Pre-op Diet

[Mrz Jess B. 9]

Hey Everyone,

My Surgery is March 2nd. I start my pre-op diet on the 16th and I was wondering what everyone drank and ate and what do you recommend for the course of 2 weeks before surgery?

I recommend you buy single bottles of Protein shakes before buying a case. You don't want to be stuck with something you hate. Many people like the Premier Protein Shakes. I was not a fan. I prefer the GNC lean shakes (strawberry flavor). powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is also popular. I have not tried their shakes but the chicken broth was good. Also, you might want to find a greek yogurt that you like. One thing to be careful of regardless of brand is the quantity of added sugar. Some Protein Shakes I saw had tomes of sugar which is counter productive. Your surgeon's office should also have a list available of recommended Protein shakes. There are a lot of choices out there. Hope you find one you enjoy!

My favorite shakes pre-op were EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control, rich dark chocolate flavor. They are sold at Walmart and Target and were within the nutrition guidelines my nutritionist set for me.
