This is strictly for surgery patients. It tastes GREAT also. Well atleast the chocolate one and the unflavored one is not so bad in Crystal Light. I am very picky when it comes to drinking. Usually the slightest thing will make me gag even before surgery my whole life actually. I can't do any kind of SHOTs.... but this protien drink is pricey but very good!

If I'm doing Protein Shakes, I do a combo of sugar free carnation instant Breakfast with Unjury. I can get creative with it, adding Peanut Butter or fruits. I've gotta do variety or I get really tired of the same old thing all the time.

I use Body Fortress Whey Protein from Walmart aslo. I mix it with Tropicana Light Orange juice and it tastes like an Orange Julias.

I'll tell you what NOT to drink! Revival Soy...it's absolutely disgusting! My doctor recommends it for the pre-surgery diet. OMG...I almost lost it. It is chalky, lumpy, and just nasty in general. I have LOTS of it, too! UGH! I'm hoping my husband will help me drink it up! LOL...I'll convince him it's good for him!

No soy Protein is good for you. Stick with whey Proteins. If you can't handle the powders, then go for the prebottled whey isolate drinks. They come in fruit flavors. I'll see if I can find the thread that talks about these.

Here it is: http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=15716&highlight=whey+protein

Also, on the main page, if you enter whey Protein in the search, you'll find a whole slew of threads on this topic.

I could never stomach any of them. I usually used Milk chocolate Carnation INstant Breakfast... made with warm milk (as I was always so tight in the morning.) I typically made it with one packet and 2 cups of milk... so:

2 cups of milk = 16 grams of Protein

Carnation Instant Breakfast = 5 g.

Total=21 g

Honestly, I never had an issue with getting my Protein in as one of my favorite Snacks was cottage cheese and fruit... or those Breakstone Cottage Cheese/Fruit Jam thingies.

I made my Protein drink a little more palatable lastnight. In fact, it really was downright good. I had been adding Isopure mix to Water. Blech. Instead I used 1.5C "Carb Countdown" fat free milk, 1.2C Water, 2 scoops Isopure (50 - 52gm Protein), 1tbl "Carb Options" Peanut Butter. Whiz it all together. The Peanut Butter does add some fat and minimal impact carbs, but it's better than not getting in my Protein.< /p>

B/c of the added fat I've decided to make this recipe last 2 days, so each day I have half which is about 25g Protein. For the rest of my protein I will use the pre-mixed drinks that are lower in fat.

I can't wait to try the "Orange Julius" recipe, but I can't do citrus just yet. Maybe some strawberry puree instead. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
