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.

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
