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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
