So we you guys should be starting your pre op diet soon too! I start on the 10th.

I just left SAMs club with lots of shakes (both pre made and powder) organic low fat milk and Powerade zero.

Ready to change my life!

That's awesome hun! I am still trying to find a shake I want to get. How much protein is in your shakes?

The powder is 20 grams and the pre made is 17. It's EAS edge carb control. My doc did not give us a total in a day we needed. Just liquid and to do 4 a day.

Ready to change my life!

I should have said I haven't tried them. Put it in the fridge to try tomorrow.

Ready to change my life!

Are these for your pre op diet.? If so your lucky. I had to buy mine through my dr's office and pay $250 for 2 wks supply. I didn't get a choice except of flavors

I start my pre-op diet the 15th but I ordered the Syntrax Nectar Lattes Cappuccino shake mix they say its very good..

Yep, no special pre op here. Just liquid diet for 14 days. Any kind if Protein shake, sf Jello, broth , any type of low or zero cal drink. At what you paid I won't complain. Lol. What I paid if for 2 of us!!!! What will you do post op? Can u choose a Protein Drink of ur choice then?

Btw, the ESA carb control was yummy. Had zero grit or after taste. Think it will be my best friend.

Ready to change my life!

Thankfully post op I can get whatever shake I want as long as it meets the protein, sugar, and fat requirement. Your so lucky! I am very anxious to start but nervous too. This weekend is my last supper so to speak,LOL I just had sausage lasagna. Ice cream for dessert! I haven't had ice cream in so long. :)
