What kind of Protein Shakes??????



Recommended Posts

If you are low on Protein, I think the Isopure Fruit drinks are the easiest to get down quickly..I don't like the taste of them (though many people do) but I found them easy to drink. My absolute favorite (and that I still drink 4 months later) are carnation instant Breakfast SUGAR FREE! they have some pre made or packets you mix with skim milk..they are not the highest in Protein but they are delish and get the job done. and they only have 150 cals. I think Ensure high protein are the best tasting but they are higher in cals..

best of luck!

I enjoy the chocolate GNC whey Protein which has 20 grams of Protein. I have not started my preop diet yet, but feel happy because my doctor lets you choose between 5 shakes a day or 3 shakes with 2 lein cuisines, and unlimted veggies.

I met with the NUT a few weeks ago, and she wanted me to lose 13 lbs before seeing the surgeon, I lost 4lbs in four days and she was impressed with that. She thinks I will succeed with the band..I have lost another 2lbs, so I am hoping that by Sept. 8, when I get weigh in again, it will be 6lbs!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
