Pre Op Liquid Diet For Vsg Surgery

[myvsglife 2]

Hollo : I will start my pre op liquid diet in two days it's a 15 day liquid diet. Does anyone know a good Protein that you can recommend that is budget friendly and I can you use as a Meal Replacement.< /p>

Body Fortress is a good Protein and it is relatively inexpensive. You can get it at Walmart or online. If you want a Meal Replacement (protein + vitamins) maybe GNC Total Lean? Pure Protein is another good, budget-friendly option (Kroger, Target, online).

Premier Protein - I paid $24 for a case of 18 at costco. Tastes better than others on the market too, best super cold!

I think the premier is one of the best. Also GNC total lean

If you like chocolate, I can't recommend Premier Protein enough. A good runner up is EAS carb control chocolate. I think Premier costs about $1.50/shake and EAS is about $1.25/shake. I liked them so much I never tried another brand.

I had a 2 week all sugar free liquid diet preop. I lived on premiere Protein. It's my fave!! I've actually been living on it for months. I lost 50 lbs preop thanks to premiere protein.

I prefer the Isopure powders. 200 cal, 50g Protein. ~$2 per serving. Vitamin Shoppe online has the best price that I've found. Another thing that's great, is it mixes better than any powder I've used. Here are the flavors I've tried:

Dutch chocolate (low carb): My favorite

vanilla (zero carb): good, solid. My wife's favorite

Strawberry's & Cream (zero carb): Just started this one for the first time this week. Wife's choice. Much better than I expected. I think it's my second favorite.

banana Cream (zero carb): very good. Probably equal to strawberry, imo.

pineapple, Orange, banana (zero carb). I didn't like this one, but I managed to get through the tub.

My neighbor was sleeved about 4 years ago, and he highly recommended the Isopure RTD for post op. High in Protein (50g), but much more expensive (~4$ per bottle) than the powder. But, you don't have to worry about air.

I agree with the posters about both the Premier RTD and the Isopure powder.

I've been using one scoop of the Isopure zero carb vanilla (105 calories/25 grams of protein) and find that works great for me.
