Soon I will start my pre-0p for 10 days. I can have 4 Meal Replacement shakes and 1 meal a day. The meal replacement shakes I've had before are "Wonderslim". I order online from dietdirect.com. The chocolate is very good. The shipping is fast. They have went up in price 11.99 a box of 7. But right now if ordered before May 15 and input the coupon code "SHAKE20" you can get 20% discount off. Plus shipping is free if you order over 49.00. Trust me some of the flavors are good, the chocolate taste like a milkshake no aftertaste. I didn't care for vanilla, to me it had a little aftertaste. The only way I can drink the vanilla is to add a very little orange sugarfree Jello which made it taste like a orange creamsicle.They are 100 calories and 15 grams of Protein with Vitamins and minerals.

What do you mean by one meal a day? I am on a 14 day liquid diet. If I can put it in a blender, I can have it. My surgeon also wants me to have 70-90 grams of Protein per day. I am using GNC Total Lean and it actually taste good.

My one meal aday consist of 1 Protein seriving 150-200 calories, low-starch vegetable 100 cal. 1 starch serving 100 cal and 3 fat servings 120 cal= approximately 500 calories. So its a 4 + 1 meal. 4 shakes and 1 meal

I am May 8th as well just started my pre op and so far so good I prefer the chocolate shake I am so excited to be getting closer

Yay, surgery day twins!

I hate all the Protein Shakes at this point but Pure Protein frosty chocolate isn't bad.

I keep telling myself if I can get through these next few weeks I can get through anything. I truly never thought I could have this much willpower with food, but I am making it.

I am excited for all of us!

I've hear a lot about an Unjury drink that I've never heard of before. I've actually chosen my shake as the Atkins advantage Protein Shakes, the vanilla ones, I've tried the strawberry but I didnt love those at all. Has anyone tried them? And if so has anyone tried the chocolate

I am using them for on the go. My husband has used them for some time as a Meal Replacement. He is a diabetic and they are the best for him. I have tried the chocolate. My favorite is the Mocha Latte.. very yummy. I am going to buy the unjury for at home and use the atkins for my work/office meals. I am in field sales so I am always on the run and for this to work for me I need to be able to pack it to go. I know that this is a huge reason for my weight. I am a fast food junkie. I eat to much on the run of the wrong stuff. Not anymore. I have already started to watch my diet a lot. I don't start liquids till 5/4. My doctor says I can have as many Protein shakes a day that I want and Soup broth. NO fruit, Veggies, or carbs. I can also have a lean chicken breast or fish no skin or major seasonings. From what my nutritional specialist says my Dr. doesn't count the calories at this point he is more concerned about liquids and Proteins getting in. I still don't think it will be easy. I am sure I will be craving all my old favorite foods! hang in there everyone I am not far behind you.

I am scheduled for May 8th. I am new to this forum . . . just became a member yesterday and am still trying to find my way around here. One thing I have noticed as I've read various posts, is it seems many folks were on a liquid diet far longer than I will be. I've not started yet and don't meet with the nutruitionist until Wed, which is less than a week before surgery. Does that seem unusual?

[eyewonder 24]

@JIR218 Not at all from all the post I've read. All Doctors are different in their given procedures. So count your blessings, you are truly fortunate to have just a few days to pre-op. Wish that was me!
