Think I messed up, what shakes did everyone do for their preop liver shrinking diet? Anyone use slim fast? On my list of approved shakes it says slim fast high protein. 190 cal and 15 grams of protein. I was just looking at the shakes I have and they are just regular slim fast not the high protein. The calories are the same but the ones I have are about 5 grams of protein less. Will that make a difference do you think? I'm going to call the nutritionist tomorrow and hopefully get through but I'm freaking out I have to start tuesday

My doc is requiring a diet with product called Bariatric fushion. I think that is better when you take what the doctor recommends. Of course they always don't make it that easy. Protein is very, very important because it helps the healing process after the surgery. Also, there must be a certain amount of carbs because carbs help maintain blood sugar. Bariatric Fushion has 27 grams of protein, 121 calories per serving plus all of the required Vitamins and minerals. When milk is added, the protein (and of course the cals go up).

I def would speak to the nutritionist because you want to make sure to be all ready for surgery. Good luck!

I used Isopure-creamy vanilla, I asked about slim fast but she told me no:(

You want any protein shake that has low sugar & high protein...Atkins, Premire protein..Unjury (on line only)...there are alot out there but you have to read the labels...Slim fast is not a great option you are better off drinking Carnation Instant breakfast Sugar free..Good Luck

You need protein that as soy isulate or whey protein in the first ingredients when you look at the label

Your concern at this point would be fatigue and muscle loss. As long as the carbs and calories aren't higher you should be okay but talk with your nut, they're going to want you getting the extra protein ASAP. I don't think you screwed up your liver shrink though since it sounds like carbs/calories were the same. Also....stick with your directions from your program. If your program says to use a specific shake, stick with it. I don't recommend changing because someone on the internet says what your doc recommends is wrong without discussing it with your team.

She is still PRE-op....she is looking to get her weight down before surgery and learn what the future will be like..

yes and slim fast was on her list of approved shakes, she just grabbed the wrong type of slim fast. Point being, some programs do use slim fast, if your program says it's okay I recommend doing what they say. I personally think slim fast is crap. However, that's not what her program states.

I agree she grabbed the wrong slim fast, I can't remember which one she needs. Just make sure you look at your labels before buying them

I'm on my liquid 800 calorie diet but slipped up and ate yesterday did I just mess up really bad don't want to miss out my surgery is Feb 4

I would do as everyone else stated talk with the nut about it and see what they might suggest. How long have you been drinking them? If it is the start of the liqid diet, they might just want you to go purchase the correct thing and go from there. Wish you the best. Let us know what is said.

Costco sells box of 24 ready made muscle milk shakes that my nutritionist approved. Has 20 grams protein and 140 calories. It's not bad. I'm 9 months post op and still drink them occasionally as meal replacements
