butterbean 30 Posted May 21, 2012 So in my many weight loss attempts I bought a big box of Shakeology packets (chocolate). I like them and would like to use them either pre-op or post-op. They weren't intended for bariatric patients, but as a weight loss tool. I am taking a packet Wed to my NUT for his/her input, but wanted to see if anyone here had any thoughts about using them, either during my 7 day liquid diet pre-op, or during my post-op liquid (but not clear) phase. http://www.shakeology.com/web/shakeology/the-science (general info) http://myshakeology.com/uploads/fckeditor/mdbody/File/downloads/ShakeologyCocoa.pdf (nutrutional values) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyGastricSleeveLife 180 Posted May 21, 2012 I've used them before for weight loss & I think they'd be great. I just haven't bought them now since it's more expensive than other Protein Drinks. However, I think Shakeology is great for all the Vitamins & minerals & nutrients that are in it. I'd use it if I had it or had the money to spend on it. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatGirlSlim 115 Posted May 21, 2012 Im not a pro and I am pre op but doesnt that have a lot of carbs in it for one serving??? And it doesnt meet 1/2 of most daily Protein requirements within that one serving... I hope some of the experts chime in though. I have these shakes as well and they are pretty good!

MyGastricSleeveLife 180 Posted May 21, 2012 I'm not sure about the carbs, but as far as the Protein goes, you could always only do 1/2 a serving to spread it out more throughout the day. I currently have some of the Isopure Clear Liquids to help me meet my protein goals, but I only drink half of one instead of a whole one & get the rest of my protein elsewhere.
