Post Op Protein Question???

[ichefmastersgirl 4]

So I had the band done back in December of 08 and I have been on liquids a lot since then. I have came to love my Protein shakes. I drink Muscle Milk Light, Syntrax Nectars and Pre Workout NO explode. I drink 3 or 4 drinks a day. I hear how everyone has to gag down their Protein or kind find one they like.

My question is did you all like protein before surgery?? If you did the surgery change that and now you hate it!! I am getting a revision done on 04/05 and I can not even believe that I would not love my protein after.

Thanks

Kathy

I love my HNR800 before lap band, post lap band and now post sleeve. The rest of them am have always been so-so on them. Surgery has made a diff in some foods but not protine shakes.< /p>

I liked to Isopure Dutch chocolate before and I still like it now. I guess my tastes are weird because I see so many people complaining about the Isopure.

I tolerated Protein Drinks better with the band. With the sleeve, all of them were a no go. I tried over 22 different, varieties, flavors, and no such luck. I finally found one that my husband uses after he lifts weights that was well tolerated, and I could drink. However, I didn't use it much because with regular foods there was no need to substitute with Protein drinks. I get all of my protein grams from food sources.

i couldn't handle Protein Shakes before surgery, for me they were so nasty. . . after surgery i started with Bariatric Advantage high Protein shakes, those were yum for me . . i started out with vanilla, then for a change got chocolate. . . both were great. . .i mix flaxseed Peanut Butter 1/2 tsp with the shake and it tastes just like a reeses pieces. . . love it. . .
