So in my many weight loss attempts I bought a big box of Shakeology packets (chocolate). I like them and would like to use them either pre-op or post-op. They weren't intended for bariatric patients, but as a weight loss tool. I am taking a packet Wed to my NUT for his/her input, but wanted to see if anyone here had any thoughts about using them, either during my 7 day liquid diet pre-op, or during my post-op liquid (but not clear) phase.

I've used them before for weight loss & I think they'd be great. I just haven't bought them now since it's more expensive than other Protein Drinks. However, I think Shakeology is great for all the Vitamins & minerals & nutrients that are in it. I'd use it if I had it or had the money to spend on it. :-)

Im not a pro and I am pre op but doesnt that have a lot of carbs in it for one serving??? And it doesnt meet 1/2 of most daily Protein requirements within that one serving... I hope some of the experts chime in though. I have these shakes as well and they are pretty good!

I'm not sure about the carbs, but as far as the Protein goes, you could always only do 1/2 a serving to spread it out more throughout the day. I currently have some of the Isopure Clear Liquids to help me meet my protein goals, but I only drink half of one instead of a whole one & get the rest of my protein elsewhere.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
