Judy A Travis 2 Posted April 30, 2013 I haven't had my surgery yet but want to stock up on stuff! Can we have the Protein Shakes that mix with milk or just the ones that use Water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted April 30, 2013 Everyone is different....I'm 2 1/2 months post op, i have shakes that you mix with Water and some that you mix with milk....they stuff I liked pre-op I loathed post op so don't stock up too much!!!!! Also pretty much hated anything Protein smelling post op...the shakes are rough. When I drink em I use Syntrax nectars....thinner, not as sweet and gunky but they have to be ICE cold.....

Tcisme 13 Posted April 30, 2013 I've not had surgery yet either! But I'm gonna start trying different Protein Shakes and stuff to see what I can tolerate. I went to Walmart today and bought some Adkins strawberry shakes and Advant ones. I got a Body Fortress fruit punch Protein shot.. It has 26grams of protein only 2.9 oz. and I got 1 New Whey Liquid Protein (grape) shot. It has 42 g of protein in 3.8 oz. I'm gonna start trying them tomorrow. Wish me luck with something I like.

susieg55 4 Posted April 30, 2013 I haven't had my surgery yet but want to stock up on stuff! Can we have the Protein shakes that mix with milk or just the ones that use Water? My nutritionist advises using milk for the extra Protein. Regular fat free is fine unless you are lactose intolerant, then you can use lactose free/fat free milk. I have used the new EAS that has 26 grams of protein. I like the chocolate. Get it at Target. Also powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (only available online) at Unjury.com. They have a flavourless that works well with Crystal Light and a chicken Soup that is delicious along with the usual choc, van & strwbry. You can also, for a change, mix (all but chicken soup) any of the above with coffee (docs prefer caffeine free). Just be sure to let the liquids that are hot, cool to recommended temps (140 or below) or it will make the Protein powder clump up. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
