Low carb Protein Suggestions?
How do you get through the liquid diet stage? It seems like all the protein drinks are really high in sugar. Won't this make by glucose levels rise?
I have tried the slim fast low carb and atkins pre-mixed shakes. Will that give me enough nutrition?
Which brands did you use? Were they good tasting? I am to be on liquids 2 weeks pre-op and post op, and want something that tastes good if possible.

If you're looking for a protein powder to mix yourself, EAS also makes powders.
I tried both the Slim Fast and the Atkins pre-made shakes, and I didn't like either one.

I've worked with bariatric patients and surgeons the past ten years and we've tried a number of things to help people through these phases. The absolute best thing we've tried, that was satisfying to the patient and that produced great results was working with a group called Weight by Design. They have a person there that works with patients and has done some amazing things with them. Type 2 diabetics have even gotten off some meds before surgery, and others have decided to delay surgery because of the good results. The shakes they use taste great, have high nutritional value, and are FDA-reviewed and approved.
Bobbie is the advisor/coach. You can find her at rightweigh.com, but go to the Weight by Design section in non-surgical programs. Let me know if you have questions.
