Pre-Surgery Shakes



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone - My surgery is scheduled for 01/29 and I've started thepre-surgery shakes. 3 a day!!

I was wondering if there was anyone else on the shakes. I'm using the Biatric Advantage brand and originally got Stawberry and chocolate. I found the strawberry to be horribly disgusting. The other flavors is banana, vanilla and Orange Creme. Is there anyone else out there on the shakes and which ones doe you prefer?

I tried the Bariatric Advantage, they are vile! The chocolate was the best of the bad lot.... Try Unjury, they taste so much better. The Chocolate splendor actually tastes like chocolate not chemicals. You can order a few samples and see what you think, but you can only get them online. Good Luck!

I like the all ready made Slimfast shakes. chocolate is my favorite but I like the strawberries and cream and French vanilla as well. They are in 10 oz plastic bottles and Wal-Mart has 2 bonus free bottles in each 4 pack so you get 6 of them for under $5. They have 10 grams of Protein.< /p>

If you need a higher Protein they have a high protein version of Slimfast at Wal-Mart as well. I'm going to use them post op.

Doesn't slim fast have too many carbs and sugar?

Slim fast high Protein has 180 calories, 9 grams of fat, 4 carbs, 2 grams sugar, and 20 grams of Protein. The fat is a little higher than I would like, but I still think they are a good choice.

Good luck to all of you going soon. Is anyone going on February 11 to Tijuana? It would be nice to have someone to track with. But not as a competition, just someone who is experiencing the same thing at the same time.

I liked the BA Vanilla far more than the chocolate or any other flavor. Honestly, they're not bad if you add fruit and sweeten them up a bit. They're tolerable, which is really all they need to be pre-surgery.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
