Recommended Posts

Well i do buy the drozen fruit with no suger added' date='and it makes my shake taste so much better,and i needed the extra calories,because i was not eating enough,which can stall your weight,so it helps with the extra calories my body needs so it works out fine for me..i add the strawberries and berries mix..[/quote']

Most responses were no...too many carbs. They did not preficit the answer with yeah.. Its ok for a little bit. They said no. Think about this... When is the cut off? When do you plan to start reduction? What do you really want for your future? If you went through surgery to start a new, healthier life then start it. Find a shake you do like or can at least tolerate and dont try to keep going back to old habits. Yes, there will come a day when you may want to add more carbs and eat more balanced, but that is most likely, closer to goal rather than day 1. Just my opinion...take it or leave it for what its worth. Best wishes.

I add fruit and veggies to my shakes. My Nut said it was fine. Im three weeks out. I add about 1/4cup frozen fruit and same for veggies. I do this probably 2 times a week. My ninja pulvarizes it and it helps me feel less faint when im on the treadmill.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
