Hi, I am 3 months post-op and I lost 40lbs so far. I haven't tried that many shakes yet but I am looking for a shake with the most protein/not that many calories per serving?

I LOVE The Premium shakes from Costco/Sams club. They are 30Grams Protein I believe and under 200 calories. They are SUPER delicious. They have chocolate and vanilla. I love to add cinnamon to the vanilla, tastes like rice pudding.

They are a reasonable price too!

Your body can only absorb about 30g Protein at a time. You won't want to go much higher than that or you will waste the protein.

I agree Premier Protein RTD shakes, 30 grams of Protein 160 calories and very easy to drink. I get them at bj's and costco.< /p>

I agree also with Premier...but I do use "Unjury" (only bought on-line) because of the chicken Soup flavor, 20 grams (powered) but add milk (8grams) to it for cream of chicken soup and later on I can add real chicken & veggies....about 100 calories with water..and its really good...they also have unflavored....

About Time All Natural Mocha Mint is really good (they have other flavors too, like Birthday Cake, chocolate, & Cinnamon Swirl but Mocha Mint is my favorite). Make with 8 oz. Hood Calorie Countdown nonfat milk and you get:

30 g Protein

135 calories

5 g carbs

55% of your RDA of Calcium.< /p>

if you are not having issues, you should be OK with any shake over about 20 g for 8 oz. (you should be drinking as much liquid as you can, so as long as the calories are reasonable you should be ok - but really, truly, truly, be good to yuor body in this process. it cannot do it on protien alone!

So you're saying if I take the whey protein that's 60g a serving will not be beneficial?

Yes, the rest will go to waste. I sent an email to a nutritionist about what is a time frame. Is it every 4hr your body can use 30gr, or a shorter time period.

Syntrax Nectar has some good flavors. My favorite right now (Pre sleeve) is Cappuccino. They also have an unflavored that, in my opinion, is more "unflavored" than Unjury. But Unjury chicken Soup flavored is awesome.

      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.
