Another Protein Drink ?



Recommended Posts

I am on my pre-op diet and having a hard time drinking the Protein Drinks. I currently am drinking the Premier Protein ones from costco, the chocolate flavor. I don't really care for the thickness of it as I have never been a fan of any kind of shakes. Do you think it would hurt if I poured it over ice and drank it that way?

Try whatever works. I usually have to dilute any type Protein drink. Extra liquid is always good

I like the EAS Carb Control ready to drink . They are 100 calories and least 17 grams of Protein. They are also a thinner consistentcy in my opinion. I buy them at Target or Rite Aid. I like the taste and they are convenient.

I'm on day two. Do you have Trader Joe's by you? Their Protein is so good.

Also one of my friends recommended Vega shakes, they have them at Whole Foods and natural food stores. They only have plant Protein. The flavor is very different from anything else. So if you are bored, I would try that!

I have also made broth on the stove and added spices and garlic, it's not bad!

Have been drinking Protein Shakes for a long time and my favorite is SIx Star - Isopure chocolate favor from Walmart. Its powder form you just mix it with Water (or milk i guess but to me its empty calories). one scoop is only 130 calories and 30 grams of Protein. I mix it with 8oz but if you want it even thinner you can add more water.

You totally can!! Or blend it with ice! :)

Hang in there! This is one of the hardest parts!! Push through days 3-4 and you'll be OK! :)

I use the Atkins shakes. They have 15gr of Protein. I get them at sams club for 12 for 15 dollars. I also like the package. The top can be taken off and on. I work as an RN and sometimes I don't get breaks. I can drink this in between running around the unit.

      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.
