lawree 10 Posted September 1, 2013 So I went shopping today at GNC, Vitimine Shoppe and Publix to stock up on a variety of Protein Shakes for my 2 week pre-op diet, which starts on Monday. I am concerned about being able to stick to it. All the drinks i have sampled have terriable after tastes. My husband says "you just have to power through it" but i am really concerned. My brain is like okay lets go but my mouth is like nope-not gonna happen. AHHHH it is so frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jillian109 15 Posted September 1, 2013 I don't have to do a pre-op diet, but I have been having 1 or 2 Protein Shakes per day to prep on my own. I really like the Syntrax Nectar flavors. They have sample packs which is awesome. I do all the fruity ones with Water or crystal light and the "sweets" with skim milk. Protizyme also has a chocolate cake one that is to die for! I would try mixing with different things - water, milk, crystal light, Vitamin water. Something will click! Good luck! 1 RebecaSparkles reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new_me_2013 46 Posted September 1, 2013 Premier Protein is my fave...I like the chocolate, it tastes more like chocolate milk & is really filling, even with my big ol' stomach in tact. My pre-op diet calls for breakfast/lunch shake & 3oz lean meat & non starchy veggies. Good Luck!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawree 10 Posted September 1, 2013 Is there any shake that is thinner like yoohoo consistency or even more watery. Or is there any that are like juice? I hate shakes, even full on ones from baskin Robbins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new_me_2013 46 Posted September 1, 2013 This Premier is pretty thin...I don't like making my own shakes, I find that when I get busy at work they settle & become gritty. That's why I like these. I'd say somewhere in between choc milk & yohoo (sp? Doesn't look like I spelled it right!) in consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new_me_2013 46 Posted September 1, 2013 U might try Isopure from GNC if u don't like shakes, they are more like fruit juice, all different flavors & tons of Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
