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

If you are using the Protein shake as a Meal Replacement rather than just a shot of protein, it doesn't need to be that light, in fact it's better to have more calories. I use the SlimFast Meal Replacement shakes branded High Protein/Advanced Nutrition. They have 20g of protein, 180 calories, 1g of sugar and 8g of healthy fats, plus 5g of Fiber, and a panel of Vitamins and minerals at about 1/3 the RDA. They cost about $2 each for 11oz. The chocolate ones are quite tasty in my opinion.

I have tried several and the premier ones are great...drink them cold though.

I used the muscle milk with 40grams of protein. It's about $4.50 a bottle but compare that to the cost of food during the day. They have a few great flavors.

I haven't tried Premier ( but I will now, after seeing so many people recommend it!). I have been using Optimum Nutrition Gold (double chocolate and vanilla ice cream flavors) for years and it's one of the only ones I can stand.

Premier vanilla slightly frozen, drink it w/a straw gives me the illusion of a milkshake. I heard they just came out w/ banana and cream flavor, can't wait to try that.

Yeah, it will pretty much be my only source of protein. Will check this out, thanks.

I asked a friend about these and she told me they didn't taste all that great. I'm just going to try suggestions until I get one I can get down.

I want something as close to Water as possible, consistency wise. I don't like smoothies, shakes any of that. I'm weird about food.

Look into Protein Water. They don't have as much Protein in them so you'd have to drink more (but counts towards fluids too). I bought Trumino Protein infused water. There may be other brands with more protein.
