prepping for 2 week pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

So I went shopping today at GNC, Vitimine Shoppe and Publix to stock up on a variety of Protein Shakes for my 2 week pre-op diet, which starts on Monday. I am concerned about being able to stick to it. All the drinks i have sampled have terriable after tastes. My husband says "you just have to power through it" but i am really concerned. My brain is like okay lets go but my mouth is like nope-not gonna happen. AHHHH it is so frustrating.

I don't have to do a pre-op diet, but I have been having 1 or 2 Protein Shakes per day to prep on my own. I really like the Syntrax Nectar flavors. They have sample packs which is awesome. I do all the fruity ones with Water or crystal light and the "sweets" with skim milk. Protizyme also has a chocolate cake one that is to die for! I would try mixing with different things - water, milk, crystal light, Vitamin water. Something will click! Good luck!

Premier Protein is my fave...I like the chocolate, it tastes more like chocolate milk & is really filling, even with my big ol' stomach in tact. My pre-op diet calls for breakfast/lunch shake & 3oz lean meat & non starchy veggies. Good Luck!!!!

Is there any shake that is thinner like yoohoo consistency or even more watery. Or is there any that are like juice? I hate shakes, even full on ones from baskin Robbins.

This Premier is pretty thin...I don't like making my own shakes, I find that when I get busy at work they settle & become gritty. That's why I like these. I'd say somewhere in between choc milk & yohoo (sp? Doesn't look like I spelled it right!) in consistency.

U might try Isopure from GNC if u don't like shakes, they are more like fruit juice, all different flavors & tons of Protein.< /p>
