Thank the Lord for Nectar!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 7/20 and for the first few days didn't necessarily struggle to get in fluids, but it was a constant push all day long to get in approximately 40 oz of Water....I'm 5 days out and the one thing I've noticed in the two days I've been on "full liquids" as opposed to "clear liquids" (2 days post op) is that I'm sick of the after taste of things like Vitamin Water, propel, Powerade zero, etc. I had ordered some Syntrax Nectar samples and left the samples in my work office by accident. Just got to work and tried the Twisted cherry first. Oh, Lord, I think I may exceed my Protein goal (30 on full liquids) today by end of business! It's so yummy! It's funny how some of the most simple things are those that I'm most grateful for in this process! :)

You may have better luck -- I found it to be like any other drink and so it is an added bonus to get in the Protein as well.

This morning I had Twisted cherry and loved it. I tried apple ecstacy this afternoon and can't take it -- it tastes minty for some reason :) Loving the sample variety pack for this reason and bought it here at the bariatric pal store!

      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.
