What protein shake for your Pre-Op diet?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office has Bariatric Advantage. I had a sample mixed with 8 oz skim milk and the choco was terrific (in fact the best choco Protein drink I've ever had, I'd say), the vanilla was good, the orange cream was too sugary/gross, and I have a sample of banana, but I'm thinking it's going to be disgusting for me. What brands are you all using? How do you prepare it?

2 weeks away from starting my pre-op diet, 5 weeks til banding (if all goes according to plan!)

I used Atkins brand ready to drink Protein Shakes and Muscle Milk Cookies and Cream. As for preparation I just keep myself busy and gain an addiction to candy Crush. :D sugar free popsicles was my best friend during my pre op diet. Good luck to you and I will see you on the other side!

I have tried several (nectar and jay Ross, body fortress). I just went to the Vitamin shop and the guy suggested a cassen protien instead of whey protien. Carb/ cal/ fat are all within my limits. But boy it sure does taste better.... And a better consistency. Calling RD on mon to make sure it's ok. He says it's a slower digesting protien which will help stay full longer. Cause I am hungry within 10 min of these whey shakes!!!

Hubby n kids having mcD. I'm not even tempted!

I used Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey powder and they had me mix it in milk for max Protein. This is one of the best Whey Protein powders out there. And the nice thing was my gym sells it and they ran it half off right when I needed it!

      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! 😞
