Hey yall! So I was just wondering what kind of Protein Shakes yall use.

I started off with the Premier Protein shakes but decided to switch over to body fortress super advanced whey Protein Powder. I switched bc the premier Protein just was too chocolatey for me.

If anyone uses powder, what do you mix it with?

I mixed mine with whole milk, but I'm not sure if that's allowed after the surgery...

I have my surgery next Friday so I started drinking the protein shakes again today to get me in the habit.

My NUT told me that Protein shake was ok so I guess I'll stick to it.

I'm just dreading this liquid stage for two weeks post op.

Are you going to be taking the chewable bariatric Vitamins?

I mix powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein powder with Silk unsweetened soymilk + sugarless flavorings to change them when they get boring. Soymilk has more body than skim milk.

I am a fan of Protein shakes. I primarily use chocolate Splendor, vanilla and strawberry Sorbet. I usually mix with ice, skim milk and Torani sugar free syrups. The syrups are great: Hazelnut, Almond Roca, Coconut and Salted Caramel. I also use Chike coffee flavored Protein, PB2 (Peanut Butter flavor) and Syntrax Nectars Fuzzy Navel. I like making my own versus the pre mixed.

Quest will begin selling their new line of protein powder tomorrow. I will have to check them out!

Has anyone tried the unjury shakes I keep seeing advertised here on Bariatric Pal?

I used prosource no carb for the first week since I had that in the hospital. It wasn't bad but it's really thick and viscus. However if you mix it with herbal tea or Water, it's wasn't bad. I tried several different types before surgery. I ended up doing a mix of the prosource, premixed Orgain organics & CVS brand whey powder mixed with almond milk or sometimes greek yogurt.

I strongly recommend getting a few single serving sample packs of a variety of different ones and trying them out to see which ones you like before committing.

I'm using the low or zero carb Isopure whey Protein. Has 50g protein per serving, tastes good, and performed the best on trials that check for things like actual protein be advertised, and no heavy metal contamination.

I will have to say I tried so many Protein shakes before pre op and nectar Protein became my favorite of all of them. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury was good to but I dont like the size tub. All the other protien shakes I stayed away from becasue they had so many items like staturated fat added stuff I wasnt sure about and alot more calories. With nectar theres only 25 calories per serving and no extra stuff added.

Syntrax Nectar. Delicious. It's not gritty, no after taste, no need to chug it down. I do recommend if you mix with Water you dilute it more than 8 oz per scoop, but the ones mixed with milk are so good my 5 and 1 year old ask for it. And it was approved by my surgeon...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
