DreamInColor 6 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm in my liquid pre-op diet stage and I have no idea how I am going to eat 3 of these a day for three weeks :-( Any advice??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theby_88 72 Posted January 22, 2013 Hold your noise girl. It sucks! I hate Protein Shakes to the fullest and haven't found one I like yet so it's torture getting them down. The best one, if you can even call it that, is the "Premier Protein" from costco the chocolate kind. It is the best tasting, if you can call it that either lol, and has 30g of Protein per shake. I have heard the "Nectar" shake powder in cappucinno and the chocolate truffle is delicious. Going to order some this weekend. Good luck. It sucks but you have to do it. Time to step out of the comfort zone and just do what you have to do even if you don't want to. This whole process is about doing things and going through things you don't want to. It starts now so practice it. It's a HUGE change. We are all here to support you and be that sholder to cry on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annav562 40 Posted January 22, 2013 I am amazed as too how many of you need to be on liquid diets for weeks prior to surgery. I was placed on 1200 cal.for one week and liquid for day before surgery. ..my surgery was last Wednesday. ..my husband Is scheduled for sleeve on 2/11 and he too was told only liquids day before surgery...well anyhow. .premier Protein Shake from costco is best...especially when its very cold.

aep2k1983 12 Posted January 22, 2013 I really enjoy the Atkins cafe caramel Protein shake. I also enjoy the nectar that is the roadside lemonaide flavor. I mix a scoop with 16 oz of Water and a packet of crystal light. It tastes really good! I was the same way about Protein shakes, but now I love my atkins once so much, I have one a day... Good luck with everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DreamInColor 6 Posted January 23, 2013 Anyone hear of protizyme?? People say it is good (reviews online) but that it is kind of expensive. I don't really care about the price if I can stomach it haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pookybear 284 Posted January 23, 2013 I mix a scoop of vanilla Protein Powder with a tablespoon or two of SF instant pistachio pudding mix with skim milk and a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt. It's delicious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mullberry7 5 Posted January 23, 2013 Ok I'm with you on disliking Protein Shakes. What i have found to get my Protein is Isopure clear per mixed and also fit frappe by big train. You can make it hot cold or blended with ice! Favorite!! I don't like the foamy texture. I'm a little three months out and 64 lbs down! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mom2lucky (suznc) 81 Posted January 23, 2013 Anyone hear of protizyme?? People say it is good (reviews online) but that it is kind of expensive. I don't really care about the price if I can stomach it haha. You can buy single serve samples of Protizyme at Nashua Nutrition online. You can try the different flavors for $1.95 each rather than buy a whole tub. They sell Syntrax samples & others as well. It really helped me out 'cause ones I thought would be good really weren't.

Pam Peltz 56 Posted January 23, 2013 I have tried several Protein Drinks. GNC has one called Wheybolic (not the plain Whey!!) that does not have a nasty taste. Even my daughter likes it. Also the Bariatric Advantage are good. They have many flavors on their website. What about Greek yogurts? My Dr lets me eat these. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
