I'm having a hard time drinking the Protein Shakes. I know Protein is the most important nutrient I need during this process. What flavor of shake mix did you all in what drink to get it down?

Hi,

I hear you loud and clear on that one. My hospital has a sort of bariatric grocery for us, and they sell the nectar brand. Of that, for the milk-based ones, I liked the chocolate truffle and strawberry mousse. For the water-based ones, I liked the fuzzy navel. As a point of reference, I HATE sweets, so even these get to me, but I can choke them down, which is saying something. :-)

What shakes have you tried? What is it tat you don't like about them?

Here are a few that I like.

unjury -- I really like their chocolate Splendor & chicken Soup favors (they offer a sample pack so you can try all their flavors)

Syntrax Nectar® -- these are thinner & fruitier flavors (they also offer a sample pack)

Premier Protein -- these are convenient and are available at Sam's Club & costco

Cytosport whey RTD -- these taste really good, and pack a wopping 32g of Protein in only 130 calories.

I dont tolerate the traditional Protein Shakes either so from the beginning I have used the Isopure no carb ready to drink bottles. They have 40gms of Protein and are clear. They come in quite a few favors and aren't very sweet at all which is a big plus for me. They are a little pricey but it's totally worth it and GNC has a buy one get one sale often so I stock up on them!

My favorite morning shake is the pure protien, silk coconut, ice, spoon of Peanut Butter smooth or chunky, blend it and go.

I use the EAS low carb vanilla. I am addicted to Starbucks. So if you love coffee like I do. I will empty one of the containers into the blender, open a packet of instant coffee, throw some ice cubes in there... blend and wa la you have a vanilla frapiccino. If you like your coffee hot just nuke it in the microwave and you will have a vanilla latte! I bought some sugar free carmel and pumpkin spice. So I am going to have a pumpkin spice latte in the morning or a carmel latte. All without the calories and the fat.

I like the EAS low carb, and I also have a Cookies n cream powder at work, I am not sure what the brand is. I do know that I dont like the Jay Rob. I have heard a lot about unjury, I heard it is good.

      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.
