All Liquid Pre-Op Diet help



Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone!
I’m on my 6th day of this liquid pre-op diet that consists of 4 Protein Shakes a day. I know some people have diets where they can have solids, but it doesn’t state that on mine. I’m having issues with the Protein shakes. I’ve picked up several kinds and I’m having a hard time getting them down at this point and I almost rather not consume anything. I definitely need the Protein though, so I’m trying to push through and not starve myself. Did anyone have a similar experience?

Try mixing up the Protein Shakes a bit. I added PB Fit to a chocolate Premier Protein and it’s so good! I also bought some puréed pumpkin and added that plus some pumpkin pie extract and that was really good. As long as what you add is low in sugar I think you will be ok. I was specifically told by my nutritionist not to add banana because of the sugar content or that would have been the first thing I tried!

Try Unjury’s unflavored Protein so that you can mix with what you can drink!

Congrats on your 6th Day. I was looking on the site. They have fruit flavored Protein, and iced tea. Have you tried those? Maybe drinking something that isn't a shake would be easier?

Hi. I had to buy my pre-op Protein Shakes directly from my doctor. One of them was really good. It was hot cocoa Protein Shake (mix w heated water). Then after surgery, I'm liking vanilla EAS Lean 15 (15 g Protein, 5 or less g sugar) blended in blender w ice (put ice in first and turn on then add Water and add ins then blend), water/milk, scoop of powder, and PB Fit (I use this) or a spoon of PB (if allowed in shake per dr), or berries (if allowed per dr), or cinnamon. It's good and a nice change from regular shakes. :206_cat:

      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.
