Pre-Surgical Liquid Diet Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I started my weight loss journey on November 28, 2012, and my Gastric sleeve surgery is coming up on March 18th! I start my High Protein/Low Carbohydrate Pre-Surgical liquid diet on Monday March 11, and thought I've done my research on Protein Shakes, any suggestions to best ones would be GREAT! Also, any suggestion on chewable vitamins/supplements would be great too! :) Thank you!!!

P.S: Check out my weight loss blog at http://laideejae.blogspot.com! :)

i think i may have had my last Protein Shake for a long while...ive had it.

however, here are my 2 cents on the subject: i think the Premeir Protein ready-to-drink shakes are the best. it is available at costco in vanilla and chocolate. both flavors are really good.

I cannot stand isopure-- too gritty and expensive.

For powders, i think "Body by Vi" has the best powder. it mixes easily and doesnt have that protein aftertaste. However, Body by Vi has to be bought from a distributor- you can google it. hope this helps.

I drank Atkins advantage before my pre-op diet. However, when it was time for my pre-op, I could have not milk based products. My drinks had to be made with Water. I had some Syntrax nectar on hand, which helped out tremendously and was pretty good despite the fact they were mixed with Water.

I have had the nectar with almond milk as well. My NUT gave me a couple of samples of unjury, chocolate and vanilla. They were both good and mixed easily...again both with water. So I am sure they will be even more delicious in milk.

I have also had Pure Protein....it's okay. I've had Lean Body, Designer whey, Isopure and Cytosport.

What I have come to like about the Isopure Zero Carb is that when I add a crystal light packet it tastes much better and it has to be very chilled. My favs are the Alpine Punch and Mango Peach, I think it is.

I ordered the Premiere when Amazon had the amazing sale, so I'm not sure how it tastes, but I hear great things.

Much success to you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
