I get sleeved in a week



Recommended Posts

I am going to go to the store tomorrow and get appropriate foods for weeks 1-4. I am going to try and make the best of it. I love Jello, milk and yogurt so it shouldnt be that bad. I found Premier Protein shakes on Amazon. Anyone have any thoughts on Premier Protein Drinks?

Congrats! I'm just ahead of you, 5/7. My pre-op and post--op seems so different from anyone else's. I bought my Premier Protein today but I won't start that until the 2nd week post op. It's only Clear Liquids now until surgery. Then I can add Protein Water for the first week post op. Wish I could help but I haven't tried the Premier Protein yet.

I like Premier Protein compared to many other shakes I’ve tried. It still takes a moment to get used to it. One reviewer mentioned that the Premier Protein chocolate shakes taste like chocolate milk and I was expecting that taste. Whoops. Not exactly. They taste like an attempt at chocolate milk but made with Water. I prefer the chocolate over the other varieties. I like the vanilla EAS Lean 15. Small amounts of dry Jello powder can be added to make various flavors, like cherry, and adding ice and mixing in a blender adds something new to food plan.

I'm eight days post op....sitting on my porch this morning sipping on my caramel Premiere shake. I have all the flavors and can't decide which is my favorite. I've been drinking them consistently for the past four months and they're the best that I found.

how many of you are using a blender to make shakes versus the already mixed in a container type of shakes?

I drank the pre-made Premier Protein shakes. I loved all of them too - pre op. My tastes changed post op. Milk products don’t sit well with my new belly. It’s good to prep for after surgery but keep all your receipts. You may need to take some things back.

I just got home from the grocery store. spent 225.00. I got 3 kinds of dry Protein Powder. I got Soups, a blender, yogurts, gatorade, soy milk, regular milk, Vitamins, sugar free Jello. There are very small amounts of sugar in the Protein powders. Will that be a problem?

Fairlife milk has more Protein than regular milk. I'd suggest keeping your sugars as low as possible. Its a wonderful journey that you're on with all of us here cheering you on!

      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.
