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.

      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.
