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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
