Liquid Diet

[Pretty_Heavy 6]

I am trying soooo hard to convince my mind that I a not starving and I can make it through this liquid diet. My stomach is on fire!!! It feels like I should be a freakin size 0 right now! Lol

Are there any "good" Protein shakes that have flavor variety?? So maybe if this liquid diet kills me it can at least kill me softly.

I started my liquid pre-op diet on Monday, and the first two days were BRUTAL. I tried a few Protein Shakes, but didn't like any of them. Really struggled to get them down and was starving! Then I saw a recipe on here for a "creamsicle" shake, tried it, and have actually enjoyed it (that's right - ENJOYED it!) for the past three days. Just mix a 1/2 packet of orange-flavor crystal light with 8 oz Water, then add a scoop of vanilla Protein Powder. Shake or blend well to get rid of all the lumps, and seriously - pretty darn good. I am planning to try this with some other crystal light flavors to see if I like them too.

Lol but I will try the Atkins thanks so much! Cause broth is like torture hahahah I'm trying to be positive and not think defeated! Thanks guys is everyone post op too?

Hey Pretty_Heavy, try the Atkins French vanilla shake, they are very good. I'm funny with anything if it don't look, smell, semi taste good forget it. But I know this is now a life change and that shake I tried and drank with no problem. I start my two week pre op on 6/10. My 7 year old son is still trying to get me to give him one after I let him taste it. Also someone above gave a recipe for orange cicle and I'll try that today. Good luck hun.

Can I have chicken broth as part of the pre op diet?? I just ate some veggies from a Chinese place. Is that ok or did i just cheat ??

It depends on your pre op diet. As for me, it's all liquids for 7 days. No solids but would love to eat some veggies now!

Yes I've had veggies from the Chinese place as long as they are steamed!!!

I buy Premier Protein from costco but you can also get it at Sam's Club. It is sooo good but I've only had the chocolate flavor. They have 30 grams of Protein, 3 grams of fat and 5 carbs. If you get lots of protein you won't be as hungry. Mine is a 2 week liquid diet pre-op but I can have greek yogurt so that helps. Keep up the effort because it is worth it!
