Pre-Surgery Diet Shake Substitutions?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is in 2 weeks, and I start my per op diet tomorrow. Any suggestions on alternatives to the shakes they sale at the doctors office. They are totally gross and make me throw up. Is there anybody who didn't drink the Protein Shakes before surgery???

Unjury chocolate splendor is really good, but you have to buy them online. GNC isn't bad, a lot of people like the Protein Shakes from Walmart, it's all trial and error as well as personal taste.

I'm with you, I'm having trouble with the shakes. I get one sip down and I throw it back up almost immediately. The first 3 days of the pre-op liquid diet weren't too bad, but today is the 4th day and I'm feeling hungry and I have no energy. I know I need the Protein, but I don't have money to keep buying expensive Protein Drinks just to turn around and throw them up. My surgery is on Monday and I'm worried how the lack of protein will affect me.

Trim fit from GNC the chocolate Peanut Butter is pretty good. To me it didn't have that Protein after taste

      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.
