First day of pre-op diet!

[pixiesmurf 36]

So I'm drinking my first shake (I work nights so this is my "breakfast"). I chose to make a mocha shake. Weird consistency but not bad. Just trying to get it down lol

I have a greater aversion to the funky smells of the shakes then I do to the actual taste going down.... I do admit to nearly puking a few times.... I am on my 19th day pre-op and have lost 16 pounds.... you can do it!

Thanks! I actually couldn't smell nor taste the Protein in this one. I think the coffee helped mask it lol...next up is chocolate Protein shake, strawberries and bananas!

how long are your pre-op diets? My Dr. requires only 5 day of Clear Liquids prior to surgery....My day it May 24th...so I will start mine on May 19th.

have you tried any of the nectar? I like the road side lemonade...it is real good..I drink them now just for the added protein...and I have tried...several different kinds.

I haven't tried any of Nectar...I saw them on the Bariatric Advantage page but wasn't sure about them

[Lisha73 97]

The nectar you can buy sample packs...I found a place that I bought like 11 packs for $15....I found that I love the roadside lemonaide...and I kinda like the Cookies & creme too...I can tolerate some of the others...but will buy cookies and creme and lemonade on a regular basis...if I find the page I bought the samples on I will send you the link

[Lisha73 97]

By the way...sure hope you survived well to day would be day 2....good luck...and keep updating.

_{o and on the the nectar I like the double stuffed cookie and the lemon tea as well....LOL had that wrong a bit}

Do you mix them with Water? Some people suggested using skim milk to add Protein.< /p>

[Lisha73 97]

U can mix some of the with milk...I used only Water when I did all of them....but I dont think I would mix lemonade with milk...the the double stuff cookie would be good with milk...you can also mix them into crystal light as well...we discussed that in one of our classes.

Day ONE liquid pre op!!! Woo woo!! I taste-tested a tiny amount of a bunch of shakes to see which tasted better with Water or milk. I'm chillin out with a piña colada smoothie for supper! Yeahyado!!
