Protein Shakes ???



Recommended Posts

Hi All

Kombat- I haven't been banded but my nutritionist told me to find a supplement that has approximately 20 grams of Protein, 15 grams or less of carbohydrate, 2 grams of Fiber or less early post-op and less than 200 calories per serving. Just have to start reading the ole labels and find one that you like. (o:

Joann- Thanks so much for the information... I'll have to give that a try... would be nice to have something I can pick if I am in town or even on a trip somewhere.

I am a real fan of unjury Protein shakes. I bought the chocolate, vanilla and unflavored types. I mix the powder with 1 cup of milk, about 4 ice cubes and blend it in a blender. Yummy!! I have put Peanut Butter with the vanilla, Peanut Butter and 1/2 banana with the vanilla, ang peanut butter with the chocolate. They are all very tasty. You can get samples from Unjury so you don't have to invest in the whole canister if you don't like it.

Hiya Sheila...

I think I will go online and order a few samles of the unjury... I tried the powder that I ordered and gagged it down mixed with yogurt. I think I will try it blended with milk and ice to see if that is a little better. I am sticking to the whey types of powder as that is what the nutritionist said to get. I am also looking for a good liquid Vitamin and have seen many different types available online... I don't think I need one as complicated as the ones that were designed for gastric bypasses so will will browsing for a regular ole MVI in liquid form or chewable.

Thanks for the info...

      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.
