Pre-Op Shakes are nauseating



Recommended Posts

My surgeon requires a PURELY liquid diet for 9 days Pre-Op. I am struggling. The mandatory shakes (HMR shakes) have an okay flavor but the texture makes me gag when I'm trying to drink them. Anyone else have similar problems or advice? I am trying not to cheat but it is SOO hard.

Call your surgeon tomorrow and tell him...you'll probably have a liquid type post op diet too and it's really imperative you follow it...so see if you can get this nailed down now!

AND FYI...this period is vile but really worth it! Hang in there!

(can you ice them and then them some?)

I found that the ones in the can, pre-made, had a weird texture. I bought the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder and found that it diluted in milk really well. They also have a chicken Soup one that has the same Protein but not all the cloying sweetness. Eventually, i really got tired of all that sweet.

I also follwoed others advice and got a magic bullet blender. It made mixing the shakes much easier than pulling out the huge older blender. Much easier to clean too.

See if your doctor can let you drink unjury Protein drinks. They are pretty decent, and I would recommend them to you.

Good luck, and if you need someone to talk to please feel free to contact me.

I too am finding the texture *yuck* !! Thankfully, I only have to do 2 shakes a day, and then a light meal.

I did unjury for the first month or two, but I forced them down. I have also tried EAS chocolate Pre made (got a case at BJ's), not bad when your in a rush. Refrigerate a bunch, so their handy.

Plus the pre made are great to bring with you places. Now theres no excuse not to have your quota that day.

Recentloy, I have gotten Jay Robb (health food store) creamsicle flavor. Good with cold skim milk. Expensive though.

I can't drink an Unjury now if you paid me. I think they all end up tasting gross after a while, you'll probably have to switch it up.

The nutritionist said that the shakes made with isolate are the best. Easiest Protein to digest. Look for isolate as the first ingredient. The Jay Robb brand is one.

Good luck!

      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?

      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.
