What Meal Replacement shakes did you use before surgery? I'm not required to do any pre-op diet but I'd like to try the shakes and see if I could loose a lil weight before surgery. Thanks!!

I use Unjury 'cause my NUT suggested them. Can only buy on the web, but you get the shipment fast (I get next day with regular shipping). I like the taste, but some don't!

First off, I must clarify, we do not use meal replacement shakes, we use Protein Shakes or Protein supplements. Meal Replacements shakes more often then not are much higher calorie than we should be using.

Now that I got that off my chest, I use Unjury, Syntrax Nectar, Premier Protein, & hemp protein.

Lol...you still replace a meal with the shake...henceforth "meal replacement"

I do understand your logic, however there are "meal replacement" shakes & "protein" shake for example,

Unjuty & nectar are Protein Shakes, they deliver 20g of Protein with 100calories

Slimfast. Boost, Carnation, Ensure are meal replacement shakes. With these you will typically be consuming 400 calories to get the same 20 calories, but do have a mor complex nutritional profile.

Also, they are marketed differently. One is a health & fitness supplement(protein) the other is a diet product. If you go to Walmart & ask to see the meal replacement shakes, you will not see Protein Drinks, as they are marketed on different aisles.

I use Protizyme and Matrix brand Protein Shakes. Protizyme has great flavors like Peanut Butter cookie, vanilla and chocolate cake, as banana cream pie.

Do you buy directly from them? Just curious to see who sends them out that quickly.

I buy Premier Protein shakes at costco, they are ready to drink. They can be costly but I think it's well worth it. They are easy for on the go and are well mixed, no yucky after taste. Each serving is 30 grams of Protein, 160 calories, 1 sugar and 5 carbs. I get 18 shakes for @ $24.00.

Yes, can get Unjury only from their website (I think). They are in Northern Virginia. I am in Delaware, and I get them the next day EVERY time (and I don't pay for rush shipping!). They have a sample pack I believe...

      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.
