Bariatric Advantage for pre-op?



Recommended Posts

The NUT at my surgeon's office recommends them. I have tried them and I really like their taste. My favorite one is the banana and of course the chocolate. I hope you like them.

I have been using them during my pre op and now post op diets. They are not bad, but not the best tasing sometimes. I sometimes use a drop of almond extract in the chocolate or banana extract in either vanilla or chocolate to change them up a little. 1 scoop of vanilla, 1 scoop of chocolate, 1 sweet and low. 4 ice cubes and 1 drop of coffee extract is pretty good too.

Pre-op they were okay. I found I liked other brands better like Syntrax, Jay Robb, etc. Post-op I can't do them.

I used them for pre-op. They were SO MUCH BETTER than Opti-fast, and a LOT cheaper. However, they were only ok. I only got the vanilla flavored and just added sugar-free Jello mix in to flavor (the best was orange, which made a creamsicle). I just got really sick of them after a couple of days.

I personally hate the Bariatric Advantage. it tastes like they try too hard to make it taste "real" that it's worse than the cheap stuff. haha. I use pure Protein Powder. I like both the chocolate and vanilla. but I prefer the chocolate even though I'm usually a vanilla person!

I had to drink them in the hospital post-op -- the ones that come in the bottle and you add liquid and shake. I thought they were okay but not great. Sort of chemical-tasting.

Thanks for all the responses. I've heard that they give you a "full" or "satiated" feeling. True or false?

      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! 😞
