Has anyone started their pre op liquid diets? I start April 15th. Looking for good tasting Protein Shakes with low carbs. The ones I've recently tried had around 23-29 carbs. Is that actually BAD or GOOD?

i used (and still drink one each morning) whey extreme Protein (in chocolate) from Walmart. 28 grams protein per scoop.....its delish and only 14.95 per container..my dr approved it..it helps to find one you really like. i tried them all and some were just nasty. congrats on your surgery BTW.

smoothie king Gladiator Protein Powder is no day no carbs, doesn't taste as good as muscle milk but of course it doesn't, cuz muscle milk contains fat and sugar. Zero carb Isopure is great too, although extremely expensive and chalky tasting. You won't mind the taste of chocolate gladiator stirred with a glass of Water or blended with some berries

Btw- 23-29 grams carbs isn't that bad, so as long as you're not adding milk or fruit to it- so finish what you've got of that powder and then switch to smoothie king gladiator. You'll be glad you did! The lower the carbs, the more weight you'll lose

This is great...shopping forprotein shakes in not something I'm used to. I have a ton of them left over from nutrisystem...I showed them to the nut and she said to go for it. so I'm going to use those up but I also bought some from costco that my nut asked me to buy. The day I went there they were taste testing them and I loved them. Premade in case I sleep in or something. Good luck all...

I used the same pre-op! And will continue to use now that I'm post-op! You can add a tablespoon of Peanut Butter and almond milk for extra protein and its delicious!!! Though I haven't picked any up yet there is a peanut powder PB2 that people rave about bc it's got all the protein/taste of Peanut Butter without fat and less calories!

      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.
