I begin my 2-week pre-op diet on 7/29. I used the Atkins Protein shakes as Meal Replacements a few times this week to try them out. Now, I have been very gassy and bloated.

Has anyone had this problem with their shakes? Is there anything I could do to avoid gassiness and bloating during my pre-op diet?

Try the premier protein shakes, you can usually find them at any grocery store..They taste much better and are much lower in sugar...

Thanks! I'm going to stop by SAMs Club this weekend.

Has anyone tried making their protein into a milk shake consistency and adding some Splenda? That's what I've been doing and I really like the taste of it. Just wanted to share my idea.

I've been using either unjury vanilla or nectar Vanilla. I them add about a TBS or two of SF pudding mix for a variety of flavors. Tonight, I had a vanilla mixed with SF cheesecake pudding in and sprinkled in some SF cherry Jello mix for Cherry Cheesecake... AWESOME! banana is great as well.

I had the same problem with Atkins. Premier is sooo much better. None of the same symptoms. I found them at Sams

If you make them in a blender with ice, they will get really thick like a milk shake. Frozen fruit is great in them too. Also get some of the sf syrups. I like sf coconut and

sf salted caramel

Yes that is what I have been doing this weeks. I use 1/2 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup coffee, 1 tsp splenda, ice, sf caramel syrup, and three scoops of EAS lean Protein powder. Love it and low cal _22.5 g protein.

Wow! I wonder why. My NUT said he has the same symptoms as well. I'm going to give Premier a try. It has to better than the way I've been feeling for the past 36hrs. I look & feel 7 months preggo. Lol Thankful I haven't brought my entire pre-op supply yet.

Premier is very good and I hate protein drinks. I picked up vanilla at Costco.... I think vanilla gives you more mixing options.

Hey everyone,

If you read the list of Atkins products, Malitol is an ingredient that is a sugar alcohol which oftentimes causes bloating, gas, & in some folk, diarrhea. I loved Dr. Atkins candy bars and boy as soon as I ate one, it was a wrap...lol

Hope this helps.
