Pre-Surgery Shakes



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone - My surgery is scheduled for 01/29 and I've started thepre-surgery shakes. 3 a day!!

I was wondering if there was anyone else on the shakes. I'm using the Biatric Advantage brand and originally got Stawberry and chocolate. I found the strawberry to be horribly disgusting. The other flavors is banana, vanilla and Orange Creme. Is there anyone else out there on the shakes and which ones doe you prefer?

I tried the Bariatric Advantage, they are vile! The chocolate was the best of the bad lot.... Try Unjury, they taste so much better. The Chocolate splendor actually tastes like chocolate not chemicals. You can order a few samples and see what you think, but you can only get them online. Good Luck!

I like the all ready made Slimfast shakes. chocolate is my favorite but I like the strawberries and cream and French vanilla as well. They are in 10 oz plastic bottles and Wal-Mart has 2 bonus free bottles in each 4 pack so you get 6 of them for under $5. They have 10 grams of Protein.< /p>

If you need a higher Protein they have a high protein version of Slimfast at Wal-Mart as well. I'm going to use them post op.

Doesn't slim fast have too many carbs and sugar?

Slim fast high Protein has 180 calories, 9 grams of fat, 4 carbs, 2 grams sugar, and 20 grams of Protein. The fat is a little higher than I would like, but I still think they are a good choice.

Good luck to all of you going soon. Is anyone going on February 11 to Tijuana? It would be nice to have someone to track with. But not as a competition, just someone who is experiencing the same thing at the same time.

I liked the BA Vanilla far more than the chocolate or any other flavor. Honestly, they're not bad if you add fruit and sweeten them up a bit. They're tolerable, which is really all they need to be pre-surgery.

      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.
