Protein Shakes

[nessale15 7]

1st post - Hi all. I am Lorraine, I should be having surgery in the next month. I was advised to find a tolerable Protein shake about now. I have thyroid cancer history and was looking for recommendations on a good tasting Protein Shake that is SOY-FREE that is between 150-170 calories, 3 grams or less of fat and 20-30 grams of Protein per 8 oz. serving. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for your suggestion however it is not soy free and does not fall into the nutritional requirements i will need pre and post op. Maybe your nutritional requirements are different, for me there is not enough protein in the glucerna and too much fat grams. I do appreciate your consideration, thank you and good luck on your journey. I should be having surgery myself by the end of may. I am nervous and excited.

I keep reading people saying don't buy too much, your taste and your needs will change after surgery. I understand the feeling of wanting to prep but i have to stop myself from going into panic mode and remind myself that i will be in stores again. I think we just need to prepare a few weeks work of shakes and puddings and yogurts etc.

I am on a budget and I already pre bought glucerna for my two week pre op liquid diet. As far as what to do post op my budget also super cedes my choices more so then taste. I will suck it up and go through the phrases as need be. I just want to do what I have to do and lose the weight

Hi everyone. I'm 2 weeks post op. Does anyone have any ideas on what type of unflavored powdered Protein we can add to meals? What have you tried? Thanks in advance.????

Have you thought about Isopure? It's 40 g Protein in a 20 oz bottle. I swore by them well after clear liquid stage and they really just taste like iced tea. Get it at the Vitamin Shoppe. I'm pretty sure it's soy free, but it is whey protein. I don't know if that is contraindicated based on your medical history. As always, see your NUT and surgeon.

My surgeon requires HMR Protein shakes (bought from their office) for 2 weeks prior to surgery and 1-2 weeks after. Right now I generally use Muscle Milk banana Creme or strawberry Creme, it's great, especially if you put a little PB2 powder in it. For lunch, I love the Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein.

Unjury sells a starter pack that has 10 single packets of their protein (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, unflavored and chicken Soup flavored) as well as a small shaker and a thermometer for about $20.

Unjury gets some of it's protein from soy, and the muscle milk has a little bit of soy lecithin in it (less than 1%) but they might be options for you as well. I'd definitely double check with my nut. or surgeon with your cancer history.
