Good morning so I just started my liquid diet today I don’t get my nutrition class until tomorrow. These shakes are sickening sweet. Does anyone have any tips or just power through it?

You can dilute with more milk to help with sweetness. Not sure what Protein since you didn't state which, not everyone uses the same products pre-op.

But pretty much, pre-op is all about powering through stuff. Just do your best to stay on task and not stray from your pre-op diet.

Pretty much every single person gets a different pre-op diet around here. It seems that surgeon's all have their own ways of doing things. That includes what Proteins they suggest.

Little tip for post-op since LOTS of folks will have issues with lactose post-op. Ensure that your Protein is all or mostly Protein Isolate and not Protein Concentrate. Concentrates have high levels of lactose since they are really just concentrated milk. Isolates have little to no lactose since they are highly filtered and refined.

several companies make unflavored Protein powders. It does have a slight taste, though, so you'd have to mix it with something else to cover that up. Unjury makes a chicken soup-flavored powder, but then , you have to order that through their Web site, so it'd probably be a week before you get it - maybe too late.

I got GENEPRO from Amazon on Prime Deliery. Today is the first day i used it and i feel oh so good about getting all my Protein in before i leave work. Now i can focus the rest of my night on Water intake since i still have about 30 ounces to go.. and if i really want something i will have a popcicle.

Unjury makes a great chicken Soup Protein Powder. You will have to ask your NUT if it allowed on your pre-op diet. It is a no no for my pre-op diet but post op is fine.

      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.
