Omg Pre-Op Diet Shakes



Recommended Posts

I have tried the Body Fortress vanilla it is not bad. I added a tablespoon of sugar free instant pudding mix,skim milk and crushed ice. It was pretty good. I did order Unjury vanilla, chocolate, and stawberry sorbet. Those were pretty good too. I try and drink the Slim Fast Cans but I am having a hard time with those!

I did the Atkins ( Mocha Latte was the best, strawberry the worst) and the Myoplex Lite Choc - no so bad, Strawberry nasty. I prefer the Atkins.

Boost for diabetics

Carnation Instant Breakfast, sugar free, in blue bottles or can

I really liked both of these. Carnation only came in choc at the grocery I shop, and it was very good. I got Boost in choc, vanilla and strawberry, and they all tasted great too.

I have been using New Lifestyle! They have very good comparable to Optifast and Medifast, there is only one major difference... They actually taste good!! (don't eat the pudding, ugh) Their shakes, bars, Soup, Hot Drinks and snacks/munchies are extremely balanced and did I mention they taste good!!

I don't even get paid to say how good this product is, though I would be rich by now when I think about how many people I've turned on to New Lifestyles! Check them out... I hope they work for you!

Ok, even though I haven't been banded yet, I do have some experience with the slim-fast shakes that come in a can. I could never drink them right from the can I always poured them in a glass first. I don't know why they just tasted better that way to me. So it might help!:)

Does any1 kno some good Protein shakes that they would recommend? Thanx

i am using the myoplex lite low carb shakes in strawberry and chocolate. They are very thin, however, I had one last night at 7 pm and it took the edge off my hunger and I woke up not hungry as well so they seem to work pretty well. Ive also been drinking huge amounts of Water. they have low carb 25 g protien and no sugar.

My doctor requires the Glucerna Diabetic shakes. I have to drink 6 a day for two weeks. They taste ok, but after 2 weeks, i will probably hate them.

I haven't been banded yet but my aunt, who was banded 3 years ago and is a Seattle Bandster, swears by the unjury shakes. She's sending me a sample and I should be getting those in the next day or two. I am really picky about taste so I'll give you my opinion after I try them out.

On a side note everyones tastes are different. What you may like may not taste good to me at all. So I think the best way to find what your going to like is to try the different shakes and figure out for yourself what you do like. :biggrin:

I am using the Body Fortress vanilla from Wal-Mart. I add flavored Splenda packets from the coffee isle at Wal-Mart. They are awesome.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
