Best pre op powder mix



Recommended Posts

So I'm looking to do the powder mix for Protein shake bc it seems cheaper then the pre made. Does anyone have a good affordable suggestion for two week pre op diet ???? I see the surgeon tomorrow to find out when my surgery will be!!!

Gene Pro is really good... Tasteless and odorless, at least to me. Check out the reviews on Amazon @@genn

Muscle Milk is pretty tasty and fairly cheap. I add Soy milk to it for an extra 8g of Protein since it isn't particularly the highest in protein.

mayo, Jacksonville, where I am having my bypass requires 2 weeks of Optifast powder, Choc>Van< Straw> prior to surgery. Its expensive at Mayo pharmacy but I found on Ebay. They also gave us several different recipies. I need to drink 5 per day. Also instructed to drink warm Water & bullion cube if I get dizy. 17 days begins my new life!

I am using Bariatric Advantage. The vanilla flavor has 27 grams Protein, 7 grams carbs, 1.5 grams fat and 150 calories per 8 oz serving. I actually do not find the taste offensive as I do other high Protein Meal Replacements. I buy on Amazon for $63 for 35 servings. I have the chocolate flavor as well and that is also good. I was told that after surgery I could add powdered milk to up the protein. Not sure how that would taste!

Order some samples, I got Syntrax samples online in a ton of different flavors, got a few kinds of ready made shakes, etc and I am trying different things. Some I have loved and some I have gagged down but I'm glad I did that because now I know which to spend my money on

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
