Creekimp13 5,840 Posted January 27, 2018 Did they tell you why it wasn't allowed? Premier Protein is the go-to at my group for pre-surgical diet. We were given about a dozen choices. 2 LilGemi and lucylu1313 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted January 27, 2018 If you are restricted to those two choices, try them both and see which one you like better. If you like both, use both. I've tried Muscle Milk and prefer the chocolate to other flavors--but overall, I prefer Premier to other shakes I've tried. 1 lucylu1313 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JavaKnut 104 Posted January 27, 2018 Pre-surgery I was only doing Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes and Water. 2 week pre-op, I was allowed 1 "green" meal a day. Lean Proteins and veggies, no carb and 3 shakes a day. The final week before surgery was 5 shakes a day and water - that is it. 1 lucylu1313 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CalGuy64 66 Posted January 27, 2018 Don't think it really matters which Protein Drink you use so long as its a low/no carb one. Sticking to the liver reduction diet is the key. The weeks before surgery were torture -- I've never been so hungry in my life. I felt a sense of accomplishment though -- I lost 24 pound on the pre-op diet and my surgeon said my liver wasn't fatty at all. 2 lucylu1313 and JavaKnut reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stuck to my pre-op like a champ as well, and was fortunate that I did not have any major hunger problems. I forgot that first week I also had the Bariatric Advantage Snacks twice a day. The driving reason for me to be such a stickler was something that my surgeon said. He told me that if I did not reduce my liver enough, they would not be able to get my gall bladder until about 6 months later. He said it very likely could be a painful few months as my gall bladder would shrink and the tiny stones grind, etc. I wanted no part of a second surgery, I wanted to be one and done! That was enough motivation for me to not cheat it at all. I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks pre-surgery. 3 Cowgirl12, Elizabeth 06388 and lucylu1313 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason why I'm saying I cant have premier is because my dietitian thinks if I have 4 of these a day it would not be enough calories. But If I have 5 It would be too much Protein for one day.
