Tink22-sleeve 528 Posted November 28, 2012 Im pre-op and have been trying out Protein Shakes. Therein lies the problem. All the Protein shakes i have tried have left me uncomfortably full, headachy, and gassy. Is this what I have to look forward to? Please help, i am discouraged. (I have tried muscle milk, lean muscle milk, lean shakes from GNC and whey 60 from GNC). Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fire water 20 Posted November 28, 2012 I am scheduled for my sleeve for Dec 19. Have you tried Unjury? They have about 5 flavors including an unflavored powder. The shake is a bit sweet for me so I add a little extra low fat milk. Unjury.com 2 FeeIsMe2 and Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeeIsMe2 508 Posted November 28, 2012 Unjury chocolate Splendor is definitely one of the best Protein shakes!! It tastes like chocolate milk without that sweet/chemical taste. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marathoner2 2 Posted November 28, 2012 Muscle Milk light - very convenient and taste good! They have regular muscle milk which has more sugar in it. I use Unjury as well, and is worth the mixing time as it tastes great and several flavors. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sramos89 260 Posted November 28, 2012 I use premeir Protein that is premade. I buy it at sam's. I get 12 for $18.00. It has been the only one I liked. It is just a long trial and error for us all I think! You will find one- Keep trying them until you find yours! 2 Tink22-sleeve and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pieganjane 26 Posted November 28, 2012 Hi, ask you doc but mine said that the gas is from swallowing air while we eat or drink and Gas-Ex stopped it right away. Also I buy the Protein shakest in powder form then make them in a blender with double the Water so they are not so heavy. I sip one over the course of an hour. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronda 6 Posted November 28, 2012 Bariatric Advantage shakes aren't too bad. I love the Iced Latte!! Also try Syntax nectar. Really like the lemonaid. Hope it helps, Ms Tink 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atelux17 135 Posted December 3, 2012 I like Chike, banana or chocolate. They have a sample back. 28g Protein. It saved my life post-op because u can control the Water u put in&make it only 3 oz. I tried Atkins. I drank them preop. But 11oz would take me 3 hrs to drink. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustSayMoe 163 Posted December 3, 2012 I'll second the Premier Nutrition ready to drink shakes. They taste good and are a bargin at costco. I've had the chocolate and vanilla. They aren't super thick either. I had a sugar free shake (I think it was muscle milk) and I just about puked. Sour and chemical tasting. Drank part of one and tossed the other 3 in the package. Muscle milk light are okay, but not as good as the Premier. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted December 3, 2012 shakes do have a lot of air in them when you first make them. Try letting it sit for a while so all the frothiness can settle down. I am enjoying Jay Robb Shakes. They are not the best tasting shakes out there... but they are sweetened with stevia and avoiding aspartame was important to me so I'll sacrifice a bit on flavor in order to get something better for me. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
