Ok so I need help.They say only eat broth, water,jello, & popsicles..Is it true?

Yep.

My doctor allows Protein Shakes as well.

Are you pre or post op?

[readyforitnow 9]

Pre

[gregthegroove 130]

Protein shakes should be allowed. You don't get any Protein with that other stuff. Unless it's like a day or two day deal. I had to do it for two weeks. I made Protein Shakes in a blender with banana, crushed ice, it was thick and great.

Get used to it because I'm on day 3 post op and that's all you "eat" anyway for a week.

Like others said, that list should include Protein Shakes too. Otherwise yes that is all you get on a liquid pre op diet. Crystal light and unsweetened Decaf tea (sweetened with Splenda) have been a lifesaver for me! Good luck!!

O God???? how will I get through this

[readyforitnow 9]

You will get through this because you know what the end result will be. Keep that in mind. That is what I'm doing.

The Protein Shakes will get you nice and full along with the Water intake.

O God how will I get through this

So your surgeon did not put you on Protein Shakes? I was on a two weeks liquid pre op diet and my surgeon put me on Bariatric Advantage shakes. Maybe it was an oversight on the sergeon path. Call the office and ask.

I'm on day 5 of liquids. Thought I'd lose it yesterday when I had to go into a grocery store but I managed. I have to have 4 Protein Shakes a day for at least a total of 80 grams of Protein. I can have Decaf drinks, Crystal Lite, sugar free popsicles, broth (thank God cause it's the only savory thing on the menu). Have to do this for 2 weeks. It's only really hard when I smell what my husband is making for dinner. So I find something else to do and leave the room. Today I cleaned my closet and drawers to keep busy. It was fun. I have all sizes of clothes and I can actually look forward to wearing some of them again. I also got rid of some of my really big things. I could wear them around the house, but I don't think its a good idea for me. I've also been buying smaller clothes a little at a time. Keeps me focused. I have them all together in my closet and I love to check them out every once in a while. I'm just trying to fill my time with positive thoughts until the 23rd. Doing this is a challenge, but one I'm embracing. WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!! Just need to help each other along.

I guess it boils down to how much do you really want this? The sleeve should help make weight loss a little easier but it's still going to be a ton of work, right? I mean once your post op, it's going to be some time until you can get back into regular foods. Think of the liquid diet as your mental and physical prep. I hope I didn't come off sounding like a jerk.
