Protein Drinks that will not make me sick



Recommended Posts

I am trying shakes pre op and had the Pure Protein (worldwide protein) and had very bad "runs" all day... I wonder if anyone had this experience and if they know what is going on... Maybe it is the Lactose? Can anyone reccomend protein that is good that will not cause this side effect?

I couldnt handle the Worldwide shakes either and didnt like them. The only Protein shake I like is the 50 Grand Slams from GNC in the red can.

They have a powder too, but i dont care for it.

Inspire Protein powder from bariatriceating.com is really good. I esp. like the Dutch chocolate, PB Cookie, PURE unflavored (good in Soups and other foods), and Pom Razz Sangria (mixed with a little Crystal Light).

Even my kids love the Dutch chocolate with warm almond milk.

My absolute favorite are the EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control. 110 calories, 17 grams Protein. They are premixed, single serving shakes and they saved my life during the pre-op diet. I did powder mixes as much as I could stand (since it is economically better than the individually packaged drinks), but these taste the best to me. Also, Atkins brand shakes are good too. I've found both at walgreens, cvs, target.

I have one called DESSERT that isn;t too bad, but my favorite is smoothie King Gladiator. not the chocolate one though. it is a Meal Replacement shake with 45 grams of protein.

I thought taking in Protein Shakes I was definately going to have the runs. My first 5 shakes proved my worst fear, but then I ordered some samples of Bariatric Advantage and wah-lah no more sick belly. I like the banana and strawberry. I think it just takes trying many different ones and see what works for you! Good Luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
