I LOVE coconut water and....



Recommended Posts

........ Found some with added Protein whohooooooooo. Bonus is, it tastes lovely, the downer is its a little higher in carbs than I wanted (8g for 330ml) but at least I can get some Protein in earlier on (low in calories and fat though). Protein is 20g/330ml.

One kitchen cupboard cleared and cleaned today and all my goodies are in there for the first 3 weeks (and the 2 week pre op diet). I start the liquid diet on 9th July then in on 23rd I have the op. liquid vitamins arrive tomorrow and thats me sorted apart from making some broth to freeze in preparation for the first two weeks.

I stared at my cupboard smiling- hubby thought I had gone mad lol.

Good luck to all who will be changing their lives forever in July and gentle hugs :D

Its CocoPro. It does say shake the drink but I just gently turned it over a few times to keep the bubbles out and it was fine.

I ordered mine online and they come in singles and boxes of eight.

Hugs

I used to love coconut Water. Post sleeve it makes me sick. Hopefully your tastes don't change post-op on the things you are stocking up with!

Oh the drinks are for the 2 weeks before the op, the rest of the goodies are containers, recipe books, Water bottles etc etc. I will make some broth though for after :D

      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.
