Recommended Posts

Hi again, decided to go overseas for surgery! Will be gone for about 2-3 months and was wondering if anyone could offer me tips on what post-op foods, shakes, liquids you recommend to take with me. I am sure that there will be food stuff where I am going because of the amount of people having the lap-band and sleeve procedure done there. BUT, it is overseas and they do not have access to the world of quality products we have here in the U.S.A...please let me know what tastes good and what goes down well to take especially for the liquid and mushy part of the post-op diet. Bless you all and thank you in advance.

Where are you going to have the surgery done? Living (and having been sleeved) in Sweden I can only speak for this country specifically but I can assure you that we have a fairly big selection of Protein products. You can get them in normal grocery stores, pharmacies and health stores, so not a problem really. For the mushie stage I was adviced to eat things like cottage cheese, scrambled eggs etc so all things found in the stores. :)

Best wishes and good luck with your surgery!

Ditto with NinaX - I live in Spain and have a wealth of products here, plus access to lots in the UK as well......so I would say it really depends on which country you're going to as to how much you need to consider taking with you.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
