Pre-Op Shakes are AWFUL!



Recommended Posts

I just started my pre op diet (even though dr. didn't say to) and I was very happy with click expresso. Not bad at all. Tomorrow I'll try the unjury chocolate sample and let you know.

Im curious to see how you like that one as well... I had someone suggest it to me! So let us know. :)

I've found the Atkins shakes are tolerable for me as they have no soy. However, the downfall with At,ins is they only have 15 grams of Protein. I would like to have more. I think I might checkout the Isopure drinks. Worth a try I guess.

I saw a recipe on Pinterest where you use a Starbucks Iced coffee mix packet, whey Protein scoop and some chocolate powder. Sounded good but I haven't tried it. Although I did buy Chike (not click, I have that too!) and it's a vanilla latte with two shots of expresso! Yummy! I made it with almond milk. 20g of protein!

I called my Dr and it slim time or ensure with Protein no other options so I will make the best of it , the Starbucks is a good idea though

My nut has me starting my preop today. shakes I was told to use are the EAS shakes. I have had them before in the past and I remember they are tolerable. Any better suggestions. Are the premier ones comparable in Protein and calories? BTW if you live near a Publix the EAS ones are on sale this week

The Premier Protein shakes (I find them at Kroger) in chocolate are good compared to most others and they are 160 calories, 30 grams Protein, 3 grams fat, 5 grams carbs (1 gram sugar). I also tried the Ensure high protein. For me, they had a yucky metallic aftertaste.

I tried the Unjury chocolate splendor this morning and by itself it was okay and tolerable but then I Added a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder from trader joes And it was pretty good. Tomorrow I am going to try the vanilla and will let you know my thoughts. :-)

I am currently drinking the Premier Protein frosty chocolate and vanilla and they are so nasty! I had to drink them because I didn't get anything else before I started my preop diet but I just got my tub of Isopure unflavored powder in the mail today so I'm about to go to the store to get some frozen berries to mix it with! I'm also allowed sugar free pudding so I thought cheesecake or vanilla pudding would be good with it.

Was it the Premier powder you tried? What a shame! The Premier pre-mixed shakes are not bad--I have not tried the powder. Do try the pudding and a bit of fruit with it to see if that helps. Otherwise, try another brand. You will have trouble sticking to the diet if it makes you sick.

No it was the premixed ones lol I guess we all have different taste buds! I tried my unflavored Isopure powder and it's MUCH better! I mixed it with frozen strawberries, peaches, and spinach and it's really good!

      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.
