Prepping!

[Nmelo723 24]

 

Bought a couple of things for the preop diet/post op liquids phase. Gonna go out and buy gold standard whey Protein (all time fave); still have to get crystal light, Protein Bars & some more boxes of almond milk.

Any suggestions as what to get would be great!

Don't go crazy. Remember that you'll only be able to eat or drink a few ounces at a time. At first, you'll be lucky to drink one of those gatorades in a day! Plus, check the nutrition label on that. Don't they have sugar? Also, don't bother with protein bars. It'll be a while before you could eat one. Also, Almond milk doesn't have as much good stuff as you might think. I don't think it's worth it.

The Protein bars and g2 is for the preop diet. They gave me strict guidelines to follow for a low calorie diet. Consists of drinking 4 Protein Shakes a day alternating between shakes and protein bars and just 1 meal a day.

Just be forewarned that your taste buds may change after surgery and that you may have to experiment to find something that works for you.

Premier Protein has a clear Protein Drink. I have to do 2 days of Clear Liquids leading up to surgery so I hope that keeps me from getting too hungry.

I saw the clear drink i have no clue where to find it. I've checked Walmart target and stop and shop, no luck yet. My pre op diet consists of all protein shakes/bars through out the day with only 1 small meal (bfast, lunch or dinner)
