Pre-Op and Post Op Diet Choices



Recommended Posts

I will begin my 10 day pre-op diet on July 8th. I’ve been told I chose from:

Advant Edge Carb Control Ready - to- Drink shake

Isopure Zero Carb

ABB Pure Pro clear liquid Protein supplements

Once I begin Stage 1 Clear liquids - protien supplements I’m allowed to chose from: Unjury, nectar, ABB Pure Pro, Ispure Zero Carb

Once I begin Stage 2 Full liquids. I can chose from - Unjury or EA Advant Edge Carb Control

Has anyone had any of these? If so, which one did you prefer? How long did 1 bottle last?

Thank you!

I like the EAS Ready-to-Drink shakes - they're individual servings. I used them before when I was low-carbing it. After surgery, I would add in a scoop of Protein powder to make a 37 gram shake. Wonderful! I also prefer unjury Protein over any other powder that I've tried. I've heard Isopure is good, but haven't had it yet.

If you go to Unjury.com, you can order individual packets (I think it's called the office size) of the different flavors. I use chocolate and vanilla and just got some unflavored to try. I use two scoops of powder, 1/2 c. skim milk and either DaVinci SF Syrup or 1/2 banana. Wonderful! I'm 3 weeks out and feeling fantastic. Good luck!

I love Nectar...it dissolves completely and tastes like lemonade, or peach...those were the two that I've gotten. 90 calories for a two scoop helping, so it's not calorie free...but it tastes great and has a lot of Protein in it.

      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.
