First of all, I just got my approval letter from my insurance company yesterday!! :D I'm so excited to get this started and have already done my initial consultation and blood work and all of that. Now I'm thinking ahead to the preop diet, and mine is 2 Protein Shakes a day and one high Protein, low carb meal (I'm doing mine through True Results). They gave a list of a few different protein shakes they recommend but what are some that taste good and are actually filling? I know I can stick to the diet even though it'll be hard but it'll be a lot easier if the shakes actually keep you full for a while!

I'm taking Baratric Advantage for my Pre-Op diet that I'm currently on. They are very filling and have about 26g of Protein in two scoops (serving size). I bought mine through my doctors office for 50.00 bucks a bag and I got two bags with chocolate and vanilla. They have a webstie you can get on and order or just to check them out (I think they are 60.00 bucks online). My surgeon and dietician recommened them to me at my Pre-Op appointment.

I'm also on a low carb high caliorie diet. I have been eating Weight Watcher Smart ones for the past 7 days and they are pretty good! I drink 3 protien shakes and day and they do keep me over till dinner time and they are tasty!!

Let me know if you have any questions!!

I tried so many and have a cabinet full of Protein powders. I finally settled on Premier (Chocolate) from costco. Didn't love it the first time I tried it but it is now the only one I can stomach.

Thanks everybody! The two I was thinking about were Premier Protein from costco and the Bariatric Advantage, so maybe I'll get some of both and see which one I like best before I actually start the pre-op diet. Amine I also have been eating the Smart One's meals for lunches and I like them a lot! I didn't think they would keep me full because I've tried Lean Cuisine's before but the Smart One's are a lot better!

I would go with the Bariatric Advantage! I think I'm going to stick to those post op! I never thought I would ever like frozen portioned meals like those and I like the variety too! I might try those again down the road for dinner!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
