Protien Diet Anyone??



Recommended Posts

Oh no, I think I'm in trouble. I had my first liquid protien today. It is an EAS brand and Strawberries and Cream and it's so gross. I picked this one to have first as it sounded the best to me (I hate chocolate). It's not so much the taste but the smell! Such a strong Vitamin like smell. I'm wondering if it would be better if I bought some frozen strawberries and poured it into a blender and whipped it up or something. If they are all this bad, I'm in trouble! LOL Luckily I don't have to do the Liquid Protein diet for 2 weeks before surgery. Just need to up my Protein, watch my portions, nothing white like bread, rice, popcorn, etc.

day 3 was easier and day 4 (today) I am not hungry I just want to crunch on something...like an apple or cool crisp lettuce. I am dropping pounds. I will keep going. I went and got my nails done tonight to distract me from wanting to eat. My husband was laughing because everything on TV was ohhhh that looks so good, to me. Hey my nails are cute!:thumbup:

I soooo don't have any willpower yet...

My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet so I'm doing it on my own. At first, I was going to do 2 shakes and a small dinner, but then I wanted to go all out since a lot of people can have nothing but the shakes. Last night, I was so hungry after work on my first day of the diet that I begged my fiance to let me have dinner, and I caved again tonight. But at least today I feel so guilty that I think I'm going to try again. Besides, the hunger during the day wasn't as bad today as it was yesterday. I'm hoping I can get through this, I really want to lose a little weight before the surgery!

First Protein shake this morning and it is utterly foul. I don't know how I am going to do this until the 13th. Not sure which is worse - the fake vanilla flavour or the Vitamin after taste!

I wonder if we can have soft drinks and coffee during all this? My birthday is the 7th and I do plan to eat a real meal that night. We're having people over. Other than that I am really going to give this a go. Wish me luck, I don't want to mess with my surgery!:laugh:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
