Reviews on this shake or other suggestions for shakes for liquid diet????

My Dr. had me on Optifast. Was OK the first 2 weeks..then it started to taste like milk that was spoiling. Had a hard time getting through 5 a day for the last few days. I think I drank 2 the day before surgery.

Was challenging to say the least.

you could try Muscle Milk Lite or Wonder Slim.

both have abt 15 grams of Protein and are abt 100 cals

good luck!!

My doctor had me on Bariatric Advantage shakes (which I thought were absolutely horrible). I had tried Medifast in the past, and LOVED it compared to the Bariatric Advantage preop diet. While I definitely prefer a regular solid food diet, for what it was I found Medifast good. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so it was nice that they have soups too and not just sweet shakes. There was a wide variety of flavors for all of their shakes, soups, and oatmeals, so other than getting bored with the liquid/mushy texture of the diet, it wasn't too bad. Even if you're just using it for the shakes, there are lots of different flavors; I enjoyed most that I tried. I would recommend it as far as liquid diets go.

I agree with muscle milk. I also would suggest BeBuff from GNC. It's very thick chocolate.

Muscle Milk Lite is the only thing I found that I liked. I had to do optifast for my 2 week preop diet and not only did it taste awful it affected my teeth in a bad way. I had constant tooth pain until I stopped it.

Thanks for the suggestions.....My doctor suggesting medifast but it's expensive since he wants me to have 4 a day for 2 weeks......preparing myself now

I did medifast a year ago but switch to “New Lifestyle” diet drinks. High protien but a few more carbs than medifast but taste better and cost less. They have their own website like medifast.:biggrin: After a while on medifast your skin starts to smell like soy.

They have a really good high Protein hot chocolate
