I'm drinking Premier Protein shakes

I started my pre-op today. I've had 2 shakes so far. Very gassy and my stomach is making some crazy noises and it's only day 1. What else do I have to look forward to? I'm hungry too

@@Bonawanabfree thank you for all the info and I'm going to start getting prepared for my pre-op and surgery. On March 8th I'll have my food funeral. Just want to be healthy /happy. Even tho I've lost almost 40 pounds on .y own. My bp seems to go up and down. That stresses me out

my Pre-op appointment is March 11, we will choose a surgery date from there!
but sometime before the end of March.

I really like the chocolate & the vanilla, not a big fan of the strawberry.

@@judi48 I have heard that Gas-X can help with that. I am lucky I have not had that issue yet. What else are you allowed to eat/drink?

Have tried premier, GNC brand, muscle milk, and body fortress whey protein... I prefer the premier!

I started my pre op last Wednesday and the first 3 days were rough. I did cheat a little each day but I buckled down and got back on track full force the 4th day. I would be fine until I got home. At work I did everything I was suppose to do. I realize that in order to beat the hunger pains at night I needed to get in bed earlier and that really helped. I'm on day 7 and things are going pretty well except for the occasional headaches. 7 more day....ugh!!! I can do this. My surgery date is March 4 and I'm scheduled to be the first one at 8 am. Good luck to everyone!

Ahh this gives me hope. Started my diet today and I don't know how I'll get through the rest of the week though I know I will. Good luck and best wishes with your surgery :-)

This is day 8 on pre-op. I'm doing 2-3 protien shakes per day and cabbage or brussel sprouts occasionally. I need to lose another 6lbs by next thursday and I'm freaking out!! I woke up this morning and the scale said I GAINED a lb!! How does that even happen?!? Anyone have any advice?? I have to be under a certain BMI to avoid having to pay an extra fee. 6lbs in 7 days.....someone help!

I am also scheduled for March 9th! Later in the day at 2:30

Good luck with your surgery!

How many calories/carbs/proteins are you eating? I have been sticking to 800 calories, under 100 carbs & 100 g Protein. It's been a total liquid diet for the past week and I have lost 12lbs. I can have Protein Shakes and 1-2 cups of creamed Soups strained or a low fat Greek yogurt.

@@cassie_vsg I know this sounds extreme but go on a liquid diet. sugar free Jello, broth, Protein Shakes, 1 Protein Bar a day. This is my diet I have to be on for my surgery and I have lost 4lbs in 2 days! It will make you a little nuts the idea of not eating but it will help you drop the lbs you need to.

[cassie_vsg 26]

I've been drinking between 48-64oz of Water per day...drinking 2-3 Premier Protein shakes which are 160 cal each and very low carb. I'd say my overall caloric intake is roughly 500-700 cals per day depending on how many shakes I have. My NUT said my pre-op should be 3 shakes and leafy greens....nothing else. I'm just super frustrated today. I'm hoping that the scale is nicer tomorrow. ..
