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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
