Day 3 of the preop diet and I have a question for those who have done preop diets.
Just take it one day at a time and remember you are THAT much closer to joining us on the losers bench. The misery of the pre op diet will soon be a distant memory!
Also bariatric fusion mint ice cream protein shakes with water and ice in a blender aren't bad.
Can you have powerade zero or G2 or crystal light? The syntrax nectar medical unflavored protein power is good in those. I also use Unjury strawberry sorbet in a 16 oz of water with 1 packet of crystal light lemonade. Do not use the bariatric fusion strawberry shortcake flavor in crystal light lemondae.
I was told I could freeze my shakes and eat them as "ice cream treats" don't let them thaw all the way though they must be eaten semi-frozen.
I am on Day 4 of my pre-op diet and I got the Vanilla Powder so I make mine with skim milk and 3 ice cubes.. My Nurse told me to be creatvie so that I didn't get burned out with it.. I know you don't like the sweetness, but maybe you could switch up the flavors.. So far I have done plain vanilla, I put some Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup, I have put a Crystal Light Packet in it.. Orange Flavor, I am going to put a little bit of pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice in it for a pumpkin one.. Frozen Fruit also is a good one.. it don't take much to flavor up a plain boring vanilla shake.. just make sure you count your calories if you are on a limited number of calories a day... Good Luck. You can do it.. It will be worth it.. Day 1-2 was the hardest for me.. right now I am doing much better.. I am down 10 pounds since I weighed in last Friday at the Dr. office.. so I am happy about that..
