Liquid diet before surgery
Surgery is over and feeling good. I wanted to tell you I saw Boost on sale at Lawtons. I think it was 8.99 per 6 pack.
Just a bit of information to think about. I've just recently celebrated my 3 year anniversary of the sleeve from Dr. Beausoleil on Feb 5th.
Before needing to do the 2 weeks liquid I thought I wanted to try it out to see how hard it would be. So I bought some Diabetic boost as I figured that would be the cheapest way. I did the boost for 5 days and while not impossible it was hard enough. When it came time for the actual two week someone told me that the ordered products seemed thicker and gave you a fuller feeling than the boost. So that is what I ordered and I am glad that someone informed me up front.
The Ordered shakes have a thicker more full feeling consistency than the boost. I totally understand the savings from getting the boost but at what cost. The ordered shakes are a bit more expensive but those two weeks of liquids are easier for you to do. Personally, I think the bit of extra was money well spent. I got the a mix of the shakes and the Bar's. I enjoyed the shakes but felt the bars were like chewing sawdust. however Ive heard from people who love the bars and hate the shakes. All a matter preference.Hopefully some other have done the same and may be able to agree or disagree, all I can do is share my experience :-)
One more thing to remember it is a tool as they say and not a quick fix. Back in October I got a wake up call that I had put on 30 pounds since my lowest and was edging towards 300 pounds. My starting weight was 440 but Once I broke the 300 mark I swore Id never break it again. I hit 299 and realized that bad habits do sneak back in and that it takes work. Glad to say it's just 4 months later and I am at my lowest in over 20 years. that wake up call put me back on the fast track to success. Always important to be mindful and though it is just a tool watching what we put into our bodies while working out is the perfect compliment to the tool
Cheers
