SydneySweetHeart 21 Posted March 6, 2014 Hey everybody, I was wondering if you guys have had the same problems. I'm 17 and getting the sleeve in 3/13/14 and they put me in this 2 week liquid diet and I'm suppose to drink 3 a day but I'm having trouble finishing one. I keep throwing them up. I have lost weight but I'm feeling sick all the time. WHAT DO I DO!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfyeffect 257 Posted March 6, 2014 If I were you, I would discuss it with my surgeon. He/she may be able to recommend a different kind of shake, or at least prescribe some anti-nausea medication for you. You will need to drink these shakes to some extent after surgery as well, so finding a way to tolerate them is going to be crucial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McButterpants 2,846 Posted March 6, 2014 Hi there. I admire you for going thru this surgery at 17. Wow, you are brave and I'd give you a pat on the back. I agree with the poster above - you should contact your doc. They might have a suggestion on a different kind of Protein shake or different options for you personally. They should also know you're what you're not tolerating so they can provide a solution for you post op - shakes will probably be a part of your post-op diet as well. Best of luck to you. I look forward to watching your progress! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SydneySweetHeart 21 Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks! I will tell him when I see him Monday. I am very sensitive to aspartame and Splenda so I'm thinking that might be why so if you know of any kind without that stuff in it. I talked to my nutritionist and she didn't know of any.

Aileen-March 2014 Sleeved 45 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I only had to do a 10 day liquid diet. My surgery is March 11th, so I am in day 6. The first 2 days were bad with a headache, hunger, and feeling like I was getting detoxed for sure. At this time, I feel great and did after day 3. Be sure to have at least 60-80 grams of Protein on the liquid diet.< /p> My surgeon also said I could have chicken broth, sugar free popsicles and Jello. So, that helps. If I am hungry, I just make another protien shake. I have lost about 8 lbs.. Probably Water weight. But, at least my surgeon will be glad I did. He said I needed to lose at least 10 lbs. before surgery. Good Luck to you. Edited March 6, 2014 by Aileen Pre-Surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McButterpants 2,846 Posted March 6, 2014 You can purchase the ingredients to make your own. The artificial sweetener may be causing the problem. I hope you find the solution on Monday!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SydneySweetHeart 21 Posted March 6, 2014 My surgery is on March 13th so I have been on the liquid diet for 7 days. It is easier now than the first three days buy I can't seem to keep it down. But I'm not sure if it's the shake or my Vitamins. So I guess I will just have to talk to my doc about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khaske1 14 Posted February 17, 2015 I tried EAS drinks and would gag every time I took a drink so I went to Vitamin Shoppe and got some Protein Powder calls nectar and I tried a few single packets of different flavor and got strawberry kiwi, mix that with a little bit of crystal light and the whey Protein taste diminishes! So good but when you poop it's red lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
