 Potsdam, NY RNY (02/15/12) Member Since: 11/10/11[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 12:23 pm So today begins my 9 day liquid pre-op diet. I am not very excited and the two shakes I had earlier were horrible. Of course they may have been more tolerable if someone in the office was nothaving pizza for their lunch. The smell was marvelous. I should be thankful I only have 9 days, I know some people have to do a longer period of time. Keeping my focus on the ultimate goal!!! |

 Member Since: 10/16/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 1:14 pm I have been on the preop diet for 2 weeks, then all next week-so a total of a 3 week preop diet. The first week was the worst. I drink tons of hot tea w/splenda when I feel like I can't take it anymore. I also love these laughing cow cheeses, 35 calories and yet so yummy! It will get easier after about a week. Good luck! |

 Member Since: 04/22/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 2:14 pm How limited are you? Can you "shake-up" your shake ideas? Have you tried: Blending with ice or frozen fruits? Using sugar free syrup or unsweetened coconut or almond milk (I love the chocolate one)? Adding in SF FF pudding powder? Or a totally different shake altogether? I love my About Time Birthday Cake flavor! Hang in there- this will fly by and soon you'll be waking up on the Loser's Bench. Good Luck, :Danni :Danni >>>AIDS/LifeCycle 10 Finisher: 545miles on the bike in 7 days <<< |

Potsdam, NY RNY (02/15/12) Member Since: 11/10/11[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/7/12 12:35 pm Thanks for the replies and ideas. I know we all can make it through this!!! I have purchased sf jello and pudding for mix ins. Tried the jello last night did not really make the shake more appealing. While on the shakes I can have yogurt or cottage cheese once a day. Last night I had cottage cheese and it never tasted so good. Nice difference to the sweetness of the shakes. Good luck to everyone on upcoming surgeries or other goals!!! |

 Member Since: 03/16/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/7/12 7:21 pm Some suggestions: Greek yogurt - high in protein, and can be considered a liquid by your docs office. Chike -- meal replacement -- fabulous flavors, 28 grams of protein, 190 calories. Adding dry non-fat milk to boost the protein without too many calories (the almond milk idea is great, too!) Using non fat, sugar free, dry pudding mix -- you can add a teaspoon or two, change the flavor & texture of the existing shakes you have. I love Pistachio with chocolate! Scoop of PB2, less calories than regular peanut butter -- or if you can pick up peanut flour -- flavor without fat & calories! Usually it is hard in the beginning, but just realize they want to shrink your liver -- not to torture you! I have been drinking meal replacement shakes for years -- I love Chike, it just taste great and makes sense when I figure out my nutritional numbers.
