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>

      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.
