I’m drinking premier shakes, caramel. Yes, a bit chalky. I also have Premier Protein Water.

I also have Unjury Protein mix, chicken Soup flavor. Pricey but very, very good. It is savory.

pother than that…Deer Park water…64oz per day. Knowing that I would be drinking A LOT of Water, I invested in a water cooler and have 5gal bottles delivered monthly. In the long run, it will be cheaper than slugging bottled water.

Where did you buy Unjury Protein mix? Never heard of it.

Today I got creative and made a Soup from the list of allowed items.

I sautéed some mushrooms celery carrots and green onions with garlic and threw them in some chicken broth, simmered on stove for a few minutes. Honestly delicious and filling. I forgot I can have zucchini too so I’ll add that next time.

had a Protein Shake for Breakfast and then some baby carrots for snack. 2 16 oz bottles of water and then maybe for dinner lll do a Tomato and cucumber salad with just some lemon juice squeezed on top

It might not be so bad after all

Unjury is on Unjury.com. Might be too late for pre-diet but definitely after surgery.

Your approach with the variances sounds good…you’ll make it!

Im a simple eater. chicken and broccoli for dinner. Peppers a cukes for lunch. Three shakes.

My list doesn’t allow chicken! I wish!!

attached is my list.

I’ll check out unjury!!

I can only have one small meal per day of 3oz Protein, unlimited non starchy veggies, 1/4cup starch. The rest of the day is liquids and non-starchy veggies. Day 10, all liquid.

My pre-op is basicly liquid only with the addition of fresh vegetables in broth. Since cucumbers and vinegar are allowed --> voila, pickles! Kosher pickles are my new best friends!

March 10
started 2 week liquid diet today. Only allowed sugar free drinks, Water, Protein Shakes and for snack a few choices of vegetables
its been really rough so far/ how bad would it be if you cheat?
i just want a boiled egg or some tuna salad. I’m so not a sweet person I need something savory. Even plain Greek yogurt will do

Hi Krasavitza,
Im on day 13 of 14 on a liquid diet. I went with the milk and yogurt diet. I had also the option of 2 shakes and 300cal meal with extra veg. But the first was easier to go with. Day 3 is hardest, but after that it gets so much easier. Spoke to my bariatric nurse on friday and she said as Id lost 20lb in 10 days to swap out some of my yogurts and add a 300cal dinner. So if after a week you are still struggling speak to your nurse to see what options you have or swap outs you can do. Good luck, you’ve got this [emoji1303]

My pre-op diet doesn’t seem super strict. 2 Protein Shakes (Premier recommended) and then a 400 calorie dinner. On MyFitnessPal premium I inputted 720 calories as my target with a mix of 50% Protein, 30% fat, and 20% carbs to yield 90g protein target. Just finished Day 2, so it’s early days but not bad so far. I typically wouldn’t eat during work hours anyway due to stress and being over consumed by work so it’s not a huge change for me.
