I'm starting Clear Liquids Sunday the 27th does that include the Protein Shakes or do I not do the Protein shakes on the clear liquid day?



Yes drink protein shakes on the clear liquid diet. Your doctor should hsve given you a menu/schedule

On my pre op liquid diet I could have Protein Shakes but not first week post op. Every dr is different.

I've been assuming no Protein Shakes on the clear liquid diet--just stuff that is actually clear, like Water, Crystal Light, broth, herbal tea, Jello, sugar-free popsicles. I do have some Protein water, too, which is clear.

Your list may be different, but I just checked my post-op clear liquid list, and the protein shakes aren't on it--they're added on the full-liquid diet. So better to check your instructions, I think . . .

My surgery is Monday. I'm ready. Going to finish cleaning out the fridge tonight, throw away anything that can't be eaten in the next couple of weeks.

I was sleeved on 8/10/17 and had cravings for certain foods that I was allowed in the next level as I advanced to the next phase of the post op diet. Crazy thing is once I actually ate the food, I didnt want it. In fact, it didnt even taste good to me. I think its just our minds going through changes...Stay strong! You can do it!!!!

      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.
