Help! Today is my first day of pre op diet. Holy cow, this is going to be a loooooong 2 weeks! I'm not loving the Protein Shakes I bought (Muscle Milk). Wondering what others have gotten that they've liked and where they bought them. Thanks for any and all help!

Since I live overseas and don't have access to costco, I have ordered all of my shakes and Soups from Diet Direct online. I am using the BariWise brand. All of the shakes, clear broths and cream soups have 15 grams of Protein per serving. It's free shipping over $49 and you also accumulate that come off your next order. I plan on using these pre op and post op.

I like the GNC Total Lean pre-made shakes in chocolate and vanilla. I used to like the strawberry, but they're too sweet now =\

Thank you! Sounds like the one at costco is good. I will go to GNC and Costco and try both these recommendations. I really appreciate it!

I really like the Pure Protein ready made shakes in the frosty chocolate flavor. Walmart has them in the 23 grams of protein and Trader Joes in the 35 grams!

I am doing Optifast but its super expensive. I attend a group every month and they all suggest Lean Body from anyplace like GNC or even Amazon. Whats great is you can get a powder if you need to travel post - op

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
