What is the recipe book your doc gave you? Protien powder its really hard for me to take down so I have been looking recipes to substitute this.. these sound great and give you just as much usually as 1 scoup of protien powder.

muscle milk is not a good Protein Shake and why its just what it says its for those building muscle. People you need Protein isolates whey protein isolates and that is it. Carnation instant Breakfast gives you no protein. You should be drinking a Protein Powder with at least 30 to 50 grams of protein in it. Read your labels its not all good. My doctor told us we could use carnation instant breakfast if we could not afford or didnt like the tast of other protein powders but he said it is not a good source of protein at all.

My nutritionist who works with my surgeon recommended Muscle Milk Light. Either that or Medifast. As for the CIB, it does give protein, but like I said, it should not be used right after surgery. Later on, it can be used as a source of protein it you would like it to be.

It's pretty obvious every doctor has different opinions. But this is what my dr recommended, and I am going with it. It's working for me so far!

My doctor said that I will need only 1 day of Clear liquids, and after that I can go to Stage 2 (full liquids), I went to the stores and I found a lot of Protein shakes, but the best i found is the Myoplex... there is 42Grams of Proteins, while others is only 12g , 24g...

well I found really good tasting protien powder at gnc... It is AMP wheybolic protien powder

I get the chocalate /cookies and cream and banana cream.. they are only 90 calories per scoop and the scoops

are huge .. I do sometimes add it to 8 oz of skim milk.. But i have to say that the choclate is the best tasting

I saw Dr.Mary Vernon who authored Atkins for Diabetics before my surgery as she is a bariatric specialist (former pres. of American Bariatric Society) to counsel me on what to eat AFTER the lap-band surgey. She ran a battery of tests and she will be my hand-in hand Dr. for nutrition and exercise. She recommended a company called leanerliving.com. NO THIS IS NOT AN AD, I don't work for them or her-lol. You can check my posts for proof-I was banded 12/29 and had the most AMAZING mushed carrots tonight!

They have a chocolate Peanut Butter, chocolate, vanilla ice cream flavor. They also have a latte flavored one that has the blessed caffiene I crave every morning! I can't wait till that one gets here!

I will let you know how they taste!

I use Premier Protein shakes from costco. The taste is very good and are low in carbs, approximately 160 calories and 30 grams of Protein in each drink.

[MarilynJ6354 5]

My favorite Protein shake is Chike. You can only buy it online at chikenutrition.com or at a doctor's office. The chocolate tastes like a fudgsicle and the orange tastes like a creamsickle. You can mix it with Water or milk. After almost a year, I still have it every morning!

I am 5 days post-op and I heard that some people were drinking Protein shakes already. I tried the clear liquid Protein drinks (ie Isopure) but those are DISGUSTING. Is anyone drinking mixed or pre-mixed Protein already and if so, is your body able to process that this soon?

Thanks

My nutritionist also recommended Muscle Milk Light (along with several others). Unfortunately, I can't tolerate it because of my Lactose intolerance (although I did like the taste). I am currently using Isopure powder (vanilla and chocolate are good - I hated the clear fruit flavored ones). Isopure is 25 grams of protein per scoop and tastes good to me

Day 5 my hubby made me a Protein shake from the lap band website. He served me it in a large shot glass, so I obviously drank a small amount at first.

Today, I am drinking a premade one from Target called Pure Protein little by little today. It is going well and doesn't taste terrible. I'm drinking Cookies N Creme Flavor.

120 calories

1 gram of sugar

23 grams of protein

However, with slowly sipping this all day, I do not know how I am going to get in all the Water I'm supposed to slowly slip all day. Any suggestions?

I looked for the book online but have not been able to find it. Can you give the author and isbn so that I can try to get it? I love the 2 recipes you posted and I love anything that I can make myself.

Thanks!

Wow. Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar added) is what my surgeon required me to drink and keep down before being discharged to go home from the hospital, the day after surgery. I also like Myoplex Lite and EAS lite (pre-mixed) protein shakes. I didn't care for the taste of Muscle Milk light, which is also on the "good" list from my surgeon at post-op.
