Surgery Set For Sept 11Th... Only 3 Protein Shakes A Day! Help!



Recommended Posts

So i met with my surgeon thursday and set my date a little less than 2 weeks away. Problem is he wants me to only have Protein shakes... 3 a day and thats it and lose 15lbs. I work 13 hour shifts at night and havent been hungry but very weak with a raging headache... any advice? I broke down tonight and had a small salad with some turkey on it... i needed something to get me through the next 9 hours of work!

Hopefully your headache is gone by now and sorry you are not feeling well. I have my surgery on Sept 10th and this is my 4th day on the pre-op diet. It hasn't been bad and yesterday was the first day I actually started to think I was hungry... You can do this and you are so worth this right now... Can't wait to hear your success story...

Best of luck on your surgery day and sending positive energy your way

Ha! We just might be sleeve buddies! I too am 3 shakes a day with a weightloss goal of 5-10kg (times 2.2for lb) but if I don't reach it I have to weight till 9th October! So I am struggling too. I am at the end of my fourth day and have already succumbed to chicken and veg tonight. But staying focused on the prize!! I am allowed unlimited non starchy veg so plan on making some Soups to last me through. Good luck!! You CAN do this!!

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
