There are other options!! It takes some creativity. There is this wonderful blog, you'll see mentioned here or there on this site. Its called the World According to Eggface, and the writer had gastric bypass surgery. Since our surgeries are so closely related, her site is a wealth of information!! Here is the link to her shakes... remember after surgery that you'll need to avoid any of the shakes that have fruit with seeds (like Strawberries) until you are healed up. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-favorite-protein-shake-recipes.html

When is your surgery?

I just had my surgery on Thursday of last week. I had been on liquids for 2.5 weeks before surgery. I got really tired of sweet liquids so stared to mix Soups in the blender and add a couple spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt for extra Protein. That really helped to make it tolerable.

Stop the insanity. There are better ways to get Protein. Tuma chicken Beans turkey beef Prepare to nut over a bed of baby spinach or your choice of greens. Nuts works great adds crunch to a salad and you eat less and chew more.

I like the vanilla or chocolate whey Protein from Walmart. 2 scoops. I mix it with 2 table spoons of plain Greek yogurt high in protein and very little sugar. I also mix in a cup of frozen fruit. Strawberries , mangos, peaches, pine apple or mixed berries. Sometimes a little ice and one pack of Splenda. I mix it all together in my blender. When its Really thick. I eat with a spoon and thin I drink in a cup. It Hold me for a good 3 hours.

I was able to do the Adkins advantage. It tasted a lot better then the other options and they came in already made cartons. I would have 4 a day and during dinner time have a cup of chicken broth. In between I would have sugar free Jello. I was also allowed 8oz of skim milk a day. Lo carb yogurt or sugar free Protein pudding. It was a lot easier to do then I thought it would be. I had my surgery on 10/02. Good luck!

I'm having mines in the 15th of this month and I found myself not even able to get the Protein Shakes up to my throat.. Drinking whey Protein drinks that looks and taste like Gatorade with my Vitamins everyday..

I like OH YEAH Protein Drinks, they are RTD's (ready to drink) shakes. Vanilla cream is my latest fav. Clear Protein fav used to be cytosport whey isolate drinks in tropical and tangerine (rtd's as well).
