genn 460 Posted October 25, 2016 So I'm looking to do the powder mix for Protein shake bc it seems cheaper then the pre made. Does anyone have a good affordable suggestion for two week pre op diet ???? I see the surgeon tomorrow to find out when my surgery will be!!!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Muscle Milk is pretty tasty and fairly cheap. I add Soy milk to it for an extra 8g of Protein since it isn't particularly the highest in protein.

marieac2 85 Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) mayo, Jacksonville, where I am having my bypass requires 2 weeks of Optifast powder, Choc>Van< Straw> prior to surgery. Its expensive at Mayo pharmacy but I found on Ebay. They also gave us several different recipies. I need to drink 5 per day. Also instructed to drink warm Water & bullion cube if I get dizy. 17 days begins my new life! Edited October 27, 2016 by marieac2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandokat 9 Posted December 27, 2016 I am using Bariatric Advantage. The vanilla flavor has 27 grams Protein, 7 grams carbs, 1.5 grams fat and 150 calories per 8 oz serving. I actually do not find the taste offensive as I do other high Protein Meal Replacements. I buy on Amazon for $63 for 35 servings. I have the chocolate flavor as well and that is also good. I was told that after surgery I could add powdered milk to up the protein. Not sure how that would taste! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWJill 119 Posted December 28, 2016 Order some samples, I got Syntrax samples online in a ton of different flavors, got a few kinds of ready made shakes, etc and I am trying different things. Some I have loved and some I have gagged down but I'm glad I did that because now I know which to spend my money on Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
