post-op protein drink help



Recommended Posts

Has any one else have a trouble finding a Protein Drink to drink. So far the only one i like is Isopure but i no i need more options for after surgery and when i go on my liquid diet before surgery. It is really sad but i have really picky taste buds all the milky products i HATED !! Even the milkshake version of Isopure i hated please if anyone can recommend a few i should try i would love it :-)

I have been using MRM and I think it is really good. Not chalky or powdery. You can add sugar free syrups too which gives you a different taste. I bought it on Amazon.< /p>

I don't mind the Premier Protein drinks you can get at almost any store, I also don't mind the muscle milk..I purchased the Matrix brand of Protein mixes online and they are good as well, they have a delicious mint chocolate chip flavor if you like that..Everyone is different with their tastes though, because I don't really like the Isopure..Just keep trying different ones until you find one you like..Good luck

Trader Joe's Soy vanilla Protein Powder is what I've been using. It's not the most tasty (I've been putting in some DaVinci sugar free syrups) but they go down really well.

I like Jay Robb Protein powder in addition to the Isopure. They're both good and come in a lot of fruity flavors. You can mix with stuff like crystal light, Vitamin Water zero, or diet iced tea. You can even mix with water.

The only Protein Drinks I have been able to keep down are the Premier Nutrition chocolate shakes. I have one every morning for Breakfast. Just picked up 4 cases from costco this weekend.

Glad you found something you like. Just an idea... would it be possible for you to mix in a half a scoop of an unflavored protein powder into that to up your protein (10g just doesn't seem like a lot for a protein drink). Remember you are gonna have a very tiny tummy and have to get in a lot of protein (65-80g) So be creative on how to get in the most "bang for your buck" as far as how much your tummy can hold in a day.

Keep experimenting! :)

How much is a case of Premier? I was at costco this weekend but totally forgot to look for it.

I have been using the Unjury brand and I like everyone that I have tried. It tastes great and it is medical Protein that is pure no sugar or fillers 90 calories and 21 grams of protein per scoop. You need to try it and I hope you like it. Good luck

Bariatric foodie has a website and she has all kinds of different recipes for different shakes. Check it out...I always find the colder the better, I never drink a Protein Shake unless it is blended with ice :-)

      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.
