Liquid Protein Opinions Needed!

[RichGirl 15]

I'm starting my pre-op diet this Wednesday and went and bought Light Muscle Milk and tried it this morning to see what it would taste like and it was HORRIBLE! If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. I've got to find something that tastes relatively decent if I'm going to make it through this.

Good luck. I am four days post-op, bought No-Whey liquid protein-revolting!!! Dr. Said skim milk is fine, and usual broth, sf Jello, sf ice pops. Not hungry, but worried about Protein.< /p>

Best wishes.

I got the Optifast from the Dr's office. Its the only one he advocates so its the one I used. It was pretty decent actually. Better if you put it in the blender with ice and made it more like a milk shake.< /p>

costco Premier Protein shakes (chocolate). I put mine in freezer for 30-45 minutes and it tastes like a smoothie. Very tasty, no after taste. Eighteen 11oz shakes in a box ready to drink for $24.99 here in California. I'm still drinking at least 2 daily.

I dont like muscle milk either. I like EAS carb control chocolate. It's probably the best I have tasted.

Muscle milk was indeed AWFUL! Try the EAS if you want premixed, or I hear the Walmart shakes are good. Also, if you want to try powder the EAS powder works well. I use almond milk, unsweetened, it is lower calorie and higher Protein.< /p>

I used Barriatric Advantage Protein Shakes. All were extremely good. I also bought Protein Soups I found on Amazon....think they were by ProtiDiet. I like the chicken noodle and split pea, especially mixed together with a boulion cube. In the 2 week pre-op period, I had some hard boiled eggs and also had some canned chicken, along with the shakes, Soup, Jello, and broth. I ended up losing 20 pds on the pre-op diet !

Good Luck.

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I'm going out tonight to buy a few samples to see which one I like best.

YES! YES! YES!

Syntrax Nectars are great. . . I ordered the sample pack before surgery (surgery is this Friday), and I just placed an order for the Double Stuffed Cookie last night so that I wouldn't suffer without it after surgery! Lol

The Double Stuffed Cookie by Syntrax Nectars is AWESOME. . .it taste like a Cookies and cream shake. . .NO KIDDING. . .and you can't taste the Protein whatsoever! Don't know if out matters to you, but it is also made with isolate Protein. . .THE BEST!
