Recommended Posts

I agree feel the same as @sarahbee my doctor is putting me on the same thing low carbs the with only liquids 24hrs. pre-op. I wonder why there are so many different takes on this from doctors and hospitals.

My office had it....but u can order it cheaper from Amazon. I hated BA but made it through.....if u were in the neighborhood I'd give you the rest if mines! I'd say get vanilla..you can mix anything with it...whereas you are limited with the other flavors.

I'm with the same group as Caligula and got mine at the office. I didn't mind it, I always added one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of chocolate and 2 ice cubes and Water. I am 8 days post rny and doing well. I'm being a very thankful lady this week!

Sorry, Caligul

I am struggling! It is the end of my fifth day. I am supposed to have 5 Protein Drinks a day and can have broth, s/f Popsicles and Jello. Last night I skipped a drink and substituted for salad greens and chicken breast that was the equivalent of the drink. It helped only now I worry it was a bad idea. I way 240 and am already losing weight in my belly. Anyone else cheat?

I am just finishing day two of the liquids and my headaches are killing me. I am allowed h2o, broth, Protein Shakes and SF Popsicles or jello too. Oh and I can have chicken or a lean cuisine under 300 cal. once per day. I had chicken noodle Soup tonight and ate a few of the noodles :(

What's the worst is the dang headaches!!! No excedrin allowed and Tylenol is not working as I hoped. :(

I did notice this morning that my tummy appears more "deflated" than usual so that's good! I am 235 so very close to you.

Drink more Water. ..and just think some people aren't even allowed to have that lean cuisine. ...hang in there it gets easier. ..start trying to focus on non-food related activities. You can make it!

I am on day 11, 2 days left. The headaches are from detoxing. I cheated 2 times. One day I substituted 4oz. Chicken and a low carb veggie for a drink and it helped. The next time I cheated BIG time and had Chinese take out and spent the night vomiting. I don't recommend that. lol

I start my liquid diet on Sunday. Do y'all have any suggestions as to where to buy the cheapest Protein Powder? Also did you buy the unflavored, flavored, or both?

      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.
