Best Meal Replacement?
I am still pre-op myself, so not sure what classifies as "meal replacement", but so far my favorite is the Premier Nutrition shake. 30g protein, 3g fat, 5g carb, 160 calories, 1g sugar It does not taste chalky or watery or loaded in protein. Tastes close to choc milk. Creamier than most and good flavor. I get mine at Sam's Club and some have said they found it at Costco. The EAS Myoplex Lite is my 2nd fav. But DID NOT like the vanilla. I couldn't even fini**** The chocolate is completely different. Not as creamy as the Premier shake, but still good. 170 cals, 2g fat, 20g carb, 4g sugar, 20gprotein. This one you can get in Vanilla or Choc. You can also get it in the pre-made shake or the bag of powder. I have not tried the powder, so maybe the vanilla could be fixed in your own way to taste better than the pre-made vanilla? This I got at Sam's also but have heard that Walmart also carries it.

In my pre-op weight loss journey, I'm using HMR 800 Chocolate shakes as a meal replacement for two meals plus a snack daily, followed by a lean protein/veggie/whole grain dinner.
They are creamy and depending on how you make them (blender vs blender bottle), they can be extremely "milk shakey" or more like a consistency of a chocolate milk.
Google HMR Health Management Resources. I'm absolutely sure post-op they are too high in sugars/carbs, but for pre-op weight loss, they are doing the trick/filling the need.
They run about $2.00 per packet. Not to be misconstrued as any kind of pitch, just-sayin'--they work for me.
Hi...My Name is Jennie I am new and I am contemplating the Gastric Bypass...To answer your question
Take a look at the website called www.medifast1.com it has alot of variety of foods that might be an option for you as far as meal replacements I've tried just about everything and it's pretty good stuff I think. They have puddings(yummy) softserve (oh so yummy) shakes, bars, oatmeal and such. For the chocolate pudding to give you an example: It has 110 calories, 1g fat 15 grams of carbs, 4 grams of dietry fiber, 9grams of sugar and 14 grams of protein.
They have another site calle www.tsfl.com I believe you can order single packets if you want to try them instead of a whole box. And maybe you can use them even after your surgery
Hope this helps
Good Luck with your journey!
