myvsglife 2 Posted December 3, 2013 Hollo : I will start my pre op liquid diet in two days it's a 15 day liquid diet. Does anyone know a good Protein that you can recommend that is budget friendly and I can you use as a Meal Replacement.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted December 3, 2013 Body Fortress is a good Protein and it is relatively inexpensive. You can get it at Walmart or online. If you want a Meal Replacement (protein + vitamins) maybe GNC Total Lean? Pure Protein is another good, budget-friendly option (Kroger, Target, online).

slvrsax 301 Posted December 3, 2013 Premier Protein - I paid $24 for a case of 18 at costco. Tastes better than others on the market too, best super cold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenniebell00 32 Posted December 3, 2013 I think the premier is one of the best. Also GNC total lean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joatsaint 2,814 Posted December 4, 2013 If you like chocolate, I can't recommend Premier Protein enough. A good runner up is EAS carb control chocolate. I think Premier costs about $1.50/shake and EAS is about $1.25/shake. I liked them so much I never tried another brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smorgan0000 6 Posted December 6, 2013 I had a 2 week all sugar free liquid diet preop. I lived on premiere Protein. It's my fave!! I've actually been living on it for months. I lost 50 lbs preop thanks to premiere protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArcusX 216 Posted December 8, 2013 I prefer the Isopure powders. 200 cal, 50g Protein. ~$2 per serving. Vitamin Shoppe online has the best price that I've found. Another thing that's great, is it mixes better than any powder I've used. Here are the flavors I've tried: Dutch chocolate (low carb): My favorite vanilla (zero carb): good, solid. My wife's favorite Strawberry's & Cream (zero carb): Just started this one for the first time this week. Wife's choice. Much better than I expected. I think it's my second favorite. banana Cream (zero carb): very good. Probably equal to strawberry, imo. pineapple, Orange, banana (zero carb). I didn't like this one, but I managed to get through the tub. My neighbor was sleeved about 4 years ago, and he highly recommended the Isopure RTD for post op. High in Protein (50g), but much more expensive (~4$ per bottle) than the powder. But, you don't have to worry about air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobheist 85 Posted December 8, 2013 I agree with the posters about both the Premier RTD and the Isopure powder. I've been using one scoop of the Isopure zero carb vanilla (105 calories/25 grams of protein) and find that works great for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
