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.

      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.
