Protein shakes and pre-opt diet

[Heybrendacleo 48]

Any drink just Protein Shakes for their pre-opt diet?

That depends on your surgeon/nutritionist. What plan did they give you?

My surgeon/nutrionists' plans are here: http://www.360bariatrics.com/360-process/bariatric-diets/

I am on a two week liquid diet. Three Protein Shakes a day and a powered Soup for dinner. Nothing else!!!

How many days have you finished so far? How do you feel?

This is my third day. First day was bad, headaches, irritable,etc. each day has gotten easier but it's no joke! My husband is wonderful and he has been preparing dinner for the kids and I've been hanging out in the red room while they eat. That helps!

I am doing 3 shakes and one small carb free meal per day. I am on day 10. First 3 days were not bad, dsy 4 and 5 I was so hungry, and since then the hunger hasn't been too bad but I have no energy. I am so tired I had to take a nap at work yesterday. Its bad.

It gets easier! I'm 9 days post op, I had to do full liquid for 10 days before surgery and STILL on liquid for 2 weeks, only a week to go!

Bit it does get easier. I did 3 Protein Shakes a day. In between, if I got hungry, broth, sugar free popcicles, sugar free Jello. But mostly broth. I got tired of beef or chicken, so I started buying different flavor Soups and drain the liquid from them. I also had to hide in my room when it was dinner time at first. But now I'm good with my family eating in front of me.

What kind of Protein shakes are you drinking? If there are not high in protein, you will stay hungry. I used Bariatric Advantage, you can order online under that name. Low carb, low sugar. Very very filling.

I hope this helps! Good luck and hang in there! Your almost there!

Day 9 and I'm allowed one meal but have not been hungry...just drinking an extra shake.

I don't always feel like a shake so I have also been drinking the Isopure flavored drinks. A 20oz bottle has 40g of Protein.< /p>

Why is it hard for you?

I wanted to try those but they are on the expensive side.

Have you loss any weight with the pre-opt diet?

I use the Premier Protein shakes which have 30 grams of protein.

I was having a hard time getting enough Protein too. So my husband went to a Vitamin store and ordered Protein Shots. The are called New Whey Liquid Protein. They are 3.8 oz, and 42g of protein, 0 sugar, 2 carbs. They are my god send! Also, Unjury. com has protein powders, I get the chicken noodle, it is SOOOO good! Even my kids like it. It has 21g of protein. So, with a shot a day, and a couple cups of Soup, , I'm done! :-)

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I agree that the Isopure drinks are pricey, but I talked myself into them when I realized they were the same price as lunch at a fast food restaurant (I used to eat out a lot). I buy mine at Vitamin Shoppe which is slightly cheaper than GNC. I love Unjury also! My favorite is chocolate Splendor with a packet of Folgers Decaf instant coffee and ice. I make it in my Ninja and it's like a frappacino!
