Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Do you supply the opti-fast products to your patients. Maybe as part of their "package'? Or how do you do that?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 We put our patients on a liquid meal replacement 2 weeks pre-op and 2 weeks post-op. We use New Direction products...about 27 grams of protein, low carbohydrate for each meal. They are on 3 meal replacements per day...basically a very low calorie diet.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 When they complete the pre-surgery instruction class, they get an order sheet for the Optifast supply and the TrePuree items. They also get to sample the products. At their pre-op appointment, surgery faxes us the patient's choices, we fill the order and they pick it up from up and pay for it after their MD preop appointment. The pre-op appointments are scheduled so that there is (at least) two weeks between that appointment and the day of surgery. Hope that helps. >>> "Dawn A.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 We use the Unjury Pre-Op Diet for 2 weeks In the initial class I have them try a sample of Vanilla Unjury mixed with the Walmart version of Crystal Light (called Sugar Free Orange Early Rise) and I usually double the water. Mix it ahead of time or the night before and chill it. It tastes really good. One or our doctors insist they use Unjury, but the other two docs let them use a different supplement as long as it’s similar. Check out www.unjury.com. I drink it mixed as above all the time myself, just to get in some extra protein.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi ina, Yes, our program has a 2-week pre-op diet. Our surgeon prefers the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan (which is 5 meal replacements & 1 "Lean & Green" meal which is lean protein and 3 servings of non-starchy vegetables). Hope this helps!
