Hi everyone! I just had my surgery yesterday.. and I am on here looking for some tips and suggestions ... also support..lol

So tired and sore. The gas bubbles are the worst.

What kind of protien shakes do you guys suggest? I got some but I am still looking.

thanks!:mad:

Welcome to Bandland Chief!!! I am glad your surgery went smoothly!!! The recovery can be slow for some people---walk a lot and use a heating pad for the gas problems, it is pretty common.

I used Unjury powder and made my shakes---it was ok, I also just bought the ready made ones at Walmart I cannot remember the name AES Advantage or something like that. I do recommend the sugar free flavored syrups for adding ooomph to the shakes. You can also use sugar free pudding mix (just a small amount or it gets thick!), even peanut butter...they all help make them a little more palatable.

In the beginnig, where you are now I used Zero Carb Isopure. It is clear liquid---well thin....not heavy like a shake, and has 40 g. of Protein per bottle. It isn't great tasting, but some flavors were ok---I preferred it ICE cold!!! I looked at it as a medicinal necessity!!! I bought it at GNC. Hitting the protein will help you feel better more quickly.

We look forward to getting to know you, and watching you drop the weight!!!

Once again----WELCOME!!

I used carnation instant breakfasts for my Protein Drinks with 2 % milk.

Spiru-tein is great! I mix it with skim milk and ice and it taste pretty good. My favorite flavor is the Peanut Butter chocolate Swril. Good luck.
