Don't Waste Your Money- Shop After Pre & Post Diets Given By Md

[IsaacsGram 58]

I am now on day 2 of my pre-op diet, surgery in 12 days. In my anxiousness to "be ready" I bought cases of Protein shakes, soy milk, V-8 mini cans, a variety of fruits and berries, and high Protein Cereal & a dozen greek yogurts. GUESS WHAT? None of that is on my pre-op diet and the rest I can't have until 6 months after surgery! I had just read too much and thought I knew what was going to be ordered- I WAS WRONG!

So once again, remember---research, research, research---but always take YOUR doctor's advice BEFORE buying anything!

Also some of your tastes will really change after surgery...

I knew about the tastes changing after- but I thought I could use this stuff BEFORE....oh well....I'm giving it away to my kids(adults) and co-workers.

I totally agree! Even if the stuff is on your pre- or post-op diet, don't overbuy. Tastes change. I overbought the Unjury powder, and ended up trying to find a home for it. That was a waste of money, and that stuff is not cheap.

Unless you are all alone and have no one to go to the store for you, (just in case) i don't see needing to buy one or two days of post op stuff at a time(one bottle of Isopure, or some sort of Protein shakes). I say that but understand there are folks who live super rural and this is not always feesable. A lot of these companies on line have free shipping and ship super fast too.

I did the exact same thing and can only have Protein Shakes with Water.< /p>

I agree! Before surgery I bought a ton of broths, jellos, etc for my post-op liquid diet and most of it is still sitting in the pantry, I would just buy a little and if you need/want more you could always have someone get you some more.

I bought some cream Soups from WonderSlim for my full liquid stage, i liked them dureing a previous diet. Even if I dont like them post op, i'll save them for later down the road.

It's definitely true that tastes change. I am a southern girl and if I ever had tea it had to be sweet but the unsweetened tea is the best tasting thing I have post op

I too was worried about post-op tastes changing and ordered a whole bunch of samples from various online places that have been mentioned elsewhere on these forums. So far I only really like 2 or 3 different brands. Hopefully I'll like more after surgery? (fingers crossed)

Yeah.... thank goodness Unjury has a great return program... I cannot stomach the whey Protein post surgery. Turns out it tastes like hell with soy/almond "milk" I am ordering the Liquid Protein from Bariatric Advantage and hope for it....

Please post a review of it once tried! Post surgery I cannot tolerate ANY protein (even unflavored) and it is really getting me down.

I had surgery on 5/30, after about 6 weeks your stomach will/should tolerate most foods, just a lot smaller quantities.
