My MD recommends weight and inches Meal Replacement shakes. However, it's really expensive. 7 shakes Is $20. What shakes are good for pre op meal replacement?

My doctor highly recommends Premiere Protein which can be purchased at costco - 18 shakes for $24.99 + tax. I know Sam's Club also sells them. You doctor wants you on low-carb and low fat, high Protein. The rule of thumb is always

- under 220 grams of protein

- single digit carb (9g and under)

- double digit protein (10g or more)

Your shakes should have 25-40g of protein.

I have two that I really like - check them out on my blog (you can also buy them at Costco).

I have some premium shakes on hand too. I wonder if I can just use those instead of the weight and inches.

I would think you can. The most important part of pre-op diet, is losing weight and shrinking fat around your liver. It makes your surgery easier for your for your surgeon and less risky for you.

Awesome, my goal is to be under 240 before surgery. That's a few pounds in 8 days. I feel like the little engine who could.

My doctor does not require a two week liquid diet. However, he outlines what to do if you want to do it. I think I'm going to aim for 1,400 calories this week. Then the week of the 12th due 3 shakes and a small Protein dinner. I'm required to do liquids only Sunday the 18th.

You're so lucky. I am on all liquids, then Clear Liquids two days before hand (which is nice since it falls on a Saturday and Sunday). Three shakes and meal is completely doable! Best of luck! Make sure to check out my blog and share.

Day 2 of the liquid diet pre-op. Surgery date is the 19th. Freaking out alittle.

Feeling very private about it. i have not told anyone other than my direct supervisor at work. I'm not sure if I feel alittle embarrassed.. ???

Does anyone else feel like that?

I kinda feel like I have tried and failed at some many other weight loss programs that what if I fail at this too

You're not going to fail. You're going to do just fine. Keep your head high - tell people who you feel will be your support system. I have a few at work. We get daily custom free lunch, so I have given it to the people who have helped me on my journey.

For me, the first 3-5 days were THE HARDEST. I was particularly grumpy and (still) have little to no energy.

You can do it!! Stay hydrated and have a shake when you're hungry.

Just FYI- if you go on to Premier Protien's website you can sign up for discounts and coupons.

Where do you find the weight tracker ?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
