Looking for July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I've started Protein Shakes yesturday.. My pre-op diet doesn't start till July 15th but I wanted to ease into it!! I'm replacing Breakfast and lunch with a shake and then eating a healthy dinner. It's not so bad! I bought body fortress whey Protein in chocolate and vanilla! Much better than I expected! I've been looking up recipes for shakes in Pinterest, so many options out there! It's crazy to think that my new life will start in 20 days... Yahhh, still nervous but getting excited for the journey! How's everyone else feeling?

My Dr. said no Peanut Butter mixed in with the shakes.< /p>

Does anyone know the calorie limit for the two weeks while doing the Protein Shakes? My surgeon wants me to have three per day, but I didn't ask my calorie limit. I would like to mix with unsweetened almond milk and add a small amount of natural peanut butter.

My surgery is July 7th. I am nervous, but excited. I have been told I don't have a pre-op diet, and just nothing to eat the night before. Also, I don't have to do the magnesium citrate.....feeling very lucky about all that!

Anyone on who has already had their procedure this month? How's it going so far? Good luck, everyone!

Well I'm using Bariatric Advantage. I've just had my second shake. A little too sweet for me. I'm not really hungry, but I will admit I would love to eat something. I'm drinking Water and cleaning my house t o stay busy a nd not think about eating. Hang in there.

I survived the night with the middle headache and some baby carrots because we are allowed to have one cup of vegetables a day. Hoping the headache stays away today. Unfortunately, I have my niece's birthday party today, but I am going to just say my stomach is sick as I have only told some of my family members. Here's to another day only 8 to go!

Hello 4my2girls, do you know why you were not required to do a pre op diet? I'm having surgery on the 18th and will have pre testing on the 7th. All the best to you on Monday as you start your journey.

      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.
