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 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! 😞
