I am on my 6th day of a liquid diet and my doctor wants me to drink Slim-fast and i am geting sick of the 3 flavors. (i still have 5 days to go on it):whatchutalkingabout Is there any suggestions on a replacement?

well if you get the vanilla one and add orange crystal light it tastes like a orange dream ice cream, there is this protien shake at walmart that is fruit puch its good too and then there are some flavorless protien shakes where you can make your own flavors

Quick question, is this your pre-op diet and do you have to lose a certain amount of weight before you get to have the surgery? I am waiting for my approval.

Try Atkins or Eas - also, if you add raspberry or orange extract to either the chocolate of vanilla - it will change the flavor a little

pre op diet is not for loosing weight it is to shrink your liver. and protien shakes and chkn breast w/no skin and baked and broiled or boiled is good and tuna in water and egg whites are good as well. I followed this for 16 days and lost 22 lbs pre op and my liver shrunk alot dr was very happy.

If he is requiring a liquid diet then I would just buy an array of different Protein shakes so you can mix it up. Thankfully you only have 5 days left.

If he is ok with it then you might have a couple shakes and then a baked or broiled chicken breast for dinner. The chicken with boost your protein.

Only do what the doc recommends though please.

Muscle Milk- light! I love it. You can usually find it at any vitamin/suppliment store. I buy the already-mixed ready to go milk boxes, but you can purchase powder form and add skim milk. It tastes rich and creamy, and only has like 160 calories, 20 g of Protein, very few carbs, and only a few grams of fat. Excellent. In chocolate, vanilla or strawberry (only had the chocolate ones). I am 2 months post-op and still drink it daily for Breakfast.

how many days are you on the diet before you have the surgery?

i am on the diet 11 days before my surgery. Surgery date is December 10, 2008

Love the Isopure drinks at 40 grams protein. Many great flavors low carbs. You can get them at GNC.

thats not too long, I thought maybe it was a month or so. I find out on the 13th if I get accepted into a clinical trial for the Realize Band, I am trying to estimate when the surgery would be. Good luck to you!!!
