so you could not use milk or most shakes. But it all depends on what your doctor tells you.

shortypants 26 Posted April 21, 2012 I'm going in the 7th!! I lost my 5%..and then I cheated two days ago... I had my final clearance by my primary, and met with my sergeon yesterday. He asked me if I wanted my sleeve tighter because I am short and very small framed. Any one have any input on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vsg30815 99 Posted April 21, 2012 I'm on day 6 of a 2 week liquid diet ~ 2 Protein Shakes and a sensible dinner. It is HARD!! I posted a video on YouTube (jmcbribe) about my progress. Surgery will be May 1st @ 730 am Eastern time. Im also having my hiatal hernia repaired at the same time so I expect to be real sore and gassy. I have the gas x strips and will be taking 2 prior to surgery. Anybody else on the 1st? 1 phatdivabbw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So we are having pretty much the same surgery. What are your stats im 24 years old, weigh 286, height 5'7. I'm on strictly liquid with a salad and fat free dressing. Why are you taking the gas x strips before surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki D 33 Posted April 21, 2012 I am on day 10 and 11 days to go on the liquid diet then I wake up and head to the hospital on the 3rd. So happy, excited, can't wait that long. Its a start of a new life for me dreaming to get back into a medium again. So long 3X never to see you again. 5 suzcomptime, vsg30815, shortypants and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 34, 252lbs and 5'5". I'm allowed 2 shakes and the sensible meal which I try to consume for dinner but before then, the shakes, Italian ice, Popsicles, broth are not holding me at all. They recommend the gas strips prior to surgery to help with the gas afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
