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.

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!

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.

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>

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!

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.
