I was told to do a 3 week Bariatric Advantage pre-op diet because my BMI is 50. I understand this is totally necessary, and will bite the bullet and do what I gotta do---- however, do I HAVE to use bariatric advantage ( sooo gross- I had samples at surgeons office) or can I use another Protein Drink 3 times a day?? I'm putting a call in to NUT but was curious on everyone's thoughts;).

I could not stomach the Bariatric Advantage either! It's simply not edible! I switched to four shakes a day of Premier Protein pre-made shakes a day for my two week pre-op diet. I still drink one a day now for Breakfast. They are the bomb digitty! I buy them at SAMs club for approx $1 a shake

I drink GNC Total Lean shakes. They have 25 grams of whey isolate Protein & other Vitamins & nutrients. They have vanilla, chocolate & strawberry premade. I add different flavorings (vanilla, coconut, almond) to the vanilla for a nice change but they taste good alone. They are also lactose free.

I lost about 18lbs pre-op. I was only on a two week diet, but was able to supplement the first week with one real meal. I swear by Premier Protein. They are comparable nutritionally to Bariatric Advantage, but taste sooo much better. My surgeons office required that I purchase a huge bag of it, and about $200 worth of bariatric advantage Vitamins which I cannot stand either :(

I LOVE the Premier Protein drinks! They are AWESOME! By far, hands down the best tasting Protein drink on the market.

I drink one or two everyday. Great deal = 12 for $18.88! Woot woot!

Agreed, the chocolate flavor is good. Vanilla, on the other hand, not so good. I can't get those down!

      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.
