Finally a Protein Drink I can handle!



Recommended Posts

Nectars by Syntrax has Protein Powder that has juice flavors. So far I have tried fuzzy navel and it is good. I mixed it with Water and crystal light. Definitely a break from milk based Protein Drinks. Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, bariatric pantry, and of corse the syntrax website all carry it, check it out.

My dietician recommended MuscleMilk Lite chocolate. Today was my first day to try it. Only allowed 4 oz (bottle is 8 oz), tasted good enough (after 2 weeks of clear liquids), and no running to the bathroom. It is like chocolate milk, but it is supposed to be formulated to be tolerated by lactose intolerant people. So far so good. They are pre-made and are 4 to a pack.

She also recommended platinum hydro-whey turbo chocolate. I haven't tried that one yet. It is a powder to be mixed with Water.

I also drink Isopure.. any flavor has 160 cals, 40gms Protein, 0 carbs. I buy it at GNC. I stock up when they reduce them to 1/2 price due to the expiration date. It usually has 2 months to expire.

I like pineapple orange banana , alpine punch and grape frost..

I also like the grape protein blitz...

Once in awhile I drink a strawberry banana protein shot( protein to go)

128 cals, 28gms protein and 5 carbs. Comes in 2.5 fl oz container. I buy them at Walgreens.

Hi All' date='

I'm fairly new to the boards and just started my pre-op diet today. I will be sleeved on 1/8/12-- whoo hoo!!! I cannot tolerate milk or milky substance things so I knew this whole Protein shake thing was going to be a challenge. So after much research I think I found something AWESOME! The "proteinblitz" by designer whey is brand new & 30g Protein, 1carb, 120 calories, & 1g sugar. When cold it tastes like grape kool-aid.

Enjoy!! Please share if you've found something you think is "non-milky" and good also.[/quote']

I personally like Syntrax nectar. I googled them as a sample packs and I got to taste every flavor and decide which ones I like and which ones I do. Mayne try thst route as well. I mix all mine with Water as I dont like the milkyness either

      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.
