I am having my surgery in 8 days



Recommended Posts

I already have a week in liquid diet is very hard and think is one more week to go, is even hard to imagine but I am tired of Premier Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, crystal light flavor Water no caffeine and chicken broth. But I love flan I just wonder if I can make the Protein Shake into jello just adding some Gelatin? I wonder if is possible and if should be okay to do it? And if is possible?

Hey, it'd be worth a try! Since you can eat Jello I don't see why you couldn't eat Protein Shake jello! Let us know how it turns out!

I agree since you are allowed Jello and Protein Shakes it should be fine. I used to freeze my shakes and eat them with a spoon like ice cream. It helped me to stick to the diet.

I've made pudding with sugar free pudding and Protein Powder. You might try that if you like pudding. It's a nice change from the shakes and you feel like you're actually eating something. Also see if you're allowed egg drop Soup, that was a life saver for me.

      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.
