glitta114 6 Posted April 21, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokey12 71 Posted April 21, 2013 I use Unjury, with soy milk (only 30 calories) good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melodymouse 196 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquitenonnymouse 206 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glitta114 6 Posted April 22, 2013 What are you mixing it with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquitenonnymouse 206 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glitta114 6 Posted April 22, 2013 So you were having milk in the Protein Shakes while on clear fluids? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerbelle 328 Posted April 22, 2013 can you only buy Unjury on the Internet? do drugstores sell it? nutrition/health food stores? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineR 128 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
totlyspld 5 Posted April 22, 2013 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.

gelen's_change 157 Posted April 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
