Day 3 of Pre-Op Diet - Shake suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Finishing up Day 3 of my Pre-Op Diet (11 more to go until surgery!)

My doctor's pre-op diet guidance is

  • 1 low-carb yogurt (I've been having fage 0% with a packet of truvia)
  • 1 cup of skim milk
  • 4 Protein Shakes / day (1 of which I can have with sugar free pudding)
  • Unlimited calorie free drinks + sugar free Jello + popsicles
  • No caffeine, carbonation

Caffeine headaches have finally subsided and I am rocking caffeine free living.

Unfortunately I hate my Protein shakes. Hate them. Bariatric Advantage high protein. Vomit. I feel like I've tried everything including mixing with pudding and nothing works.

I'm thinking about picking up a store brand shake (allowed as long as it has 20+ grams of protein, limited carbs and <150 calories) Any suggestions? I'm dying over here.

I really like the Atkins advantage. I'm addicted to the mocha latte shake. It's 15g Protein, 1g sugar, 160 calories and 2g net carbs. I tried the muscle milk... Vomit. I also tried EAS and the strawberry wasn't bad but overall the advantage ones are the best. I also had syntax double cookie and its way to watery. Yuck. I lost 13 pounds by doing the Atkins for 14 days. At least try it, you can buy them in a 4 pack for 5.99 and if you hate them, throw it away and you haven't wasted a lot of money.

Just an FYI, but the Atkins Advantage website has a coupon for the shakes and you can get 3 bars free for signing up.

I mix 1 scoop Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade with one packet of Crystal light lemonade on the go and 1 cup of Water. Tastes very refreshing! I bet even better with blended ice.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
