Uknown 4 Posted June 2, 2012 Hello Everyone, My name is Kathy and i had the Vertical Sleeve Gasrectomy on May 21st, I am wondering what types of Protein is best to use because the one i bought doesn't really taste great and I would much rather not have to mix anything...Is there something pre-mixed that any of you can recommend? Other than that i feel pretty good i have been walking around with no problem...I walk up and down my street a few times a day....I look forward to chatting with all of you and good luck on your journey to a healthy life...

allmyjoy 21 Posted June 2, 2012 EAS carb control is really good! 17 grams of protein! Good luck i'm only 22 days out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gastricsleeve4me 186 Posted June 2, 2012 Hi there sleeve sister! Also sleeved may 21. For powders, I'm really liking the fruity ones from Syntrax Nectar. Added to Water it's more like juice and has over 20g of Protein in a scoop. For pre mixed, I do Isopure zero carb in alpine punch. But not everyone enjoys them. You can buy individual ones at Vitamin Shoppe if you want to try. Also chocolate EAS Advantedge from Sams Club. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kysia81 11 Posted June 2, 2012 If you have a save on foods store I find their brand is the best! Get high in Fiber and when it's cold the chocolate taste so good! I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puppies4us110 11 Posted June 2, 2012 Congrats Kathy! The 'ready to drink' drinks that I have tried are very sweet so I mix in a little milk or coffee with milk. PureProtein, Myoplex Light and MuscleMilk Light are not bad. I usually mix my own drinks with a chocolate, vanilla or unflavored Protein Powder. Most of them are good. I just didn't like Syntrax Nectar despite all of the rave reviews! Good luck!! DD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wanttolose32 15 Posted June 2, 2012 Congrats!! I really enjoy the EAS chocolate fudge Protein Shakes that have 42g of Protein. They are a little high in carbs but I get half of what I need in the bottle. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted June 2, 2012 Isopure is a clear beverage. No mixing required, comes in 20 oz bottles that have 40grams of Protein. They are available at GNC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karenb4729 309 Posted June 2, 2012 I like the cytosport whey Protein clear drink in the tropical flavor. Its an already mixed clear drink more like a juice. Its 0 carbs, 0 calories and 32g protein. It kind of reminds me of a margarita. I get it at the Vitamin Shoppe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrinkingturtle 21 Posted June 2, 2012 If you have a costco near near you I like the Premier Protein shakes from there. They are premade and 30 grams of Protein. So yummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kspye 5 Posted June 2, 2012 I love the Isopure powders...you have to mix with Water but they mix really easily (I just shake them in a covered cup). I love the chocolate, Cookies and creme and mint chocolate chip. I buy mine on Amazon.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luvs2lose 8 Posted June 2, 2012 Hello~ I really, really like Oh Yeah chocolate milkshake flavor. You can buy the RTD or powder and it is delicious. I get mine from Netrition or Amazon. I also use unjury unflavored to add to food or drinks. Corinna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
