I am having surgery 6/28 and need advice on choosing a shake for my preop diet. Any advice would be great. Since my doctor told me I can only have the shakes for 14 days I would like them to taste less chalky.

Thank you for the helpful advice I appreciate it!

First day of liquid diet before surgery june28th. I’m starting to get really nervous about the surgery. Hoping everything goes well.

You and the prediet are going to be fine. My favorites so far, Peaches and. cream Premier Protein , Blueberry Muscle Milk, Svelte French Vanilla, and in 4th place caramel Premier Protein . Have also tried Eqaute shakes from WalMart, $2 cheaper but one fault I find. I think they have a. processed evaporated milky undertaste, I can't eat anything chocolate because of allergies but. I am sure the Cookies and Cream would be very good.
I found a liquid calcium at Walmart, brand is Wellnesse, cost under $10 , citrus flavor and it is Calcium citrate, like we are supposed to have instead of Carbonate.

Your program should have a list of approved shakes you can have. I like to use Unjury they have shakes, chicken soup and unflavored protein powder.

You and I are surgery date twins! Wishing you the best of luck! I start my liquid diet on Monday, super excited!

Good luck to you also!

I found this great protein powder that is 25g of protein per 6oz., 0 sugars and 1g of carbs. It's by Dymatize and I got it in the classic chocolate flavor. It tastes really good and it's not heavy or thick tasting.

You two will do great! I started the pre-op diet this past Monday but wasn't supposed to start until today. My surgery is June 25th. It was tough the first day and believe me I can feel my tummy growling at times, but keeping full and hydrated with water help. I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it. I just have all my mini meals/snacks scheduled daily to the minute. Haha! Bonus - I'm down 6 lbs. YAY!

Thank you and nice with the weight loss! I’m expected to drink 3 protein shakes a day and have two 100 calorie yogurts in between. Two shakes are super filling to me though so I have no idea how I’m going to pull this off, lol. Best wishes on your surgery! So close!

Thank you.

You can do it! The protein shakes are pretty low cal, so I think you'll find you'll be ready for the next shake when it's time. I love the Light & Fit Dannon Yogurts. They only have like 7 grams of sugar and I want to say 80 calories? There are some yummy flavors like strawberry cheesecake and lemon meringue pie. They taste like dessert.

I can't believe our dates are almost here. It's really sinking in.

The strawberry cheesecake light and fit is my absolute favorite! And I don’t really have a big appetite in the first place so that is a lot for me. I did the protein shakes in place of two meals a day while I was seeing the nutritionist and even waiting a couple of hours and not having a snack in between, I had a hard time getting a second shake down because I was still full from the first. And time is flying! Our new lives will be starting soon. I finished packing my hospital bag this past weekend, I’m that ready, lol

You go girl! It's amazing how much protein will keep you filled. I'll make a list and pack this weekend. I don't think I'll be bringing too much. Can't believe our day is almost here.

Protein is so ridiculously filling but I love that it’s filling! In my hospital bag I have 3 days worth of loose comfy clothes, a pair of slippers, a pair of flip flops, gas x, a tooth brush, tooth paste, and deodorant. So pretty much the essentials, lol
