Can I drink Muscle Milk?



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on 4-4-13. I'm having an awful time with the Protein Shakes. Bought 3 huge tubs of whey isolate from GNC and couldn't stomach it... Then bought the EAS shakes but I have an even harder time with those! The only thing I've been able to get down is vanilla creme muscle milk, but I'm not sure if this is an option because I never hear people mention it. Is this an OK way to get my Protein?

Well, I think it is pretty high (for us post op) in sugar. I know some people can tolerate them but I can't after surgery. Most premade shakes even at 5 months post op do me in.

However, I would try the samples you can order from bariatric pantry. This is how I found Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle. It is what got me through post op and I still have one almost everyday. Also, the Syntrax Matrix Mint Cookie is good too.

I heard you can drink the low fat ones. I think as long as they have a good amount of Protein and really low sugar you should be good.

I'm doing the reg muscle milk before surgery and switching to the light afterwards. However, I'm not sure what my body will like or not. My nut says that I should be able to tolerate the muscle milk but we will have to see.
