georgia728 17 Posted June 3, 2012 So next week I get to add my Protein in I haven't started so I know nothing about it. I've been reading blogs and see cookiesn cream what about the Naked protein or the body by vi are those good. Please help I also asked about whey my protein was low before surgery so I need to get it going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeMeMEEE 206 Posted June 3, 2012 These are the guidelines my program gives us - Protein Supplement Guidelines Ingredient List: “Whey Protein ISOLATE” as the 1st ingredient Nutrition Fact Label 90-120 calories per scoop 20-25 g protein per scoop 0-6 g carbohydrate per scoop Body by Vi, Shakeology - those won't cut it and you can find something much more reasonable that will. I like to order nectar samples here http://bjsbariatrics.com/ he lets you select the flavors you want in the sample pack. They have a Double Stuffed Cookie. I took a look at naked protein, very high in carbs, not great in protein. Another brand I liked was Jay Robb. A little pricey but I was able to get it at my local grocery. Best advice - order lots of samples - your tastes will change after surgery! 2 MinaT and georgia728 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenb4729 309 Posted June 3, 2012 Georgia - when did you have your surgery? I have to start my Protein that day I come home from the hospital and have purchased Isopure and Cytosport's whey isolate ready to drink. Both count as Clear Liquids and gets the protein in. I find I prefer the ready to drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artsy 48 Posted June 5, 2012 Dr told me not to worry about Protein during first week of surgery. During my first follow up appt, I was told to add Protein Drinks.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kczar 166 Posted June 7, 2012 Karen I had my surgery on the 30th of may are u able to find it at Walmart or target I'm in AL :-( so I don't think there's a Costco's in my area Cytosport and Isopure are available at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores. Sometimes you can find them at Walgreens or CVS. They taste pretty strong to me but if I cut them with some Water, I can drink them. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenb4729 309 Posted June 7, 2012 I got the Isopure at GNC and the Cytosport Whey Protein ready to drink at The Vitamin Shoppe. I was just sleeved on Monday and it's taking me about 1/2 hour to get 1oz down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
