Protein shakes upset my stomach. Does anyone have any ideas.

Something that I've done @@trim200 is take my Premier Protein and mix it with a cup of low-fat milk or low-fat chocolate milk (fairlife milk or whatever its called) and add in fruits like strawberries, banana's, peaches and even some veggies and blend them all together it definitely covers up the thickness of the Protein shake. Let me know if this works for you.

Another thing I do is prep my fruits into zip-lock bags and freeze them so it's nice and cold when I blend them.

I am ready...my preop diet is a bit different...I have a 14 day high protein/low-carb diet....I start on 7/29/15.

This sounds the same as the one I will be following-when you get started on it would you mind letting me know how you find it please? I will be starting mine on 4th August. ????

Does anyone else not have to do a pre-op diet? I only have to start Clear Liquids two days before surgery, nothing else.

I have to do low fat before surgery but I had my gallbladder taken out in March and so they know my liver isn't fatty so no other diet restrictions. I can even eat normally until Midnight before surgery.

      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.
