Protein shakes

[glitta114 6]

Can anyone tell me which Protein Shakes they were having right after surgery? Right now I use Premier Protein or body fortress with skim milk.

I use Premier now. It is my favorite but it was too thick immediately after surgery. I used nectar powder mixed in Water. The milk bothered me at first.

I used Now brand (they make Vitamins, cooking oil, and whey protein) Protein Powder because I liked it before surgery, but after surgery, I didn't like it anymore. I then tried Unjury, which my hospital recommended, but I hadn't tried because of cost. It is SO worth the cost. I thought Now was okay, because it wasn't repulsive. After trying Unjury- WOAH I didn't realize that Protein powder could taste GOOD. For me, it's worth it- tasty, mixes smoothly, etc. It's a little more than $1 per serving, but it gets a bit cheaper if you subscribe.

What are you mixing it with?

[aquitenonnymouse 206]

OH- and I mix Unjury with milk. It gets my Calcium in at the same time, and my nutritionist said that I should not be limiting my fat too much while on all liquids because a fat deficiency is bad for health and weight loss. She had me on 2%-whole milk for the first 6 weeks.

So you were having milk in the Protein Shakes while on clear fluids?

can you only buy Unjury on the Internet? do drugstores sell it? nutrition/health food stores?

I am not sure what brand the hospital gave me ... it was Caramel flavored (Caramel or Strawberry). I have Premier Protein at home and I couldn't stomach it until today. I can mix skim or 1% milk in with things (low fat cream of chicken Soup, home made Protein Shakes, etc) but dairy also didn't sit well until today.

I was using premium Protein liquid until the last month. Now I am using powder Cytosport from costco. The only way I can use the powered shakes is with my immersion blender. I have texture issues and my immersion blender takes care of this. I also add things to the shakes... cold Decaf coffee or banana to the chocolate and frozen berries to the vanilla. I drink a shake with 54 grams of protein every morning.

After surgery i discovered that i could tolerate powder Protein because when u blend it air gets incorporated into it so gas kills u and also cause its like gritty. I preferred ready to drink protein. I like the 12 oz can of pure protein that has 35 grams. So if u need 70 grams it would only take to cans and thats 24 oz out of the 64 recommended. Good luck and hope this helps.
