GODSON 20 Posted July 1, 2014 Hey sorry forgot to mention most of these muscle milk are not made with milk products. I recommend goin to a local grocery grabbing one (ready to drink serving size bottle) out of the fridge n giving it a try before u decide to buy. I have a whey Protein just sitting here that I found terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi75 1,236 Posted July 4, 2014 i LOVE the Muscle Milk Light 100 cal chocolate or the Pro Series Mint chocolate. I mix either with skim milk and ice to increase the Protein count and the liquid amounts. i was ok with the nectar drinks prior to surgery but post i cannot stand the whey taste of ANY of the drinks. Muscle Milk light does not have any whey taste or chalky flavor. really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackieN78 22 Posted July 5, 2014 I use Unjury personally. I've been on a kick of using 8 ozs Trop 50 orange juice (reduced sugar and carbs - within my 10 per serving guideline) and I add a scoop of vanilla unjury to it. It's pretty tasty if I say so myself. Not a daily thing for me but when I need a good 20 grams Protein for a day it helps! Also when I drank Optifast pre-op, I used to mix a shake with Water, add a truvia (Splenda) packet, ice and a flavor extract - peppermint with chocolate shakes was amazing! That made them more palatable at least 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natalie_christin 61 Posted July 6, 2014 I would check with your doctor about mixing things with the Protein shake – I know it varies from doctor to doctor but I know personally I wasn't allowed to mix anything other than Water with the Protein Shake for at least the first few weeks… Just a suggestion as it was a point of confusion for me. I didn't realize until the last minute. What is the things that really helped though was being able to add extra X to the shakes – vanilla extract is a biggie and there's also, and strawberry extracts as well. There's others but those were the main ones I used. Good Luck 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candle48 0 Posted July 6, 2014 I found Bariatric Advantage s James to be the best. They are smooth and not gritty- also not too sweet. Or a nice cream is my favorite flavor. It can be pur based on the Bariatric Advantage website or Amazon. They are costly, so I sampled well before surgery & gradually stocked up to s pre a d out the cost. Th e y are s great source of Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamingskinny 5 Posted July 6, 2014 Hi there I am new here I just went to SAMs Club and bought the Premier Protein shakes they took $4.00 off at the register and they cost regularly $15.98 so what I really paid was $11.98 for a 12 pack I think the strawberry is a few dollars more but worth it and they are very tasty! I still do not have a surgery date thinking early August just waiting on paperwork! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDkpRN 5 Posted July 8, 2014 I am 7 days post op. I have tried the premiere chocolate. It's ok. But I like the taste of the Ensure Active Hi Protein Milk Chocolate. Premiere has 30gr protein in 11 oz and the Ensure has 25gr in 14 oz. You need to get in 75gr of protein daily so take that into consideration because you can only consume small amounts 4-6 oz. 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiredmama 138 Posted July 8, 2014 I found the ready to drink shakes easier to tolerate than the powders. I tried a few vanilla varieties and decided to stick to chocolate ones. If you haven't tried Ensure High Protein Milk Chocolate flavor, I would check it out- is has a much thinner, smoother texture than some of the others. The taste of premiere protein chocolate is ok but the texture is way too thick for me so I thin it with Water. Muscle Milk Light is pretty good too and is lactose free. On a whim I tried their mango peach variety and I actually really liked it but it is hard to find. You might want to order a sample pack from unjury- the protein "chicken" broth is really good and a wonderful break from the shakes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaFuega 3 Posted July 10, 2014 My Dr prefers that his patients use the Premier Protein drinks because they are soo high in Protein - 30g. I like the chocolate flavor. As with any of these drinks... they just have to be cold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
