I dont know which shakes your supposed to use or which Drs recommend, I have not been sleeved yet, but I have discovered these Protein Shakes a few years ago and they are delish! They are the Chocolite Protein shakes by HealthSmart. Bariatric approved and sugar free, only 150 calories, 5g Fiber and 24 grams of protein.

Their Protein Bars are also yum. Anyone tried them?

Now only if I can get them shipped to India lol

Just curious.... For those of you that have already been through your pre op all liquid diet; what was a sample days meal plan for you?

I am allowed 900-1200 calories a day (I stay near the 900 mark). I am allowed 4 boost diabetic shakes (that totals 760 calories) or 4 glucerna shakes (that totals 900 calories) a day. I try to mix it up by doing 2 glucerna and 2 boost. When I want something other than sweet I drink a cup of low sodium chicken or beef broth which is between 5-10 calories a cup. 64 oz of Water which is so easy to do! Before starting the pre op I barely got in a cup a day. I save some calories for my crystal light and maybe an extra Atkins advantage shake (150 calories) if I'm craving something or get hungry and wanna cheat! I started pre op at 278 lbs on sept 2. Sept 4 and 5 I cheated and ate food..not necessarily unhealthy food but I ate. Restarted the liquids and I am down to 270 (8lb loss) in 7 days. Hoping to lose another 15lbs by oct 2 which is my surgery date. I am on a 4 week liquid diet. Hope this helps

Yeah it's pretty intense. But I don't feel deprived! The smell of food still tempts me but I'm satisfied with the amount of shakes Water and broth I get. 10lbs down since sept 7:) 3 weeks to

Go. Hoping for another 20lbs!

At least you guys have a template. My surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet but still requires that i lose 13 or else. Im thinking is broth Water and exercise going to do the trick. Surger is scheduled for October 16
