I couldn't do shakes, so my second week consisted of high Protein milk and yogurt. I used fairlife and YQ.

I've seen a lot of people can't stomach it after surgery, so keep these in mind if you have problems.

Good luck!

Gabybab that’s exactly what I was worried about! Thank you! I was thinking about using almond or coconut milk

I'm not sure that those milks have enough Protein? Are you vegan?

Most people handle Protein Shakes just fine. Give a few a shot before you rule them out!

Have plenty of variety of liquids to choose from I had Gatorade Zero, unsweet iced tea, Diet Peach Snapple Tea, and sugar-free popsicles in addition to premade GNC Lean shakes (chocolate)

@Gabybab no I’m not vegan! Just thought of using those to mix my Protein with to not risk milk upsetting my stomach

@GradyCat Thank you! I’ve got like 200 packs of crystal light and some Jello and popsicles!

@sillykitty thank you so much! I will try! 🙂

And, although unlikely, you could turn out intolerant to either of these. Start with cheap, before you opt for the more expensive milks, okay?

For those who are may be unaware of the FairLife animal abuse case that is happening, please know the other options for milk that exist. What happens on the Fair Oaks farms is horrific for the calves and moms & the video that surfaced last week is unbearable to watch.

Please know the other options for fortified Milk & avoid FairLife at all costs.

      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.
