I am having surgery November 5th so I am looking for shakes with a good amount of Protein, not a big fan of milk, seen the Kellogg to go Breakfast shake mixes wondering if anyone has tried them? How about adding ice and blending it? Also I bought the PB2 powder and was thinking about adding it... Are these things I can do once I get home from the hospital?

Please help...

I like them but my nut says they have too many carbs. After surgery for a 6-12 oz Protein supplement:

Protein: 20-25 grams

Total Carbs: 5 grams

Total fat: 3 grams

I did use them before surgery though.

I highly recommend the Isopure Zero Calorie shakes. They have some great flavors for mixing with Water like pineapple orange banana and mango peach. These are really worth looking into. Another one that a lot of people like without milk would be some of the fruitier nectar brand powders.< /p>

I agree on the Isopure. I bought the premade black tea with lemon and mix it half and half with regular iced tea. It tastes like the Lipton iced tea packets.

Grocery store Breakfast shakes are pure crap. You would be better off drinking plain milk.

I did not care for the flavor of any of the whey Proteins so I have no suggestions for them. I enjoyed the Spiru-tien shakes.< /p>

I found Premiere Protein Shakes offered the most Protein for the fewest calories. They are pre-made and available at Sam's Club and costco. I began using them prior to surgery. I stopped them after my one year checkup with my bariatric doctor, at their recommendation.

My surgery is scheduled for 11/10. I'm on week 2 of my 2 week diet. Just bought quite a few Atkins shakes from Wally - World (Walmart). They're on sale now 6 for the price of 4. I believe they have 1g of Carbs.

I bought mine on Vitamin shoppes website. Free shipping and a coupon brought the case down to $39.95

It is easier for me to drink than thick Protein shakes.

I drink a half of one a day, sometimes one each day. Depending on my Protein intake. Some days I'm not interested in eating much

      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.
