What kind of Protein Drinks does everyone drink. I've been drinking Boost and Special k. Are these okay to drink?





As we all know every surgeon is different and have different rules but I was told not to have these or smoothie because the sugar and calories are way to high

Wondering why nobody EVER responds to me. emoji53.png

I'm on the liquid diet now & this keeps me happy! My surgery is on the 30th of May. Lots of nutrients that most shakes lack. I've lost 25 pounds fairly quickly.IMG_0961.thumb.JPG.f7a932f1b9e5e80bff7bcb200b3bd908.JPG

Here's what I'm using for shakes. This makes two 16oz Protein Shakes with around 200 cal 30 g of Protein and 15 g or less carbs. Add ice or Water until just over 32oz & blend. Two scoops of each powder, & 2 cups of most fruit blends keep you in the right range for carbs. Check first so you don't go over. Garden Of Life e also has many nutients & 50 fruit and vegetable super foods. Drink one & save one for later.

Update:

I've survived week one of my two week liquid diet and doing great! As long as I'm sure to drink a Protein Shake 3-4 times a day, especially when I know I'm going to be walking a lot or do some sort of exertion. With this diet being aimed at having to stay at 500 calories to shrink my liver, my body is obviously running on fumes, so I have to be careful not to over do it. I've found diluting my Water with G2 (sugar free Gatorade) or Propel, helps when I feel I need more energy. I believe what has helped me to survive :) is sugar free popcicles and sugar free Jello in between my Protein Drinks throughout the day. broth is also a nice warm treat.

One week down, one more to go. Then surgery, May 31st!

I hope this helps others who may be worried about a liquid diet, or had trouble at the beginning as I did. Just don't give up or panic like I did, it gets easier. I have more energy going into week two, I just have to keep in balance.

Best of luck to all of you reading this and God Bless!

I loved the garden of life shakes, but I found that something in them severely upsets my stomach. Gas, & some serious distress. Lol

I am starting Friday. I'm glad I only have to do 7 days! I know it will be difficult at first, but As one other already mentioned "this is the last time I will ever be this hungry"
Those are words to live by!

I've been on it for three weeks and I have one week to go the first two weeks I was allowed one meal in the evening (with restrictions) after Protein Shakes during the day the second couple of weeks all Protein shakes no food I have six days to go Monday Clear Liquids and Water only Tuesday the 30th surgery. 200 cal 15+ grams of protein and 15 g or less of carbs but I use the whole 15 to avoid carb withdrawl which is similar to feeling sick and nauseous.

My surgery is May 30th. If your allowed a certain amount of carbs use all of them. Just don't go over. I've been on this for much longer than others I've seen on here. I had to call my dieticion because I felt sick and nauseous had no energy he told me I was allowed no more than 15 g of carbs per shake and he said I should use the entire 15 g to avoid feeling that way. 500 cal is that per day? My restrictions were about 200 cal per shake/meal, 15+ grams of Protein & 15 or less grams of carbs which I was sure to use all 15 of.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
