Protein drink suggestions please



Recommended Posts

So having scoured forums for suggestions of palatable Protein Drinks I find most of the ones recommended are not available in Australia.

Does anyone have some suggestions of ones that taste reasonable and are well tolerated by a new pouch? I am having trouble with my pouch not wanting to accept anything much in the way of Protein. ( 3 weeks out from RNY)

I could barely stomach Protein drinks after surgery. I drank lots of milk. Not sure what's available, but there's various protein Water out there. Isopure makes some but they can be pricey. I make my own Protein Shakes where they taste like milkshakes otherwise I wouldn't be able to stomach them.

Hello,

I am 14 months post op roux en y and I use instant Protein Powder from Aldi. I paid about $10 and I mix it in with a smoothie so I can not taste it. The Protein powder comes in both vanilla and chocolate.< /p>

Good Luck

Dawn

Premier Protein premadr chocolate shakes are so good you must try it! They are made with Water have 160 calories 30 grams or Protein less then 1 sugar and 5 carbs! You can find them in Walmart Sam's club Walgreen's and they aren't a bad price my favorite flavors are chocolate caramel and banana

Hi Jackie

we do not have Walmart in Australia. A lot of American products are unfortunately not available here.

Dawn is right and it is why I was asking specifically for products available in Australia. We have such a limited range available ... I think we get the rejects the rest of the world won't buy.

      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.
