Pre-op diet
My surgeon requires HMR shakes. I did all vanilla for 2 weeks pre-op. If you like vanilla shakes, you will like them. They taste EXACTLY LIKE a really runny vanilla milkshake.
I know some people have used Optifast or Medifast, etc.
If you are going to do JUST shakes for your pre-op diet (which many surgeons recommend to shrink the liver to make the surgery safer), just be careful that whatever you choose is actually a MEAL REPLACEMENT product as opposed to just protein shakes.
Many protein shakes (or powders that MIX to make shakes) only really contain protein (or mostly protein with very little anything else). Meal replacement products (shakes, etc) contain most everything a NORMAL "meal" would - fat, protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals, etc.
I'd ask your surgeon what HE recommends.
