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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
