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?

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.....

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. :)

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.

      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.
