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:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
