Starting Liquid Diet 11/22/2013



Recommended Posts

I'm two weeks in on the shakes and have only a few days left before surgery Dec 2. I'm doing the Bariatric Advantage shakes in vanilla and think they're really tasty! My favorite recipe is to add crushed ice, a sugar free chocolate pudding cup, 2 tbsp of PB2 and too it off with some skim milk. Blend it up and you have a yummy treat!!!

If you haven't tried PB2, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It's pressed peanuts with most of the oils and fats removed. Add some Water and you have delicious Peanut Butter and it's only 45 calories for 2 tbsp!!!

Good Luck! You can do it!!!

I haven't found a Protein supplement I like the taste of and am concerned about post-op. My surgery is the 13th, so I start my Clear liquids in just over a week. I was hoping to have something, I know I can handle before surgery. I've tried unjury, Optifast and Syntax nectar. I like sweet things, if that helps give anyone direction as to what I should try. One of the guys who works out recommended CytoSport vanilla flavor, but that cost $44/bag and I hate to open it, given the cost.

I am using the Bariatric Advantage chocolate and vanilla Protein. Did not sample many others but these have very little aftertaste especially after adding a little frozen fruit, But I have just finished my first day of my 14 total. Surgery is Dec 13.

How's the diet going? I finished mine yesterday and lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I was hoping for 25 but maybe I'll drop that today with the Clear Liquids only. I also drank the Bariatric Advantage vanilla and really enjoyed them. The last few days I was ready to have anything other than a shake but I think everyone goes through that! Today I would love to have one but I'm stuck with chicken broth and these awful Protein shooters called New whey Protein. It is the most horrible taste on Earth and tastes nothing like fruit punch as described. I just continue to hold my nose and try to let it go down my throat without touching my tongue! Lol!

Best of luck with the pre-op diet! I go in for surgery tomorrow but I'll check-in next week!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
