Hi all. I am going to be starting my preoperative diet soon. What is the best or better Protein Shakes and other items should I be getting in prep for this? I have heard Isopure is very good. What flavors? Do I get the low carb or no carb? Much appreciated for all the info. Chris

I tried Grape flavored Isopure and it tasted okay. The problem is that one 12 oz bottle of it costs close to $4.50 and that is too pricey for me. I also am using Premier Protein from Sam's Club. For the pre op diet though, I had 4 Adkins shakes a day.

HELLO,

I AM ON THE PRE OP DIET AND THE BEST ONE I HAVE TRIED IS PREMIERE Protein ITS BEST TO BUY IT AT SAM'S WHOLESALE YOU GET 18 FOR 18 DOLLARS AND SOME CHANGE SO IT COMES OUT TO A TINY BIT OVER A BUCK YOU CAN'T GO WRONG PLUS IT TASTE THE BEST BY FAR.FIND OUT FROM YOUR NUTRITIONIST OR DOC IF YOU CAN ADD sugar free FLAVORS AND Decaf coffee OR sugar free FAT FREE pudding IF SO THEN YOU CAN JUST POP THEM IN THE BLENDER AND MAKE ALL KINDS OF smoothies SO YOU DON'T GET TOO TIRED OF JUST DRINKING Protein ALSO IF YOU CAN HAVE POPSICLES NESTLE MAKES SOME AWESOME SUGAR FREE fruit POPSICLES.. AND DRINK ALOT OF WATER/CRYSTAL LIGHT TO FLUSH YOUR BODY CLEAN.. GOOD LUCK!!

@cfinch they are little cardboard bottles kinda like the ones we got in the school cafeteria back in the day but with a water bottle cap on it also try getting your insurance to pay for them not sure what ins you have but go to www.insurenutrition.com click where it says check eligibility and fill out the form if approved the will send Vitamins also good luck ;)

SweetGAPeach, Brightlife, and Starting New thank you all for the advice. It seems like premier Protein will be the best choice. Are these bottles or are they powder mix? If they have both maybe I'll try them. Thanks so much again.

I wrote back on your post....

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
