I am on day 2 of the 2 week pre-op diet. I know all surgeons are different and have different pre-op diet plans, but I am having a rough time with the shakes. My plan is as follows:

Protein shake for breaksfast

Greek yogurt for morning snack

Protein shake for lunch

1 cup of veggies for afternoon snack

Dinner: 4 oz lean meat and 1 1/2 cup of veggies

Evening snack: 8 oz of milk + 1 sugar free popsicle

Has anyone ever substituted a protein replacement BAR instead of a shake?? I've got some other shakes on order to see if I like them, but it's not the taste, but the texture (I don't even like regular milkshakes)

Thanks so much!!

Wonderslim http://www.wonderslim.com/ makes great mint hot cocoa, regular hot cocoa, and fruit drinks like Crystal Light. (I love the tangy orange) Also many of their shake mixes can also be prepared as pudding. Good source of protein and a saving grace for me. All doctors are different in terms of their pre-op requirements, so you should check with you bariatric team to see if protein bars would be acceptable right now.

Would you be able to drink one that is closer to a juice? Syntrax Nectar is juice like (you mix it with water) or any of the unflavored ones that you could mix with a no calorie drink like Crystal Light.

I am using an unflavored mix from BiPro. www.biprousa.com. I don't even know its there in a smoothie or mixed with vitamin water. Took me about a week to get it shipped to me, but I am so impressed with it. I absolutely cannot drink protein shakes, either. This has been my saving grace.
