Liquids Before Surgery

[momof2ballgirls 1]

My surgery is Feb 12th and I started the Meal Replacement liquids today. I’m curious what y’all take for liquid dirt and if you were ready to just scream.

I didn't mind the liquid-only phase because I got to drink all the chocolate Protein Drinks I wanted! LOL!

I have to go on a 6 day liquid diet for surgery. VSG scheduled 02/05/2020. I have been drinking Premier Protein and chicken broth however I am quite sick of the Premier. I just made my own shake today with some samples of Bariatric Fusion chocolate shake powder I had and a little pb fit- it was so good! I have 3 more days of this. I feel hungry but I know it will get better. Keep your eye on the prize and keep hydrated. Were all doing this for good reasons! 😊

Bone Broth is great. For me I prefer PEScience select Protein Powder and mixed my own with Ripple milk (original unsweetened) and let it thicken in the fridge before drinking I wasn’t a big fan of a lot of ready to drink Protein Shakes. Although labrada lean Body salted caramel is pretty decent. I didn’t use Premier Protein (being allergic to iodine) for a grocery store rtd Protein boost Max is pretty decent. If you want juice flavor BariatricPal has juice protein mixes, I liked mixing with ocean spray 5 calorie juice (I ,Ike the grapefruit) they also have protein boullion mixes as well as protein powder mix with Vitamins. Lots of choices for liquids.

honestly, one thing I wish I’d known about for post op was BariatricPal Protein Shots (I like the pink grapefruit) 15 grams of protein, 60 calories, in a 3 oz shot.
