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!

      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.
