I need help I have surgery in 2 weeks !

My Protein shake guidelines also said to make sure it doesn't say "protein concentrate, hydrolyzed Gelatin, or collagen protein" anywhere on the list of ingredients. ....this requirement is what keeps me from being able to use the Premier brand. I use the unjury brand

Like kmorri I use Unjury and nectre brands bought in the dr. office. My doc seems very strict compared to some of the post I read here. We weren't given an outside option, even told us how much money we'd need prior to this stage. Honestly took the guesswork out of it

I ordered mine online and I didn't find Unjury to be anymore expensive then any other brand that met my surgeon's requirements......Also, my surgeon wants you to get off Protein drinks once you get into the "real" food stage. ....that may be difficult but we shall see. one step at a time!!

@@hijynx yes same for me regarding Vitamins......just not the Protein drinks. My doc doesn't want me to be on Protein Drinks once I get to the real food stage. He wants me to get my Protein from real food....but like I said that's a ways off and I plan on just taking it a day at a time.

Pre-op guidelines are totally based on your surgeon. You will need to get their specific guidelines directly from them.

[JamieLogical 8,684]

Yeah, they are completely unique to each surgeon/nutritionist, so you should reference the materials your program gave you. If they haven't given you the guidelines yet, call them up and ask for them.

If you can't get any information from the surgeon's office you can google "bariatric pre op diet" and probably get "general" guidelines. Good luck to you. @@lupita19

We really like Body Fortress whey chocolate. It's cheap at Walmart, about $19 tub. Best mixed with 1% milk and 2 tbsp of PB2. Do NOT get the Isolate formula tho! It's terrible.

whey isolate is much higher quality Protein and better absorbed by the body. My nutritionist would only allow shakes with whey isolate. I actually liked the vanilla Body Fortress whey isolate.

We actually bought the vanilla body fortress isolate a week ago and had to return it. I then read the reviews and saw all 1 stars and the people were complaining that the formula had been changed, that it was very good at one time and now it was terrible! Wish I had read the reviews before buying it!

Oh the sucks. It has been a long time since I had it. I switched to Protein Bars once I was on solid foods because I was SO DONE with shakes by then!

Yea, it really does/did suck! LOL. I am not opposed to trying another vanilla isolate whey but don't even know where to start because there are so many. costco just happened to be sampling a vanilla whey isolate yesterday and OMG it was sickeningly sweet. Ick.
