Hello Jenniferhm,

I think Ready-to-Drink Isopure Plus 0 Carb Protein Drink is the one I am going to use.

I am pre-op, but had used Protein shakes with Nutrisystem, and started using a powder called Muscle Milk (light), you can adjust accordly your preference for amount to calculate the Protein added to each drink. You use a blender, can add Water or skim and fat free milk to it. I also add many things of whcih I am not certain I would use right away and need your consideration for the extra few calories, a low amount of calories usually but adds up some more into the whole thing.

I use sugar free flavoring called Devinci, I chose banana and the Muscle milk light is banana creme. Muscle milk comes in full ready to use drink too though. The Devinci sugar free flavoring masks flavor of things I might add when I want a healthy drink.

Some additives I use are, Bee Polen, Organic Raw Honey, Acai powder, goji berry powder, Turmeric, Amazing Grass powder, Maca powder and there are more. I do not put all of them at once that I purchased, just for a healthy drink to add a good boost.

I buy from Amazon and a few sites for the powders that are exclusively healthy and organic content sites. If you search Amazon.com you can see a varried choice of what some one my tell you to get and of other stuff there with a fair price, also GNC,com. I know there are sites exclusive to this and others too, these will have protein powdered drinks and alike, and more too though.

I have yet to know my exact plans for the newer version of my drinks but it may be very simlar and then just lesser portioned at some time when I am through first phazes.

Hope you do well with your choice when you find what you'd like most to do for now and later on too. Sorry if I am an overload of info for uses elsewhere.

My favorite Protein Drink thus far -- I was sleeved nov. 6th -- is the Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade flavor. Very good and has 23 grams of Protein. I mix one package with 16 oz of Water.< /p>

I had the surgery Nov 1st...and I too have a hard time with the Protein shakes...I couldn't find one that agreed with me or that I liked...tried a whole bunch (ordered from Amazon)- then I remembered the shake that my trainer recommended..Body by Vi....it is delicious and has the same nutritional requirements as all the others (I checked with my dietician). It is like cake batter...and you mix with skim milk not Water..so tastier.....this morning was the first time I got my full 4 oz of a shake down.

Also, if you have an Iphone...the shake has an app....so when you can start adding things..this app helps....delicious! It is also less expensive than the others.

If you are interested let me know.

Hi again, this Post is helping me, glad I saw this.

tparkerc59 I am going for that, people talked the same of Syntrax nectar, I am glad you added the flavor you'd prefered and its going to be my trial start to see wahts this like now.

JenniferCS See yours to be most interesting, looked into Body by Vi at Amazon an had seen various formulas and flavors, Whats yor take on better and best tasting choice there ?

Mine tastes real good, but not so much as when I leave the adding simple and less, in its normal state its great compared to the stuff that came with my Mail ordered boxed pre-packs.

Thanks

The sweat cream flavor is what I use..and it goes well with everything- if choose to get it- inbox me and I can send you some really cool recipes depending on what flavors you like. Good luck!

the trick is to find a Protein drink you really lime- that is key. for me it is Matrix chocolate Mint cookie- no aftertaste- really good. I order on Amazon.< /p>

My Nut said I could add about 1 Tbs of sugar free pudding powder to my Protein Powder. It thickens it up a bit for me and gives it a delightful flavor. The cheesecake is tasty.

I use BMI Protein powder from the Drs office.

I'm about 7 weeks post op.
