It's funny how things can change in a couple days - I had a fill last monday the 5th and really didn't try much solids till around thursday-friday (I had an inkling I was tight) - allright lets be honest - I knew it but wanted to believe that I would loosen after a couple days and then I would lose more weight and the world would keep going round (please forgive my self-rationalizing idiotic mind frame) come the weekend I really couldn't keep anything solid down and knew that part of my new 'healthy relationship' with food (in progress) was to be able to eat solids - we were not meant to live on Protein Shakes no matter how much Protein they have in them. SO - Monday I went in and they took a little over 1/2 of the previous fill out. I still feel a little tight but the NP said I would be irritated/swollen for a couple days. we'll see - so forgive my lack of posting.

Today:

B: mocha cheesecake Protein Shake

S: 0.3 oz pirate's booty Snacks, 2 hershey kisses

L: 1/2 c. chicken tortilla Soup w/ 3 saltines crumbled and soaked in it - about a tbls came back up (maybe the crackers though)

D: malted mocha cheesecake protein shake

kawasakichick: my new favorite way to make my mocha cheesecake shake is 1 premade muscle milk lite chocolate protein shake (i've also used high protein or optima slim fast chocolate shakes with good results - muscle milk lite nutrients are better though)

i throw the shake into the blender (today it was slightly frozen from being outside in the frigid air and it was even better) and add to it 3.5 oz (1/2 small carton) nonfat plain greek yogurt (i use fage brand), 1 tsp espresso powder, 2-3 packets splenda and puree!

i recently started adding 1 tbls malted milk powder (only 30 cal) and it tastes like a ice cream fountain shake. I also add 1/8 c. benefiber - i don't really need the Fiber for regularity purposes but my dr has always said even the healthiest people don't get enough fiber.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
