This is HARD

[hmar79]

So my surgery date is 10 days away. 8/25/2016. I have been on the clear liquid diet for 5 days and I am STRUGGLING YA'LL! The protein I purchased was not bad at first but now I have to literally choke it down! Please let me know what kind y'all are using. The kind I have only comes on vanilla and chocolate and I need me a variety. I have to admit, the very first day I felt like I was going to
Pass out and so I ate a slice of bread. Today (my 5th day) was the very worst. I've been crazy crabby and starving all day. I caved and ate a tablespoon of peanut butter this evening. I am afraid the doctor will know about these two little cheats. After I cheated this time I felt so guilty and kind of ashamed. :-(. Anyway I am a 242 lb woman, desperate to be at a healthy weight, and I'd love to hear some encouragement and advice. I sure need it right about now!!!

Isopure and Syntrax Nectar are two of my favorites...They're both clear and fruit flavored.

The purpose of the pre-op is to shrink your liver. It also helped me prepare for healthy post-op behaviors. And to get my head right!

I kept that desperation in the forefront of my mind.

Best of luck as you embark on your journey!

I was lucky to only have to do 5 days. Others don't even have to do it at all! I feel your pain, but it will be worth it in the long run. Good luck!

If it helps, I was told I could drink all the protein shakes I wanted. I even froze the chocolate ones and they tasted a little like a Wendy's frosty.

yes thankfully i only have 3 days ... think i will try that advice and freeze my shake!! that nectar is great tasting btw! and keep your head up look for the prize you can do this .....!!!

Premier protein drinks are great they have 30 grms of protein and they fill you up

I do Isopure protein powder in vanilla and chocolate

I drank Premier protein shakes and drank as many as I needed pre surgery. I would have 3 or 4 a day if needed. They filled me up and I also took liquid Vitimins. Kyani . Best of luck to you and hope your recovery goes well.
Thanks

Try PB2 - http://www.gnc.com/PB2-Powdered-Pean...uctId=15329556

I use it in both chocolate and vanilla mixes. Changes the flavor just enough but only use one teaspoon instead of two. Two teaspoons is way to strong for me. I use it with Muscle Milk Vanilla powder and EAS Whey Protein mix both have good texture and mix well with unsweetened almond milk.

where do you get these flavors?

[girlwitharosetattoo]

I started to experiment with different types of protein shakes and adding some frozen fruit to them as some others here suggested. Made a huge difference! Tastes more like a milk shake than a sickly sweet protein shake (I'm not a fan of them but I'm gonna have to choke them down ��).

All liquids is tough. I tried one all liquid diet in college (I weighed 123 lbs- WHAT WAS I THINKING???), and all I could think about was how badly I wanted to CHEW something, so I don't blame you for the occasional slice of bread!

I found mine two different places.

The EAS and Muscle Milk are at BJs and the PB2 I found at Safeway.

Labrada - Lean Body on the Go - REALLY good - I still drink them 4 years out quite a bit. Cheapest place I have found is here http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/la...dyonthego.html and I order them by the case and keep my pantry stocked then move a weeks worth to the fridge. It's more convenient and even cheaper with shipping then going to Walmart - alot of Walmarts don't even carry them - drove me nuts the last time I traveled and I couldn't find them at the local Walmart. I get my orders in less than 4 days.
