My MD recommends weight and inches Meal Replacement shakes. However, it's really expensive. 7 shakes Is $20. What shakes are good for pre op meal replacement?

My doctor highly recommends Premiere Protein which can be purchased at costco - 18 shakes for $24.99 + tax. I know Sam's Club also sells them. You doctor wants you on low-carb and low fat, high Protein. The rule of thumb is always

- under 220 grams of protein

- single digit carb (9g and under)

- double digit protein (10g or more)

Your shakes should have 25-40g of protein.

I have two that I really like - check them out on my blog (you can also buy them at Costco).

I have some premium shakes on hand too. I wonder if I can just use those instead of the weight and inches.

I would think you can. The most important part of pre-op diet, is losing weight and shrinking fat around your liver. It makes your surgery easier for your for your surgeon and less risky for you.

Awesome, my goal is to be under 240 before surgery. That's a few pounds in 8 days. I feel like the little engine who could.

My doctor does not require a two week liquid diet. However, he outlines what to do if you want to do it. I think I'm going to aim for 1,400 calories this week. Then the week of the 12th due 3 shakes and a small Protein dinner. I'm required to do liquids only Sunday the 18th.

You're so lucky. I am on all liquids, then Clear Liquids two days before hand (which is nice since it falls on a Saturday and Sunday). Three shakes and meal is completely doable! Best of luck! Make sure to check out my blog and share.

Day 2 of the liquid diet pre-op. Surgery date is the 19th. Freaking out alittle.

Feeling very private about it. i have not told anyone other than my direct supervisor at work. I'm not sure if I feel alittle embarrassed.. ???

Does anyone else feel like that?

I kinda feel like I have tried and failed at some many other weight loss programs that what if I fail at this too

You're not going to fail. You're going to do just fine. Keep your head high - tell people who you feel will be your support system. I have a few at work. We get daily custom free lunch, so I have given it to the people who have helped me on my journey.

For me, the first 3-5 days were THE HARDEST. I was particularly grumpy and (still) have little to no energy.

You can do it!! Stay hydrated and have a shake when you're hungry.
