Whatever Protein Shake you decide on needs to have NO sugar....The weight will come of VERY slowly if at all with all the sugar in regular slimfast. I use nectar by Syntrax (chocolate mousse, or french vanilla) both delicious and you can mix it with chilled coffee and milk and a little SF Syrup for a YUMMY iced coffee Protein drink!! (I did a youtube video about how I make this!) My pre-op diet was 3-4 Protein Shakes a day with 5oz of protein for dinner and as many veggies (no starch!) as I wanted with dinner. I did that for 2 weeks and lost 16.6 lbs!! You can do it!! <3

Where do you buy that? That sounds very good. So Lean CUisines would not be something you reccomend? This sounds like an easier diet to follow then all liquids. I know I would really struggle with that.

I get my Protein powder from the Vitamin Shoppe. My dr wanted me on a low carb diet, so that's why I wasn't allowed sugar or starchy veggies. Here's the link to the video!

THanks so much. I am going to try this. I hope it works for me. What kind of exercise were you getting during this 2 week period?

None!! I didn't work out at all! Actually I didn't start really exercising until I was 3 months post-op and then I started doing the c25k.

Awesome...Thanks! I have a little less then 3 weeks to get this done. I have to lose it by Oct. 7. Hope I can do it

You can totally do it in 3 weeks. I didn't start with the two Protein Shakes and broth based Soup the first week. I had two shakes and a normal dinner the first week and then went to shakes and cream Soups the second week and then went down to the broth based soups the third week. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. I wish you the best!

      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?

      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.
