MizzouFan1 88 Posted February 2, 2014 Folks, What are your favorite Protein shakes/supplements for pre-op diet and post-op? Anyone had any luck finding organic/non-gmo protein shakes/supplements? Thanks! 1 Jencovi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanZ_RN 378 Posted February 2, 2014 You might want to do a search for this topic - I've seen numerous posts about Protein shakes since I joined last fall. My fave is Premier Protein, chocolate. I keep them in the coldest part of my fridge, and when I know I'm going to want one I take one out, shake well, and put it in the freezer. I leave it 25-30 minutes (freezer at home) / 55-60 minutes (freezer at work). At the end of that time I shake well and drink. I love the very-cold ice-shardness. 1 mtnhomeeee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtnhomeeee 27 Posted February 2, 2014 they have me on Optifast and they suck, after surgery I will use Premier they are good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiara5244 62 Posted February 2, 2014 Ive started using Bariatric Fusion and they are awesome but I also heard that Unjury shakes were really good too. Unjury also has a chicken flavor for Soups and broth and a cheese sauce. They sell a started kit that has samples so I wil be trying them next! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr-Patient 830 Posted February 2, 2014 I like 'Pure Protein shake,' the Frosty chocolate ready to drink at Walmart/ elsewhere. I also love Unjury"s chocolate Splendor...BUT I am currently avoiding all of them because I do not lose weight with Splenda/sucralose...which, alas, is in almost all of these things. The unjury chicken Soup is good, but do NOT make the Water too hot, it curdles big time. 1 Kiara5244 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizzouFan1 88 Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks folks! Just in case anyone is interested in organic non GMO powders I have included a very trusted list. http://foodbabe.com/2012/12/13/the-healthiest-protein-powders-on-the-market/ I think I will probably have to mix it with more than just Water but it will be worth it to bypass fake sugars which are a curse for me. 1 erp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keish_lorraine 190 Posted February 2, 2014 I love the GNC pre-madeTotal Lean shakes. I also like EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control chocolate Protein Shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leo0704 48 Posted February 3, 2014 I'm using premier chocolate. My favorite!! Loved them before and now even after surgery (January 28). Even better insurance is picking up the tab for them and delivering to my door monthly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macman 603 Posted February 3, 2014 I use Unjury chocolate Splendor, with PB2, ice and skim milk. Another good one is Chocolate Splendor with Torani sugar free Salted Carmel Syrup. Unjury French vanilla with PB2 is also good. For the pre-made shakes I se Premier Protein in Chocolate or Vanilla, available at Sam's Club. Atkins shakes are also good. Both Premier and Atkins have lower amounts or carbs with healthy doses of Protein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stacy_wls 135 Posted February 5, 2014 I love (LOVE!) Chike. I have it every morning. I also like unjury chocolate splendor, but only have that on rare days when I need 2 Protein shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWaltD 87 Posted February 8, 2014 I've been loving Muscle Tech Protein Powder. 120 cals and 20 gr of Protein per serving. Tastes great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitch101 24 Posted February 8, 2014 Oh wow! How did you get insurance to pick up the tab? I love the premier chocolate. Every morning or evening I make a Cappuccino like shake by using one premiere chocolate, I tbsp caffeine free instant coffee, a few ice cubes and a little artificial sweetener. It's frothy when I Blend it in my magic bullet and I feel like I'm cheating, its so good!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
