Bought a couple of things for the preop diet/post op liquids phase. Gonna go out and buy gold standard whey protein (all time fave); still have to get crystal light, protein bars & some more boxes of almond milk.

Any suggestions as what to get would be great!

Don't go crazy. Remember that you'll only be able to eat or drink a few ounces at a time. At first, you'll be lucky to drink one of those gatorades in a day! Plus, check the nutrition label on that. Don't they have sugar? Also, don't bother with protein bars. It'll be a while before you could eat one. Also, Almond milk doesn't have as much good stuff as you might think. I don't think it's worth it.

The protein bars and g2 is for the preop diet. They gave me strict guidelines to follow for a low calorie diet. Consists of drinking 4 protein shakes a day alternating between shakes and protein bars and just 1 meal a day.

Just be forewarned that your taste buds may change after surgery and that you may have to experiment to find something that works for you.

Also try the Premier Protein! It tastes sooo good!

Premier protein has a clear protein drink. I have to do 2 days of clear liquids leading up to surgery so I hope that keeps me from getting too hungry.

R the honey buns part of the pre op or post op lmao [emoji23]

Sorry honey bunches of oats lol

Protein2o is pretty good instead of the Gatorade or vitamin water zero

Slim fast has a high protein shake with 20g

I saw the clear drink i have no clue where to find it. I've checked Walmart target and stop and shop, no luck yet. My pre op diet consists of all protein shakes/bars through out the day with only 1 small meal (bfast, lunch or dinner)
