Ready-to-drink whey protein isolate shakes?



Recommended Posts

I'm going on a road trip in a couple weeks where we'll be camping for a night or two. I'd like to take some ready-to-drink Protein Shakes, since it will be hard to keep the milk cold and to wash my Blender Bottle for my regular shakes. I'm less than 1 month post-op and am supposed to drink 2 8 oz. shakes per day.

I tried doing a search on here, but the ready-to-drink shake I see recommended over and over is Premier. I like them, but my surgeon and NUT only allow shakes that are made with whey Protein isolate, and Premier is not.

I know a lot of people drink Isopure, but I'm really not sure that I would like it, since I prefer chocolate, vanilla, or PB flavored shakes, and fruity-flavored ones tend to make me gag.

Are there any other whey protein isolate shakes out there that I'm missing?

Isopuke is disgusting. If I were you, I would get in touch with your medical team and explain that it is just for a couple of days, you need RTD as you will be camping, and would they give permission to use whey concentrate rather than whey isolate just for a couple of days? I would be surprised if they said no, especially since the difference in absorption between isolate and concentrate is really not that huge.

@@Bufflehead, that's what I'm planning to do if I don't get suggestions for non-barfy alternatives before my next follow-up appointment on the 21st (we're leaving on the 24th). I can't see how it would be a problem for just a few days. I'll actually be staying at my parents' house for some of the time, so I can probably take my regular powders with me for that part of the trip. I'm just concerned about while we're on the road for 11 hours each way and camping overnight.

      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.
