I was told to do a 3 week Bariatric Advantage pre-op diet because my BMI is 50. I understand this is totally necessary, and will bite the bullet and do what I gotta do---- however, do I HAVE to use bariatric advantage ( sooo gross- I had samples at surgeons office) or can I use another protein drink 3 times a day?? I'm putting a call in to NUT but was curious on everyone's thoughts;).

I could not stomach the bariatric advantage either! It's simply not edible! I switched to four shakes a day of premier protein pre-made shakes a day for my two week pre-op diet. I still drink one a day now for breakfast. They are the bomb digitty! I buy them at SAMs club for approx $1 a shake

Did you have good weight loss from them? I just bought a case at SAMs club;)

I drink GNC Total Lean shakes. They have 25 grams of whey isolate protein & other vitamins & nutrients. They have vanilla, chocolate & strawberry premade. I add different flavorings (vanilla, coconut, almond) to the vanilla for a nice change but they taste good alone. They are also lactose free.

I lost about 18lbs pre-op. I was only on a two week diet, but was able to supplement the first week with one real meal. I swear by premier protein. They are comparable nutritionally to bariatric advantage, but taste sooo much better. My surgeons office required that I purchase a huge bag of it, and about $200 worth of bariatric advantage vitamins which I cannot stand either

I had not found one Protein Drink I liked until I bought the Premier drinks from Sam's! By far the best I've had....and I have tried alot!! $18.88 for 12 drinks.

I LOVE the Premier Protein drinks! They are AWESOME! By far, hands down the best tasting protein drink on the market.

I drink one or two everyday. Great deal = 12 for $18.88! Woot woot!

Agreed, the chocolate flavor is good. Vanilla, on the other hand, not so good. I can't get those down!
