ugh to the liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

I started my liquid diet on December 2nd on first day i followed schedule completely which is morning, lunch, dinner and evening snack is a Protein Shake and I'm allowed 3 light yogurts a day and then all the Water, crystal light, sugar free Jello and popsicles i want but on day 2 and today i just felt sick every time i knew i had to drink a Protein shake, so i only got 2 in instead of the 4, will that not shrink my liver? i haven't cheated and ate solids my only problem is, is that the protein is so gross to me i can't stomach drinking 4 a day

I was sleeved 11/9 and had a similar issue right befor Thanksgiving. I called my NUT and she recommended I use the unflavored Protein Powder so I can mix it with anything (Crystal Light, etc) and not be tied to a specific flavor. It's called Unjury. Good luck. Hope you find a balance soon.

Unjury has 21g of protein and 0 carbs per scoop. It's not the 25 you mentioned but very close.

Better get use to the shakes your going to need to drink them for awhile. Try the eas pre made advant edge. They are not as thick as others but have less Protein so you'll need to drink more. They are low calorie too.

Muscle milk chocolate is pretty good. 32 g Protein. I started Dec 2 too. My first week is 2 shakes and a very low carb dinner. Next week is 3 shakes a day. I am 36, 5'6" and 274...lost 3lbs in the last 2 days from pre op so far....and getting sleeved Dec 16. You will likely not have an issue with your liver, your pre op is a lot harsher than mine even. Different types of broth with unflavored Protein would give you a salty taste without a ton of calories. Maybe ask your NUT if you can sub out something during pre op, but we are all doomed to a shakey fate post op! Good luck to you!

Oh, also....I have read a lot of people that use GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder because its 30g Protein in a tablespoon.....conflicting opinions on how much protein can fit into a tablespoon.....but that would be less shake drinking and still a lot of protein.

I use the unflavored nectar. It's not thick and pretty much tasteless.

Thanks the problem is I haven't even met with a NUT yet that's not till the 7th because I self payed so I didn't have to do all these things required by insurance so meeting with a nutritionist and all that for me starts after surgery and just meeting them a week before also because of my BMI and weight I didn't have to lose any weight before surgery so I literally didn't have to meet with anymore just get my clearances and then was all set

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
