Pre Op Diet Started Today

I use soy milk or almond milk for my shakes made with Bariatric Advantage. I like either of these better than dairy milk. The shakes taste better. The soy milk is Calcium enriched. It's also low fat. Plus, it's more protein!

I find myself tired - low energy - while on this pre-op liquid diet. Does anyone else experience fatigue? It's not the worst fatigue. But it's a feeling of being slowed down. My memory does not function as well.

For those of you who are willing to use soy-based Protein (I am) another alternative for shakes is to mix the powder with some very soft tofu (you can get low-fat versions). Mix along with some soy milk/almond milk or even dairy milk for more protein. Not everyone enjoys tofu. I love it because I grew up allergic to dairy products and learned to rely on soy. I also mix in some frozen fruit and ice cubes with the Bariatric Advantage power. It works for me. And I hope that this can give others some ideas. This liquid diet is definitely challenging. When I go to a restaurant with my colleagues, I order chicken Soup and eat only the broth. That gives me something savory to eat. I do, however miss gin & tonic, vodka, wine, been and caffeinated coffee. i wish you success.
