I have a week to go before I join the band family . I'm drinkin well I've been drinkin Body By Vi for awhile now so I kept on it for my liquid diet as well. The way I make it is in the blender an add ice so it ends up bein a pretty big serving. I know I can't have it the same way after surgery. So what I'm woundering is who else uses this and what has been some ways you have used it after being banded. Thanks

I did the body by vi shakes last summer but didn't set well for me. I am now using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (order on line)...amazingly good! I have a few band friends that use Unjury...all successful and happy with the product. It IS designed for weight loss/bariatric surgery patients.

My Dr uses the New Direction shakes for Pre-Op.....tried one....pretty good!

Good luck... Lisa

I am on vi as well, and planned to continue after surgery (Thursday) I was told that since it does not have enough protein on its own, that I would need to add to it. I have been using it on my pre op diet and adding greek yogurt to it, and it gets it up to 21 grams of protein per serving. Obviously the serving size will diminish, so I am not sure if I will just have to double up on the number of servings or what. I would love to hear from folks using bodyByVi also!!

^{Just for additional info....}

^{Unjury shakes average 21 grams protein}

^{New Direction averages 26-27 grams protein....they also have MANY different flavors and puddings (like lemon)...I am ordering a bunch of the products for after surgery as well. Flavored waters, capucinos.... all high in protein}
