RichGirl 15 Posted November 12, 2012 I'm starting my pre-op diet this Wednesday and went and bought Light Muscle Milk and tried it this morning to see what it would taste like and it was HORRIBLE! If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. I've got to find something that tastes relatively decent if I'm going to make it through this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnaRabbit 16 Posted November 12, 2012 Good luck. I am four days post-op, bought No-Whey liquid protein-revolting!!! Dr. Said skim milk is fine, and usual broth, sf Jello, sf ice pops. Not hungry, but worried about Protein.< /p> Best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 12, 2012 I got the Optifast from the Dr's office. Its the only one he advocates so its the one I used. It was pretty decent actually. Better if you put it in the blender with ice and made it more like a milk shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted November 12, 2012 costco Premier Protein shakes (chocolate). I put mine in freezer for 30-45 minutes and it tastes like a smoothie. Very tasty, no after taste. Eighteen 11oz shakes in a box ready to drink for $24.99 here in California. I'm still drinking at least 2 daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheryl2586 3,053 Posted November 12, 2012 I dont like muscle milk either. I like EAS carb control chocolate. It's probably the best I have tasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 12, 2012 Muscle milk was indeed AWFUL! Try the EAS if you want premixed, or I hear the Walmart shakes are good. Also, if you want to try powder the EAS powder works well. I use almond milk, unsweetened, it is lower calorie and higher Protein.< /p> 1 lauradevans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darbyjack 5 Posted November 12, 2012 I used Barriatric Advantage Protein Shakes. All were extremely good. I also bought Protein Soups I found on Amazon....think they were by ProtiDiet. I like the chicken noodle and split pea, especially mixed together with a boulion cube. In the 2 week pre-op period, I had some hard boiled eggs and also had some canned chicken, along with the shakes, Soup, Jello, and broth. I ended up losing 20 pds on the pre-op diet ! Good Luck.

Banditiff 51 Posted November 12, 2012 I live nectar brand' date=' lots of flavors including fruit. The Cookies and cream is great.

I ordered the sample pack before surgery (surgery is this Friday), and I just placed an order for the Double Stuffed Cookie last night so that I wouldn't suffer without it after surgery! Lol The Double Stuffed Cookie by Syntrax Nectars is AWESOME. . .it taste like a Cookies and cream shake. . .NO KIDDING. . .and you can't taste the Protein whatsoever! Don't know if out matters to you, but it is also made with isolate Protein. . .THE BEST! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
