Medifast after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My surgery is coming up and I have a few extra boxes of my medifast! Is it ok to use up my medifast as my Protein Drink after surgery? I'm cheap and dont want to waste it! LOL!

Just curious cause they dont offer you the option to buy the medifast after surgery! Thanks!

how many carbs does it have? And calories? Does it have enough Protein?

i just got off the clear liquid phase and now am onto puree. I have been finding it hard to get in Protein and food at this ppoint, so the last 2 days I have had my medifast shakes.

ex. dutch chocolate 70

110 calories

13 carbs

4 dietary Fiber

9 sugars

14 g protein

at this point i am focused on getting protein in. i didnt get much in earlier and i actually felt sick. our bodies definately need it to feel healthy.

good luck

As long as you get in your Protein for the day, they will be fine. I wouldn't want to waste them either. LOL

      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? 🤷‍♀️
