I am sooo excited about having this surgery. Going to Mexico and my only fear is this pre-op diet. First, if I was diciplined enough to drink Protein shakes I would not be in need if surgery.

Second, I am not a fan of powder shakes. I actually like body by vi with fruit ect but from

What I have read on here it is not aloud. I

Also travel for work and will not really have access to

Blender.

Can anyone suggest ready made pre-op

Shakes that meat the requirements and are good? Thanks

Have you found any powdered form that you can handle the taste of? I know they seem like a pain, but I take mine to work with me every day and it makes a great Breakfast substitute. When you're out on the road, you can use quick-dissolving Protein powders with a blender bottle--a sippy cup for adults with a flexible wire ball inside to blend the powder into your Water or milk. The powder can be stored in ziploc bags and taken along with you.

(One type of Blender Bottle link here)

If you really can't stand powders, Isopure makes liquid Protein drinks that are totally clear and premade--but they are pricey in my area. Almost $4 a bottle, which is a lot more cash per drink than a powdered version. The up side is that they look just like a Vitamin water type drink, and there's no washing of a blender bottle needed between meals. I like their coconut flavored RTD, but I can't make myself spend $44 for 12 drinks.

Here's a link where you can buy them by the case--12 bottles each.

I don't mind the Premier Protein from costco. They only come in chocolate but they're ready-made and pretty good over ice and fit all the dietary requirements.

Premier Protein is also at Costco in Vanilla. 30 grams of protein and Yummy!!! I hear theres a Strawberry but I don't think Costco carries that, but you can order it on line from Premier Protein.

I purchased a Magic Bullet blender and bought a lunch bag big enough to hold it and 2 glasses w/ Protein powder and a measuring cup. On my lunch break, I add water/ice find an outlet and blend it up. Sometimes I put fruit in the bag too...or even choc syrup (Hershey's makes a sugar free version).

And the lunch bag I have is no bigger than any of the ones I've seen others carry into work!

Thank you so much for your suggestions
