So I have an upcoming appointment with my surgeon in 2 weeks before they schedule my surgery. After that they'll call me with my surgery date and I'll have to start my pre-op diet.

My pre-op diet consists of 2 weeks of 3 Protein shakes a day and 1 small dinner. Which can consists of 3 oz of meat and veggies or a lean cuisine or smart choice meal.

I believe they also want me to start taking my bariatric Vitamins ahead of time.

So my question is how much did everyone lose on their pre-op diet. I've heard of people losing like 20-30 pounds alone just on the diet. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Also, what kind of Protein Shakes did you use? My doctors office provides their own, I'm not quite sure which brand yet, but I've noticed that Premier Protein seems to be the most popular.

I'm on my third day of my two week diet and as of this afternoon I'm down 15 lbs already I'm like amazed. I use the ISO 100 Protein shakes the fudge brownie kind. Tastes like cold hot chocolate. Not too bad but I don't like sweet drinks so by my third one I'm ready to get it over with. My diet is all liquid diet tho no food!!! Good luck so far it's not as bad as I thought it would be. And I cook for my husband and kids every night so far. Drink my dinner shake while they eat. The worst part has been the headaches. Lots of luck on ur journey!!!

WOW! that's great! What was your starting weight if you don't mind me asking? I would love to lose at least 20- 25 pounds on it.

You are going to have to try lots of different protein shakes, get small sample sizes of the powdered ones and try the pre-made ones like Premier that you can get at the grocery store. Just don't buy too much, your taste buds will most certainly change after surgery, mine sure have!

I think Premier vanilla is my favorite. Pre-made is easy, getting them at Walmart is easy. Another thing is the shakes have a smell (some of them smell like vomit to me post-surgery) and the shape of the Premier container makes it impossible to smell it while you are drinking. I heard this pre-surgery and it is true for me.

My smell and taste senses are on overdrive after surgery. Sweet things are way too sweet. Things with a strong flavor are way too powerful. The whole eating thing is trial and error.

Good luck!

Thank you. I was also thinking to just use the vanilla so that if I want to say add a pump or two of sugar free caramel syrup.

I started at 289 lost a few pounds during my nut classes so I was 285 As of today I'm down to 268. And dropping still. So it can easily be done!!!
