I'M HAVING MY SURGERY JUNE 6TH AND I HAVE TO START MY liquid diet SOON. THE Protein Shakes THAT THE DOCTOR SELLS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.

I WAS WONDERING DID ALL OF BANDERS PURCHASE THEIR Protein shakes FOR THE liquid DIETS FROM YOUR DOCTOR ?

I wasn't on a pre op diet of any kind. Told to eat normally till midnight the nite before surgery. But for 4 weeks afterwards I was on a liquid diet. I bought the big gallon jugs at Walmart. They're not bad. I ordered muscle milk from GNC online and Isopure. Came to over $200 for about 2 weeks worth of Protein drinks. And the Isopure, which my nurse told me tasted like Jolly Ranchers was so nasty I made it thru one of them and the rest were dumped about 18 mths later.

You can buy the big jug of Protein powder that has about 30 gms of Protein per serving for about $15 at Walmart. The strawberry one isn't too bad. Thank God I no longer have to drink them - I probably couldn't choke down another Protein Drink if I tried!

Good luck!

Good luck on your upcoming surgery!! I bought whey Protein Powder from GNC i first bought vanilla in the pouch not the jar it was $15.99 and mixed that with Water and skim milk and added frozen fruit very good, then i went back and bought Cookies and cream and strawberry, not crazy about the strawberry but cookies n cream delicious!! and they were buy one get one half off! I have more than enough left over for weeks to come so it was pretty inexpensive.

I totally agree w the Cookies n cream, by whey Gourmet. Buy the big gallon looking thing of powder, I used ice and 2% mild in a magic bullet and it was as good as a smoothie from Wendy's! About $30.00, last forever. U can order online also! Good luck to u! :):):)

Get the nutritional info from doctors shakes( Protein, Cal's, carbs) then shop for a product at Vitamin Shoppe ( cheapest I found), GNC etc that is similar . whey isolate is the type of protein my doctor wanted.

In general you want at least 25 g protein for 200 Cal's.

I did not spend money on those. I did go to Sams club and for the premier shakes and Atkins just make sure you get 20+ Protein and check your sugars on info. Always check with your surgeon if the brand will be sufficient.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
