Newbie Here-Best Protein Shakes for Pre-Op/Post Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

I'm a Newbie and my surgery is scheduled for 9/2/14. I start my pre-op diet this Saturday but I don't know which Protein Shakes to buy.

Can anyone suggest the BEST tasting Protein shakes for the pre-op and post op diet?

I would Greatly Appreciate it!!

The best Protein is Protein isolate. It is the most absorbable. There are 3 brands that I think of that are 100% protein isolate and have good ratings on taste: Syntrax nectar, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (i.e., chicken soup), and Isopure.

For ready to drink, I love Premier Protein. Perfect for grab and go. If I have time to blend a smoothie/protein shake I love Unjury. I tried the Isopure ready to drink as they are terrible! Don't buy too much before your surgery, because I was warned about this and I didn't listen. Your taste might change afterwards...I didn't like all the stuff I stocked up on before surgery....I'm almost 6 months out and still have a bunch of protein stuff I don't like!

I really prefer Premier vanilla and it has the most Protein of any shake I've found! I get it at Walmart. (Of course...)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
