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. :wacko:

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
