Bariatric Advantage for pre-op?



Recommended Posts

The NUT at my surgeon's office recommends them. I have tried them and I really like their taste. My favorite one is the banana and of course the chocolate. I hope you like them.

I have been using them during my pre op and now post op diets. They are not bad, but not the best tasing sometimes. I sometimes use a drop of almond extract in the chocolate or banana extract in either vanilla or chocolate to change them up a little. 1 scoop of vanilla, 1 scoop of chocolate, 1 sweet and low. 4 ice cubes and 1 drop of coffee extract is pretty good too.

Pre-op they were okay. I found I liked other brands better like Syntrax, Jay Robb, etc. Post-op I can't do them.

I used them for pre-op. They were SO MUCH BETTER than Opti-fast, and a LOT cheaper. However, they were only ok. I only got the vanilla flavored and just added sugar-free Jello mix in to flavor (the best was orange, which made a creamsicle). I just got really sick of them after a couple of days.

I personally hate the Bariatric Advantage. it tastes like they try too hard to make it taste "real" that it's worse than the cheap stuff. haha. I use pure Protein Powder. I like both the chocolate and vanilla. but I prefer the chocolate even though I'm usually a vanilla person!

I had to drink them in the hospital post-op -- the ones that come in the bottle and you add liquid and shake. I thought they were okay but not great. Sort of chemical-tasting.

Thanks for all the responses. I've heard that they give you a "full" or "satiated" feeling. True or false?

      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.
