Harsha 168 Posted July 6, 2016 I'm so excited to finally be at this stage! The only thing I am most bummed about is that my nutritionist said I need to drink regular milk with my Protein shakes because I need the calories I have been drinking almond milk or soy milk for years... I will follow what she says though. I'm just excited to July 21st to get here and get this done and continue the next step of my journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrinkinqtpi 202 Posted July 6, 2016 .... You HAVE to listen to your nutritionist... But mine said unsweetened soymilk is a good choice. I haven't had milk in years and it would make me sick to drink it. Listen to your body as you follow instructions and call her fast if you get sick.

Harsha 168 Posted July 6, 2016 I will call her if needed. Hopefully I'll get through the milk part.. I did ask if it could be skim.. she said 1% was better but skim would be okay. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrinkinqtpi 202 Posted July 6, 2016 @Harsha LOL - so many complain about the Protein shakes - but for those of us who do not drink our dairy the Protein saves the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MCE1205 47 Posted July 7, 2016 What Protein shake are you using? I'm 3 months post-op and still drink one Protein Shake a day. I used Shaklee pre-op found it chalky. Nurse gave me a sample of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury which mixes beautifully but find it a bit sweet. I'm currently using Inspire Caramel Latte mixed with coffee and 1% milk but I'm getting bored with it.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What Protein Shake are you using?

Shrinkinqtpi 202 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I like aria and have used a brown rice Protein for about a year. I am worried about using the mandated types suggested by my nutritionist so I have purchased the unflavored Bariatric Pal Protein broth. Thank heavens she allows the protein broth and the joe product as well. It is decaffeinated but has the flavor. If only I could continue my products... But she said there is not enough protein in either of them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited July 9, 2016 by Shrinkinqtpi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
