I am having to do the pre op diet for 3 weeks (yuck) but I do understand the importance of it! Saying that my Dr offers the Bariatric Advantage nutritional supplement to be purchased. Has anyone tried these products ( Meal Replacement drinks and bars) and if so what did you think of them?? It is quite a bit of money to spend. Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Scheduled for surgery August 7, 2010:biggrin2:

costco has premier Protein shakes for about $17.00 a case which is not a bad price. They are pretty good. I prefer them over the muscle milk light. (though they aren't bad either) It might be cheaper to go your own way. They also have chewable multi Vitamins (kirkland childrens) which are not bad. You can also try for some samples from Bariatric Advantage before investing a lot of money. I have found for myself that I cannot stomach chicken broth or bouillon. I have been using the premier shakes and vitaminzero Water. :svengo:

This coupon is expired but it shows the premier shake box. :confused1:

p.s. It gets easier each day on the liquid diet. The first couple days were really rough for me because I also gave up caffeine. You can do it!!! hell if I can do it, anyone can! :)

I tried them. I ordered them from Diet Direct and I am sure they are same thing. I actually ordered about $75 worth. I can't stand them, they make me gag. :(

I've tried both the strawberry and chocolate Bariatric Advantage Protein Shakes and really like them. Pre-op I used a blender, added ice and they were delicious! I'm only 3 days post-op so today I tried my first one, not blended. Not as good as that big frothy drink from the blender but I know I wouldn't be able to drink it all now. It took me over an hour to finish the 6 oz version.

      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.
