so, I start my liquid pre op diet today. I realized that some of my supplements I bought don't necessarily say whey Protein Isolate which is what the NUT recommended. Is this okay? Detrimental? I bought Muscle Milk Light and Oh Yeah ready made shakes.and now I'm worried I can't drink them. Does anyone know?

I drank Atkins Advantage for my two weeks preop, Pretty sure muscle milk was on the list too.

I would be careful, those are not high in Protein and they contain a lot of sugar and carbs...if I were you I would go out to costco and get some Premier Protein shakes..they are pre-made but high in protein and they taste good. Then maybe order some nectar whey protein online off Amazon or Bariatric choice...I wish you well.

I'm not sure what you mean. MM light has 25 Protein and 2 sugar and oh Yeah has 32 protein and 3 sugar . I though these were good ratios

I remember my NUT saying something bad about Muscle Milk..maybe it's the carbs? But if you're good with it go ahead. Or maybe call and check...

Atkins isn't the highest in Protein but it sure is easier to get down. I kept hearing the carbs and sugar were high but they're not. Also try Pure Protein premades. 23 G protein and low carb/sugar. Cheap and good. The powders are nasty.

Muscle Milk light is fine. I don't like it as much as Premier Protein and still have some sitting in my fridge.

I'm on day 7 of Pre-Op. I'm only allowed to have the Muscle Milk light. It tastes fine and keeps me decently full.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
