how soon should i start my liquid diet and what are some recommended shakes? is Visalus good to use? what were ur exact instructions? i go in June, and im 341, weighed today
I started out at 375. I had the Sleeve and was put on the liquid diet 1 week pre-op. From what I've read, it's more common to be on a 2 week liquid pre-op diet, but I guess it varies per doctor. I've only tried 3 kinds of protein shakes (and only the chocolate flavor) - Premier Protein, EAS Carb Control and Muscle Milk. By far the best tasting one I found was Premier Protein chocolate. It was one of the cheapest at $1.75 per shake. I get them by the dozen at Sam's Club.
premier in now making a vanilla!!! and its delicious!!! good luck !!!
GNC has some really good shakes, they are the lean shakes with 25g of protein chocolate is my favorite
My dr said start shakes 2 weeks prior to surgery. I found a really good vegan protein shake by searching google, 36 grams of protein, and nothing you would worry about putting in your body because it is totally organic.
I have to do 3 days preop diet of liquids. I bought premier choc based in reviews but not planning to try it until I have to.
I have a 2 week pre-op diet. But I was relieved to hear its protein and water by day and I small (10 oz) food dinner. I am useing premier shakes, taste just like vanilla slimfast from back in the day and has 30g protein. Good luck!!
I have to do a 2 week pre op as well. i go on the 18th of this month to a diet class. I am supposed to start March 25
My date is 3/18 this the 4th day in and i can't take it my doctor didn't give me the option of any dinner just shakes and water,,,,, sooooooooo hard
Saw dietician yesterday to start pre-op. Surgery April 2! I had Premier with me. She told me only 2 per day. I asked about Muscle Milk Light and she said NO. Reason being some of the commercial protein shakes have trace metals. Such as Arsenic. Even though their a great price right now at Costco I won't be buying anymore.
