Best pre op powder mix



Recommended Posts

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!!!

Gene Pro is really good... Tasteless and odorless, at least to me. Check out the reviews on Amazon @@genn

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.

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!

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!

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. 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!
