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:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
