For anybody currently doing the 2 week liquid diet, which shake/drink are you using. I am currently trying different ones to see what I like. Just had my 4th monthly weigh in today. Down 12lbs since I started. I am hoping to get the sleeve done sometime in October so I can begin the next chapter of my life.

Doc put me on Optifast and Genepro but before fasting and after surgery I will
Be using Premier Protein, Genepro and inspire protein.

I was using clear Premier Protein. 20g of protein. You can get them from Sam's Club or Costco.

Premier

I have tried the bariatric fusion meal replacement shakes with my surgeon has on his recommendation sheet. They are not that bad. My doctors 2 week diet is all liquids with 1200 calorie intake no food everything has to be liquid. They told me the premier is good for after the surgery. I need to buy one to try to make sure I like before I buy at Costco. Thanks everybody for the recommendations.

I hate sweet drinks and flavored drinks so I am using a grassfed whey protein and I added fiber to it (both chia seeds and inulin are carb free since the fiber = their carbs). Doc totally approved. This way I will stay regular and my gut bugs will have some food even if I personally am STARVING! Two drinks a day and one small dinner. I do a brunch/lunch with one drink and save the other for evening.

2 whey protein isolate shakes and 1 premier (plus one serving each of vegetable, fruit, and starch).

For breakfast, I make a shake with cashew milk (unsweetened vanilla=25 calories). For lunch, I have a premier since I'm at work (usually the "opposite" flavor from what I had for breakfast/chocolate or vanilla).

For dinner, I put unflavored whey protein isolate into broth for a change from all the sweet. (I've been using different kinds of broth for variety. I usually mix low sodium veggie with regular chicken or beef to cut the sodium without having it taste like dirty water).

I usually have my fruit as a morning snack, a SF jello (considered a liquid) in the afternoon. I'll either have my "dinner" shake or my veggie when I get home to get something in me since I'm usually feeling pretty empty by then. The order of things depends on timing and what I'm having.

I often have a SF popsicle in the evening.

All of that totals between 600 and 700 calories.
