Pre-Surgical Liquid Diet Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I started my weight loss journey on November 28, 2012, and my Gastric sleeve surgery is coming up on March 18th! I start my High Protein/Low Carbohydrate Pre-Surgical liquid diet on Monday March 11, and thought I've done my research on Protein Shakes, any suggestions to best ones would be GREAT! Also, any suggestion on chewable vitamins/supplements would be great too! :) Thank you!!!

P.S: Check out my weight loss blog at http://laideejae.blogspot.com! :)

i think i may have had my last Protein Shake for a long while...ive had it.

however, here are my 2 cents on the subject: i think the Premeir Protein ready-to-drink shakes are the best. it is available at costco in vanilla and chocolate. both flavors are really good.

I cannot stand isopure-- too gritty and expensive.

For powders, i think "Body by Vi" has the best powder. it mixes easily and doesnt have that protein aftertaste. However, Body by Vi has to be bought from a distributor- you can google it. hope this helps.

I drank Atkins advantage before my pre-op diet. However, when it was time for my pre-op, I could have not milk based products. My drinks had to be made with Water. I had some Syntrax nectar on hand, which helped out tremendously and was pretty good despite the fact they were mixed with Water.

I have had the nectar with almond milk as well. My NUT gave me a couple of samples of unjury, chocolate and vanilla. They were both good and mixed easily...again both with water. So I am sure they will be even more delicious in milk.

I have also had Pure Protein....it's okay. I've had Lean Body, Designer whey, Isopure and Cytosport.

What I have come to like about the Isopure Zero Carb is that when I add a crystal light packet it tastes much better and it has to be very chilled. My favs are the Alpine Punch and Mango Peach, I think it is.

I ordered the Premiere when Amazon had the amazing sale, so I'm not sure how it tastes, but I hear great things.

Much success to you.

      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! 😞
