Does anyone drink the body by vi shakes for their Protein Shakes? I have been drinking them for a few months now and didn't know if i should switch to something else once I have surgery or if i can continue with them...

My only "beef" with the body by vi shakes is that their main source of Protein is soy (it's listed first on their ingredients label). Most doctors want you getting your protein from whey protein isolate. I'd check with my doctor/nutritionist...

My surgeon made me buy two bags of Bariatric Advantage for my two-week preop liquid diet but i was not allowed to have them after surgery because of the Fiber content. If i recall correctly, body by vi has some Fiber in it. if so, you could probably have them again down the line.

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I'm curious about this too since I enjoy the body by vi shakes. I'm lactose-intolerant so the Vi shakes agree with me well since I mix them with lactaid milk.

      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.
