What's a good protein drink?



Recommended Posts

I want to start getting prepared for post-op and I'm wondering what drinks you guys like. I randomly came across an already mixed drink from Iconic Protein. It's 20g of Protein, has Fiber, B12 and only 130 calories...but at almost 4 dollars a bottle I'm wondering if it's worth it. Any suggestions

I use Premier Protein. Ready to drink shakes a d still at 10 months post-op have 1 every day. For powders I use Precision Engineered whey Protein Isolate. Both the chocolate and the vanilla are wonderful. My sister (non-WLS) tried it and loved it much more than the others she had tried.

I like Premier Protein, Syntrax nectar, unjury, and GNC Lean shake 25. I also like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (great for the clear phase), Quest, and Eve Carnation Breakfast essentials (a nice budget option).

Try samples before you commit to buying a large container of anything. Also, keep in mind that your tastes may change post-op.

I am using premier Protein, vanilla flavor and I really like it. Today is one full week in the liquid diet and I've been using them at least twice a days for the past 7 days and haven't gotten tired of it yet.

I really like Unjury chocolate Splendor - tastes just like chocolate milk when I mix it with milk.

One more I just remembered as I am getting one out of my cabinet for an evening snack - if you like hot chocolate, check out the Protein hot chocolate from the BariatricPal Store. The amaretto flavor is my favorite! Only time I have actually found Protein powder that could be heated and didn't clump. 80 calories and 15g Protein.< /p>

I agree with everyone else premier Protein is 1 of the best I have tried, no after taste which was my biggest issue and 1 of the only shakes I have seen to offer 30g Protein per shake!!!!!

Premier Protein is a very smooth texture - just slightly thicker (but not much) than full fat milk.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
