yungshi 58 Posted November 6, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjenkins74 31 Posted November 6, 2014 My surgeon recommended whey or soy Protein and use slim or 1% milk. I like skinny protein. Honestly I have had trouble drinking it I am just so sick of it, but I am on full liquids now so everything is going in the food processors even chicken in my tortilla Soup lol!

yungshi 58 Posted November 6, 2014 My surgeon requires "bariatric advantage" YUCK had a sample today and I don't know how I will survive every swallow wanted to come up 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soymilk has more body than skim milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macman 603 Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) 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! Edited November 7, 2014 by macman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoAllTheWeigh 13 Posted November 7, 2014 Has anyone tried the unjury shakes I keep seeing advertised here on Bariatric Pal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 8, 2014 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.

ojibway 203 Posted November 8, 2014 nectar Protein taste pretty good too, not too sweet, several flavors available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dupexi 26 Posted November 9, 2014 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.

Denise8519 4 Posted January 4, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerohead21 4 Posted January 8, 2015 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...
