skinny2beEMG 3 Posted April 30, 2012 While I only have to do full liquid diet the day before my surgery (which is May 16th), I want to get used to if for preparation AFTER surgery (4 weeks liquid diet). I currently drink Special K Protein Shakes, any other suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted April 30, 2012 I recommend: Isopure - alpine punch Oh Yeah - chocolate Pure Protein - chocolate Muscle Milk Light - Caffe Latte You should be able to find all those at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC. They taste pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackie's girl 32 Posted April 30, 2012 While I only have to do full liquid diet the day before my surgery (which is May 16th), I want to get used to if for preparation AFTER surgery (4 weeks liquid diet). I currently drink Special K Protein shakes, any other suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk I don't have to do a liquid diet, but I am practicing as well and have been trying different ones for months now. I like to make my own using unflavored protien, milk and fruit, which you can do on the liquid phase. I also use GNC total lean shakes. They are low in carbs and sugar but high in protien...25 grams per bottle. Also GNC has a Muscle Meal, chocolate that I love. Good Luck! By the way, Special K are good,but I think high in sugar?? So be careful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsMoniqueRaphael 4 Posted April 30, 2012 I also use the GNC total Protein. It has 25 g of protein and only 6 carbs. It taste really good too. I especially like the vanilla bean. I found that the muscle milk light had a bad after taste. My doc says that as long as I can put it in a blender, I can have it. I've been buying campbell Soups and blending them for dinner. It's better than just broth.I like the chicken noodle ones. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
