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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
