Anyone need Medifast for Pre-Op diet?



Recommended Posts

I hope this doesn't violate any TOU or anything, but I have leftover Medifast. My surgery is tomorrow and I have a TON left over. (Probably over $125 worth - UGH) I have top pancake mix, marshmallow hot chocolate, amaretto hot chocolate, swiss chocolate pudding, vegetable beef stew, chicken Pasta Soup mix, and cream of chicken mix. Oh - and some chocolate marshmallow bars. I probably have almost 2 weeks' worth.

I thought I'd offer it up here because I don't think I can return it and honestly this stuff is EXPENSIVE. My surgical date is tomorrow. I don't have a price in mind - just make an offer if you're interested. I supplemented a lot with broth from Soups. The chicken soup is better with chicken broth and the swiss chocolate shakes/pudding are better as pudding in my opinion. Each serving is individually wrapped. I can give you a full breakdown and post photos if you're interested.

Just let me know. Oh - and the Amaretto Hot Chocolate is the tastiest by far!:laugh:

Are you able to use any of it post op for the first 4 weeks with more liquid and soft mushies? (rather than waste if, of course)

I thought about it but we have Clear Liquids one day, then pureed for 2 weeks then soft foods. My mom made me a ton of high-protein pureed meals for my next two weeks. (I went and bought the ingredients and the whey - she made everything) I have it divided into 1 cup portions for my meals.

I don't think I could do another 2 weeks of medifast. LOL!

I hear you! I don't think I could do it at all but it was just a thought and since the weather is getting warmer, I guess hot chocolate seems a little out of season.

Good luck tomorrow! I wish you all the best on your endeavor.

PS....you might want to post it on Craigs List and maybe let your doctors office know and maybe they can pass the word to some new patients.

Bumping up in case anyone needs Medifast. I had my surgery yesterday and lost almost 14 lbs on my pre-op diet. Have a ton left! See original post. :confused:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
