miss_cee85 160 Posted July 19, 2013 I begin my 2-week pre-op diet on 7/29. I used the Atkins Protein Shakes as Meal Replacements a few times this week to try them out. Now, I have been very gassy and bloated. Has anyone had this problem with their shakes? Is there anything I could do to avoid gassiness and bloating during my pre-op diet?

EddiesAngel 14 Posted July 19, 2013 Has anyone tried making their Protein into a milk shake consistency and adding some Splenda? That's what I've been doing and I really like the taste of it. Just wanted to share my idea. 1 Bellanthin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wanted to share my idea. I've been using either unjury vanilla or nectar vanilla. I them add about a TBS or two of SF pudding mix for a variety of flavors. Tonight, I had a vanilla mixed with SF cheesecake pudding in and sprinkled in some SF cherry Jello mix for Cherry Cheesecake... AWESOME! banana is great as well. 3 miss_cee85, ladybug's journey and TooFluffy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicky VSG 34 Posted July 20, 2013 I had the same problem with Atkins. Premier is sooo much better. None of the same symptoms. I found them at Sams 1 miss_cee85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted July 20, 2013 If you make them in a blender with ice, they will get really thick like a milk shake. Frozen fruit is great in them too. Also get some of the sf syrups. I like sf coconut and sf salted caramel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use 1/2 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup coffee, 1 tsp splenda, ice, sf caramel Syrup, and three scoops of EAS lean Protein powder. Love it and low cal _22.5 g Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My NUT said he has the same symptoms as well. I'm going to give Premier a try. It has to better than the way I've been feeling for the past 36hrs. I look & feel 7 months preggo. Lol Thankful I haven't brought my entire pre-op supply yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brwneyedwoman 11 Posted July 20, 2013 Premier is very good and I hate Protein Drinks. I picked up vanilla at Costco.... I think vanilla gives you more mixing options. 1 miss_cee85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
