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!

I found two that I like one is from GNC Total Lean they have all kinds of flavors they have the power or the already made. I also like the ones from UNJURY.com.

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
