I am on my pre-op diet now. I have used EAS myoplex Lite, chocolate and vanilla; Muscle milk lite, chocolate fudge; and Premier Protein, strawberry & cream. I add 1/2 cup skim milk to it and crushed ice and blend it for a shake-like drink. So far I like all of them. I like the Premier and the Muscle Milk better than the EAS, but it isn't terrible. I haven't tried nectar, but someone at my support group recommended it also. I am going to look for that one.

Preop we used Bariatric Advantage powders and EAS powders as recommended. About 2 weeks post op we went to Premier Protein shakes. At 3 months out I was told quit drinking shakes so I now have a stash. Do not overbuy! I will probably start having a shake a day anyway now that it is warmer, a good icy one. Those brands were recommended and we liked them, except my husband liked the milkiness of the Bariatric Advantage and I preferred the EAS.

      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.
