Congrats on your date! My favorite Protein shakes are from Sytntrax matrix. Tastes vary. Other brands I've seen mentioned that people like are: premiere Protein, chike, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. If you only need to do it for three days, maybe just get something that's convenient. I also like the gold standard mix you can get at GNC. Also have used glucerna hunger smart - you can buy those at most drugstores.

I'm not a fan of the premier. It and the Atkins bloated my stomach so bad. It's a little more sugar, but the EAS Soy is pretty good. I brew espresso, add tons of ice and use a scoop of the vanilla one. I really like it. There are a few milk (lactose) free products like: MHR 70+, unjury, Isopure, Syntrax nectar, and SmartForme shakes/drinks. Can't wait to read updates. Surgery is getting close!

Hi Dotti! I would highly recommend starting your liquid diet about a week or so before your surgery (my surgeon required a 2 week liquid pre op diet) eating will become the last thing you worry about after surgery. I lost my entire appetite for about a month after surgery. The hardest part is mentally altering your eating habits. I never really feel hungry even at 8 months out and 162lbs down, but mentally I still feel like I could eat even when I know I shouldn't.
