Day 3 of Pre-Op Diet - Shake suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Finishing up Day 3 of my Pre-Op Diet (11 more to go until surgery!)

My doctor's pre-op diet guidance is

  • 1 low-carb yogurt (I've been having fage 0% with a packet of truvia)
  • 1 cup of skim milk
  • 4 Protein Shakes / day (1 of which I can have with sugar free pudding)
  • Unlimited calorie free drinks + sugar free Jello + popsicles
  • No caffeine, carbonation

Caffeine headaches have finally subsided and I am rocking caffeine free living.

Unfortunately I hate my Protein shakes. Hate them. Bariatric Advantage high protein. Vomit. I feel like I've tried everything including mixing with pudding and nothing works.

I'm thinking about picking up a store brand shake (allowed as long as it has 20+ grams of protein, limited carbs and <150 calories) Any suggestions? I'm dying over here.

I really like the Atkins advantage. I'm addicted to the mocha latte shake. It's 15g Protein, 1g sugar, 160 calories and 2g net carbs. I tried the muscle milk... Vomit. I also tried EAS and the strawberry wasn't bad but overall the advantage ones are the best. I also had syntax double cookie and its way to watery. Yuck. I lost 13 pounds by doing the Atkins for 14 days. At least try it, you can buy them in a 4 pack for 5.99 and if you hate them, throw it away and you haven't wasted a lot of money.

Just an FYI, but the Atkins Advantage website has a coupon for the shakes and you can get 3 bars free for signing up.

I mix 1 scoop Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade with one packet of Crystal light lemonade on the go and 1 cup of Water. Tastes very refreshing! I bet even better with blended ice.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
