I had the Realize Band on Tuesday. I had followed a 2 week clear liquid pre-op diet and am now on a full liquid post-op diet for 2 weeks. I need help with figuring out how to get all my liquids/protein shakes in. Thought I had it all figured out before-hand, but I don't. Any advice?It is not uncommon to be unable to get all liquids and protein in at first. Give yourself a few days and just do your best to get as much in as you possibly can.
Protein shakes are great for protein during liquids. I suggest going to GN****il you find something you like. If you open something, try it, and hate it then you can take your opened container back with your receipt and get a full refund. After you find what you like then find a cheaper source than GNC.
It is ruff at first. It does get easier. Keep sipping and sipping it will all change in a couple of days, I know for me it was about the 5th day and it all came together.
Good Luck. Hope to see you at the support group sometime.
