Best Liquid Meal Replacement/Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

My liquid diet time is coming up. 10 days before, 6-8 weeks afterwards. I'm going to be on liquid meals for a long time, and I have started a chart comparing them on my computer. Any suggestions for me to try?

I think my thread is maybe out of place, would a moderator fix it? I didn't look at the food forum before I posted it.

I know I've said this before but I use EAS. By itself it's not the best, but not the worst either.

I mix the following together to get a good shake...

chocolate EAS with 1/2 cup 1% milk and 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt. Add 2 teaspoons of Peanut Butter

Chocolate EAS with 1 cup 1% milk and 2 to 4 teaspoons of fat free cream cheese

Chocolate EAS with 1 cup 1% milk 1/2 to 1 teaspoon instant cappucino or hot chocolate mix

Vanilla EAS with 1 cup 1% milk or 1/2 and 1/2 milk and yogurt mix with your favorite frozen or fresh fruit and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, almond, coconut flavoring.

Just experiment with your goodies. You'll find something that will get you going and taste great!

I had to be on liquid diet two weeks pre-op and two weeks post-op...I drank slim fast (optima) it really does curb your appetite....I started out drinking 3 or 4 a day until day 3 and then I dropped a slim fast and replaced with a small green salad(this is allowed by my doctor)this is before the surgery...after the surgery, I didn't want anything to eat...I still drank the slim fast, just small amounts at a time...

Probably because Boost and Ensure are also used for people who don't eat anything at all. Tube feedings and such and the calories are not great at all.

I've never tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but from what I read, most like it. Are you mixing it with Water or something like OJ?

Unjury is excellent....if you have the non flavored mix it with whatever drink you like...i usually use oj in am for Breakfast and crystal light in the afternoon.

It is by far so much better than any other I have found. I DONT LIKE LIQUID PROTIEN FROM GNC...OH MY GOODNESSS....GAGAGAGGAGAGAGAGGA

I don't have a comment regarding powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury one way or another, never tried it. But the Protein drink from GNC is vile and disgusting. I couldn't agree more.

I love Unjury! It is less sweet than the others and like Hoosierpoms says, the unflavored in Soup or juice or whatever is awesome! I was running low on calories/protein the other day so I used a scoop of chocolate unjury, lf mild an 2 tblsp sugar free Peanut Butter. YUMMO! Tasted like a chocolate pb shake! I also really liked the chicken broth much better than the others I have tried. What don't you like about it? And which have you tried? I am not a fan of vanilla or strawberry....

I have a really hard time finding a Protein drink that is worth a darn so that is why the unflavored is my favorite. :)

I am not fond of Protein Shake either, but I found a mix at costco - Sportpharma (chocolate) Whey Protein mix that is not that bad. I mix it with 2% milk and a half of a small banana and I feel satisfied. I also used the Unjury Protein (unflavored) in Soup (Better than Bouillon) and found it did not alter the taste at all.

      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.
