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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
