I was using Premier Protein but my nut says I should only have Protein isolate. The protein isolate shakes are disgusting and making this diet even harder

Okay I have a question since we are talking cardiologist. I had my pre op interview or whatever with the hospital before surgery to discuss health history and such. Everything was fine until the end when she said I had to take my atenolol 25mg morning of surgery and 2 days post op. I said "excuse me? My what?" Now a little history I have a perfect EKG, perfect ECHO, and BP runs 120/70 or 110/70. So why would I take heart medication?? Is this normal? No one from cardiologist even spoke a word of it. Talk about raise in anxiety and fear. I have a call into the cardiologist so he can explain things to me but 19 days before surgery I didn't need this!!

I wish I had some insight to offer, but that just sounds bizarre to me. I'd almost bet it was just a mis-key. Someone should have typed code 43 and instead typed code 433 which is something completely unrelated. That type of thing.

Premier Protein are good and so are the GNC lean shakes.< /p>

I'll have to give those a try. My husband just bought some Muscle Milk light to try, the premixed chocolate. He likes it so I tried it. Disgusting!

Thanks. I am waiting for a call from cardiologist tomorrow and some very good answers. The pre op nurse said if I didn't get a script that the anesthesiologist would take care of giving it to me...YIKES!!! I waspassed nervous and on to excited about my surgery, but now I am so anxious and scared again.

I am Sept. 8, just 4 days away! I am doing great with the preop diet, except for a daily minor headache. I am on day 4 of diet and it's not too bad. The hardest part is cooking good dinners for the family and I don't eat them. I am doing 3-4 shakes a day with a veggie and Protein. Think I've lost 8 lbs. already! Hang in there, you and me both!!!!!

The hubs tried the powdered muscle milk 100 cal tonight, mixing it with skim milk instead of Water. I took a sip and while it's not my favorite thing in the world, it's about 1,000 times better than the ready-to-drink.

      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.
