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.

Do we get banded the same day? 17th for me.

I'm banded on the 17th too! I'm so excited! Lets keep in touch!

Where do you get the nectar from? Online only?

I bought mine at a local supplement store, but it's not a chain.

I would follow the suggestions above to go online and get Unjury. In the mean time, muscle milk LIGHT. remember that you want a isolate whey protein.

Costco carries a premade shake buy premier which is quite good 30 grams of protein for 160 calories. You can also get them at Sam's Club.

I tried a lot of shakes out there and premier protein chocolate flavor from SAMs club is the only one that I liked. It tastes just like chocolate milk. I am still having 2-3 a day as I am not a bug near fan. Each shake has 30 grams protein and 5 grams carbs.

I shoul have mentioned that they are only 18.88 for a 12 pack which is around $1.57 a shake. I have been in able to buy a prepaid shake for this much.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I tasted a bunch of these choices but ultimately I found one that FINALLY tasted good. GNC lean blended with ice.

Cookies and cream was delicious and I am looking forward to trying peppermint mocha tomorrow. It's a little higher in calories and carbs than Bariatric Advantage but I'll happily drink 3 of these per day instead of 4 of the other. I could barely get down 1-2 shakes per day.

Hi I just got banded on the 26 of November 2012. The best shake that works for me is the shakes you buy from True Results. They are good in flavor and good with the amount of weight the Dr wants you to use. It come with the drinking cup that you are taught to sip and not swallow. I was not banded by True Results! But I still go purchase there Protein Shake mix. It comes in different flavors.
