My surgery is Feb 12th and I started the meal replacement liquids today. I’m curious what y’all take for liquid dirt and if you were ready to just scream.

IDK why dirt appeared in my post lol.

I didn't mind the liquid-only phase because I got to drink all the chocolate protein drinks I wanted! LOL!

Protein shakes

What brand protein shakes did you use?

I have to go on a 6 day liquid diet for surgery. VSG scheduled 02/05/2020. I have been drinking Premier Protein and chicken broth however I am quite sick of the Premier. I just made my own shake today with some samples of bariatric fusion chocolate shake powder I had and a little pb fit- it was so good! I have 3 more days of this. I feel hungry but I know it will get better. Keep your eye on the prize and keep hydrated. Were all doing this for good reasons! ?

Bone broth is great. For me I prefer PEScience select protein powder and mixed my own with Ripple milk (original unsweetened) and let it thicken in the fridge before drinking I wasn’t a big fan of a lot of ready to drink protein shakes. Although labrada lean Body salted caramel is pretty decent. I didn’t use premier protein (being allergic to iodine) for a grocery store rtd protein boost Max is pretty decent. If you want juice flavor BariatricPal has juice protein mixes, I liked mixing with ocean spray 5 calorie juice (I ,Ike the grapefruit) they also have protein boullion mixes as well as protein powder mix with vitamins. Lots of choices for liquids.

honestly, one thing I wish I’d known about for post op was BariatricPal protein shots (I like the pink grapefruit) 15 grams of protein, 60 calories, in a 3 oz shot.
