4Th Day Of Liquid Diet

[Billie 1]

I am new to the forum with a surgery date of July 2nd and on my 4th day of the liquid diet. Things are going pretty well except I cannot stand the taste of the Protein shakes; I even tried mixing them with crystal light which helped a little but I guess it is what it is. So far within the first 3 days I have lost 9.5lbs, not to bad I don’t think. Husband and kids are being very supportive however it is a little hard to not sit down at the dinner table with them as this is something we make sure we do in our house no matter what. I just keep the big picture in mind. Here's to another day of Protein shakes and crystal light; I did have chicken broth last night and it was amazing! lol

Have a great day!

Welcome to VST and congratulations on your journey. I probably won't be starting my liquid diet until Aug. 1st. as my surgery date is Aug. 14. I've been sampling lots of products. I enjoy Protein shakes (vanilla by Body Fortress) mixed with yogurt and such (1% milk, fresh fruits, etc.). Some of the Syntrax products are pretty good tasting.

Good luck on your journey & glad to hear you've got a great support group.

Good luck!!!! I'm had mine done last year August and it was the best decision ever. I'm down 101 lbs. surgery isn't bad at all just make sure u follow exactly what they Say and as soon as possible after surgery begin walking to eliminate gas and avoid blood clots.
