I need help! My surgery date is August 24, i need recommendations on Protein Shakes. I have tried a few and they are disgusting.. Any suggestions? Which one did you use preop?

Thanks in advance!

I used Premier Protein for the ready to drink and Jay Robb for the powder.

Premier Protein is awesome! Check out insurenutrition.com your insurance may pay for your shakes, Vitamins and scar cream etc. I get 4 cases (74 ready to drink shakes) of premier Protein a month at no charge. It's a great help and happy to share the info.

Same here. They are not that bad.

I ended up hating the ready to drink ones and love the powdered ones you make yourself. I also prefer making them with Water although in the past 2 days seeing as I am just post op, I have been making them with milk. I think its trial and error and know in the states you can get samples before buying larger amounts. Maybe that's something to think about before spending too much. Good luck in your search and hope you find something you like soon :)

Thank you so much for all your response.. I tried the chocolate premier but did not really like it. I thought it was way to chocolaty.......but I am thinking of just diluting it....which means I would have to drink more to get all the Protein in....

I bought some Isopure clear Protein Drink yesterday, the alpine punch taste okay just leaves a celery after taste...and I don't like celery :-) ..... I am thinking I can add a crystal light maybe it will taste better. 20oz will give me 40 grams of Protein :-)

Thanks for the info!! I will definitely check them out!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
