What protein shake for your Pre-Op diet?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office has Bariatric Advantage. I had a sample mixed with 8 oz skim milk and the choco was terrific (in fact the best choco Protein drink I've ever had, I'd say), the vanilla was good, the orange cream was too sugary/gross, and I have a sample of banana, but I'm thinking it's going to be disgusting for me. What brands are you all using? How do you prepare it?

2 weeks away from starting my pre-op diet, 5 weeks til banding (if all goes according to plan!)

I used Atkins brand ready to drink Protein Shakes and Muscle Milk Cookies and Cream. As for preparation I just keep myself busy and gain an addiction to candy Crush. :D sugar free popsicles was my best friend during my pre op diet. Good luck to you and I will see you on the other side!

I have tried several (nectar and jay Ross, body fortress). I just went to the Vitamin shop and the guy suggested a cassen protien instead of whey protien. Carb/ cal/ fat are all within my limits. But boy it sure does taste better.... And a better consistency. Calling RD on mon to make sure it's ok. He says it's a slower digesting protien which will help stay full longer. Cause I am hungry within 10 min of these whey shakes!!!

Hubby n kids having mcD. I'm not even tempted!

I used Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey powder and they had me mix it in milk for max Protein. This is one of the best Whey Protein powders out there. And the nice thing was my gym sells it and they ran it half off right when I needed it!

      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.
