hey everyone. I'm sure this has been posted before but cant seem to find a blog on it. i start my pre-op diet on the 6th of October. i would like to know what Protein (powders) shakes are good to buy. i know everyones taste buds are different but i don't want to wast my money on junk! i have to have two shakes a day with 500 cals. of dinner and Snacks if needed. the Protein Shakes ( or whatever i can mix it in) have to be 30 grams each then after surgery it goes to 3 90 gram shakes a day. any help would be great. my surgeons office says they like to use Body Fortress. Anyone try this brand is it pretty good?

thanks

Karen

Sorry so late chiming in, just joined the forum. I've been on pre-op since Sept. 15, 2009. I have found the Lean Body ready to go shakes very tasty and Protein Drinks go and very satisfying. They come in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana. They provide 40g Protein, 0 sugar and loads of Vitamins. They are a little more expensive than others but I think they are worth it. I obtain my supply from GNC. Good luck on your pre-opp and banding. I scheduled for surgery tomorrow 10/1/2009.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
