13 days and counting!



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.

I am a Nursing Student, wife and mom of 4 little ones. We live in North Carolina. I am 13 days from surgery, currently in the throws of my liquids diet. I will be getting my gastric sleeve on August 6th!

I'd love any tried and loved Protein Shake recommendations and other ways you stayed sane through your liquids only. Although I know the end product is beyond worth it! I hope to get to know you all during our journeys.

Welcome! So far I've tried a few, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendour is my favorite. All of them taste just fine to me while I'm drinking them, but some of the others seem to leave an aftertaste later.

Welcome aboard!! I too came aboard a couple to few weeks ago. This forum is AWESOME!! You can get some good pointers from our peers. I will have my surgery on next Wednesday (7/30) and I found (for me) I tolerate the pre-made (protein) shakes. I have a problem with the after taste that some of the various powders leave.

However, I am ordering UnIjury products today (powder shake/chicken broth), because I hear such great reviews. Use any powders is what my doctors office informed me.

Good luck! :)

I have tried Bariatric fusion and unjury (the injury is my favorite). But have you found this thread? TONS of smoothie recipes. :-)

      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.
