I'm being banded Sept 13th. Has anyone started the preop diet? I'm not sure about choosing between pre made shakes and mixing my own, which brand to drink. My nutritionist gave me a list of brands but I have a friend who uses Carnation Instant Breskfast sugar free. A lot of decisions and I'm excited and nervous at the same time!

I just bought my Protein powder today. My date is Aug 20. Will start my pre-op tomorrow. I went to complete nutrtion

Look at the protein number, you want one which is high in protein and low in carbs. I purchase EAS whey at Walmart, it's cheaper there. Slim fast has too many carbs. Mix with water only. Milk has too many carbs. You'll see results and won't be hungry. Good luck

I have bought both powder and pre mix premier Protein they come in vanilla and chocolate from Walmart and SAMs club (get more for the money) I like the pre mixed I could never Seem to get the powder all the way dissolved

My nutritionalist wants me to start a 10 day pre op diet before I go for my last Ins required weigh in on the 19th of Aug so Friday I will be starting it.

I'm scheduled for Surgery Sept 27th and will have a 3wk pre op diet of two shakes and a healthy meal (Atkins frozen meals).

I really like the premixed Premier chocolate shakes. I also like to Strawberry and Creme Lean premixed from GNC. Today I tried the Syntrax nectar Caribbean Cooler and it was yummy!

NAS protein whey at Walmart, chocolate dissolves nicely and it's the cheapest

I'm getting banded in September and I've been curious about what kind of supplements I should buy does anyone have any good suggestions of products or places to get them

Hi All,

I am only days away from surgery! I have started my pre-op yesterday. My doctor wants me to do 2 shakes a day and 4 oz. Protein, 1 cup veggies and 1 cup of fruit for dinner. I am using Bariatric Advantage shakes. I still need to get my supplements. Any brand recomendations?

I use the body fortress powder from Walmart- chocolate/ peanutbutter it is amazing. And I have the strawberry kind also great!!! Flavor.
