preop shake diet

ugh this shake diet is no fun. i have to drink only 3 muscle milk light shakes a day. thats only 450 calories a day. i'm STARVING!!! any encouraging words?

Hey Hun! I will just say I know it's rough right now but you have to look at the big picture!  This is to prep you for your upcoming surgery to get you as healthy as possible beforehand!  I'm sure it will ALL be worth it in the end :)

thanks :-)

Are you required to do the Muscle Milk? Or is that something you decided...?

I'm curious because I'm going to be using "Pure Protein" (there is a picture of it in my blog)...and if you compare the ingredients..the Muscle Milk has considerably less protein than the one I am going to use.

If you are way too uncomfortable being hungry... I would switch protein shakes ASAP and get something with more protein value... it will curb your hunger MUCH better.

NOTE: when you read the label...make sure you take note of how many scoops they are listing the nutritional facts for... sometimes you are not getting what you really need.

p.s. I am still pre-op... but this is all advice I have gotten from my father, who had RNY in 2008.
