Preparation and advice!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! So I have a question of what to order and have in stock before surgery? I am scheduled for the sleeve on 12/4 and I have been researching a lot but what I put from others experience. Also has anyone tried the nectar Syntrax Protein Powder I was just thinking cause they have so many flavors??? I work in the hospital and on a busy floor and thinking Protein Shakes and shots might be good for me while working as getting breaks are hard at times. Any advice I would love and thanks in advance?

I really like the nectar ones. I ordered a sampler pack and ended up getting a big tub Peanut Butter cookie. Every morning, I use a half scoop of that and 1.5 scoops of ON chocolate whey from costco. Almond milk and ice. Blend. It's the one thing I have not gotten sick of yet.

Thanks for the advice I found a vanilla Protein Powder I like but was trying to find something with different flavors that had the Protein benefits. I’m glad to hear that someone has tried this brand because everyone talks about premier and I hate the taste of that brand.

My answer is.. nothing . Don't waste your money you can't predict what Protein Shake you will like or not. Taste buds change so much. If you do buy things tiny amounts . Alot of us encountered alot of waste.

nectar. Isn't bad.. but it's hard to get used to the flavour. Some people love 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.
