My Dr. had me on Optifast. Was OK the first 2 weeks..then it started to taste like milk that was spoiling. Had a hard time getting through 5 a day for the last few days. I think I drank 2 the day before surgery.

Was challenging to say the least.

you could try Muscle Milk Lite or Wonder Slim.< /p>

both have abt 15 grams of Protein and are abt 100 cals

good luck!!

My doctor had me on Bariatric Advantage shakes (which I thought were absolutely horrible). I had tried Medifast in the past, and LOVED it compared to the Bariatric Advantage preop diet. While I definitely prefer a regular solid food diet, for what it was I found Medifast good. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so it was nice that they have Soups too and not just sweet shakes. There was a wide variety of flavors for all of their shakes, soups, and oatmeals, so other than getting bored with the liquid/mushy texture of the diet, it wasn't too bad. Even if you're just using it for the shakes, there are lots of different flavors; I enjoyed most that I tried. I would recommend it as far as liquid diets go.

I agree with muscle milk. I also would suggest BeBuff from GNC. It's very thick chocolate.< /p>

Muscle Milk Lite is the only thing I found that I liked. I had to do Optifast for my 2 week preop diet and not only did it taste awful it affected my teeth in a bad way. I had constant tooth pain until I stopped it.

I did medifast a year ago but switch to “New Lifestyle” diet drinks. High protien but a few more carbs than medifast but taste better and cost less. They have their own website like medifast.:biggrin: After a while on medifast your skin starts to smell like soy.

They have a really good high Protein hot chocolate
