Fair2bslimLady 72 Posted November 12, 2012 Ok so I'm suppose to stack my liquid diet soon but I'm lost how do I go about doing and how many shakes do I take do I drink the broth cold or hot, need help *_* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted November 12, 2012 You should have a plan that was given to you. My surgeon required that I get 70 grams of Protein in a day. I could have as few as 3 shakes or as many as 5, but my total caloric intake was under 1000 calories. Check your particular plan requirements to see what they say. broth I'd drink hot, because the idea of cold broth just sounds gross. Don't forget about tea, too. Tea is amazing.

TheGamer 406 Posted November 12, 2012 Basically you substitute your meals with the shakes. I would recommend calling back and asking them for more specifics, because that sounds terrible they didn't provide you much guidance. You want to get a Meal Replacement shakes. My surgeon recommended Bariatric Advantage shakes, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is popular too. My two weeks went like this: shake made with Water and a little fruit or milk (not fruit AND milk, too many carbs!) in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I had about 1/2c of steamed broccoli every day. I could have up to 5 shakes a day, but I found that after the first week, I was having trouble eating even 3 of them. If you've been instructed to take any supplements, make sure you get those in, too. Get your 64 oz of Water a day and remember that even though it's going to be hard, it's worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
