ready2Bslim 19 Posted June 20, 2014 Started my pre op diet yesterday. So far so good! Surgery on 6/28....hooray!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2aBetterMe 3 Posted June 20, 2014 Hello to all! My surgery is June 30 in Houston and today is my 4th day on my 14 day pre-op liquid diet...I'm already miserable! The sweet shakes are getting to me and I want something different. I tried the Unjury chicken Soup and it was ok. My doctors office gave me 2 huge bags of Bariatric Advantage powders. But I like the ready to drink Atkins and Pure Protein much better. I emailed my NUT today and she is concerned that in order to get the amounts I need the Pure Protein is too much. It's 23 grams a can and 120 calories. They are requiring me to get in atleast 700 calories. My protein intake isn't the problem it's getting all the calories as well without having too much protein...any suggestions and anything else besides the sweet shakes? Thanks in advance ????

2aBetterMe 3 Posted June 20, 2014 @@getnhealthyintx did you have to have atleast a certain number of calories to meet? I'm doing fairly well on my Protein but my nut says I need atleast 700 calories and that's what's hard for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KQH 69 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I'm on Day 5 and am becoming addicted to the Premier Protein ready-made shakes. Crystal Light Liquid is my other favorite to keep guzzling the Water. I'm down 19.6lbs so it's worth it - go July 1st team, GO! Edited June 20, 2014 by KQH 1 2aBetterMe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
