Yardsleever 81 Posted December 4, 2016 Are you allowed other liquids? I have been doing 2-3 shakes and mixing GENEPRO in broth at dinner. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elisa5150 212 Posted December 4, 2016 Trust me it's easier to just hate it and muscle through. One day at a time. If you look for a work around you'll find cheating at the end of that slippery slope. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackieemac 36 Posted December 4, 2016 I feel you.. I'm on day 10 and I'm just not even hungry anymore mostly because I just don't want to have to drink another shake. Just try and keep super busy to keep your mind off it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilson06 31 Posted December 4, 2016 Everybody keep saying liquids but my doctor didn't say that when I start on 14th. He just said Don't gain weight and Do a low no carb basically. No bread no fried foods or Pasta. I can eat meat as long as it's grilled or boiled and plenty of veggies. Please let me know what you'll are doing so I can try also.

sleeveisa 333 Posted December 4, 2016 mine started yesterday and I already hate it!!!! 4 Protein Shakes a day, I'm over them by the second one, anyone got any tips?!I'm on my 5th day, I brought a rotisserie chicken and took the meat from the bone and boiled it. This was my broth for a few days. Made a smoothie from Greek yogurt and a banana. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiarraim 14 Posted December 4, 2016 Try blending ice cubes and non-fat milk with your Protein Powder, that makes a nice change. I use a brand called Vitaleph, which is recommended by my surgeon. I am on my 3rd week of the shakes, and it is getting boring. I got some of the GENEPRO Protein powder and mix that with Water. I never really liked broth before, but I like it just fine now. I have a cup of that in the evening. Hang in there...it's only for now. Surgery Date December 6th in Tijuana. Just 2 more sleeps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Janlou 19 Posted December 11, 2016 I am on day 5 of my liquid diet! I actually made a big pot of homemade veggie Soup, and then just strain the veggies out. Tastes better than plain broth! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday December 14th, and my approval from insurance didn't come through until two days ago!! I was starting to sweat a little Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polarbearwifey 25 Posted December 12, 2016 I should do that now, a big pot of veggie soup.... that's a good idea. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
