Anyone required to buy preop shakes from surgeon's office?? My surgeon wants me to buy there shakes for my 2 week liquid diet that will cost $100!?

I think that is crazy.

I could buy whatever shakes I wanted as long as it met the requirements. That's insane!!

My doctor required that I buy a certain brand which I could purchase from them or buy online and mine cost 150

I think I will refuse I don't have $100 to cough up. I wonder what they will say?

They can refuse you as a patient, doctors are very strict about pre-op diets and Protein Shakes are expensive, you will likely spend that on a two week supply anyways of something else so I wouldn't refuse, especially if are past the hoops and to the pre- op diet phase.

That's what I spent on mine. And the shakes U will need after as well for a few months and they r alittle pricey. I know some insurance will cover them.

I don't think they can make you buy them when there are so many high Protein options available for a fraction of that price!

My shakes (unjury) cost a little over a dollar a serving and they tasted pretty good too. I got the canisters instead of the packets.

I am going to see what happens tomorrow.. I really don't want to spend $100 on shakes

The thing that I also don't like is the fact its powder form so I have to mix them. That is so inconvenient!!

Not really. You have lots more control of the texture. You them with raw juice and ice instead of milk and control the sweetness. And best of all you have the option of unflavored powder that you can mix with Soup, yogurt and cottage cottage cheese to boost the Protein without changing the taste.

You can if your doctor allows. On preop I was allowed one serve of fruit a day. I preferred to eat it as a snack rather than blending with Protein Shake.< /p>
