I was told not to have slim fast, too much sugar..The Atkins shakes are ok, I also got the Whey Protein Powder from GNC which is good..You can also have Muscle milk, the Cookies and cream one is very good..Good luck to you..Didn't your Dr give you a list?

Try the Isopure Protein drinks. They are like G2 or poweraide zero. Considered Clear liquids but they pack 2 oz of Protein per oz! Several flavors to choose from, I personally liked the grape. Also nectar has several flavors, very light tasting, like crystal light. 24 grams of protein and you can mix them as light as you like.

For Protein shakes the premier shakes from costco and Sams are very good. 160 calories and 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar.

Good luck!

Help!! I don't know what kind of Protein drinks to drink for pre-op liquid diet!!

I start my liquid diet tomorrow an have no clue what to get. Can I drink slim fast? or those other diet Protein Drinks or do I get the whey powder

drinks? I get sleeved April 15 with Dr. Garcia.

If you like chocolate, I recommend getting to a GNC and having them whip you up a sample of this:

You would want to drink only half a serving at time, but it's delicious!

Really any whey Protein isolate powder will work as long as it's sugar free. If you have a GNC gold card, you can get a decent price on the GNC brand ones during the first week of the month.. Also Walmart has powders.. I mixed my powders with all kinds of stuff... Milk, Water, crystal light, coffee.. just to change the taste.. My favorite is Jay Robb, but I ordered it online and you don't have time for that. Also, if you can find any unflavored, you should get some, I mix it with Jello after adding the cold water and it's pretty good... also adding a bit to broths is nice too so you don't get so burned out on sweet.

I just tried the Jay Robb chocolate mixed with vanilla almond milk--delish!!!! I have my first surgical consultation tomorrow and because I am self pay I should have surgery within 3 weeks. I am trying out the different shakes and the Jay Robb is by far the best. It has none of those weird aftertastes or chemical type tastes. It's better than a chocolate milkshake.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
