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

      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
