Depends on the specifics of your diet, because the Special K shakes are high in sugar.

The Special K shakes are a litte high in sugar. Can you make your own shakes?

Eas pre made shakes are good. They're sold over the counter at major retailers.

I had to drink the Bariatric Advantage post-op and they were unbearable. I had to force them down. I have gone through many different types of Protein Shakes since then, powder and pre-made. I have finally found one that I can tolerate. I don't LIKE it, but I can drink it without too much dread. It is pre-made Premier Protein shakes from Sams. They come in chocolate and vanilla and I have tried both. I only like the chocolate. They have 30 grams of Protein.< /p>

I enjoy Body Fortress whey isolate. Get it at Walmart for $21.97 for a 3 lb tub, i think it is. Its really good, it tricks my brain into thinking I had dessert. I have only tried the vanilla but I think I will get chocolate next.

You need to follow your Doctor's orders. Seriously. You do not want to jeopardize your surgery and increase the risk for complications. These bariatric centers have very spent a lot of time on studies and know what works best. Just do what you are supposed to. Please. I wasn't crazy about the fusion shakes I had to drink - but I did it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
