UK Protein and liquids



Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

OK since most people on here are from US and have access to brands we don't, does anyone have Protein Shake, drink mixes etc ideas that we can use ove here?

I'm aware of the whey isolate brands etc but I like the idea of the Isopure drinks as shakes can be barftastic.

Any hints, tips etc most welcome :)

I use Optimum Nutrition Protein powder (mix with Water not milk) and Gatorade Carb Killa Caramel Chaos Bars.

Did before surgery and still do now.

Yum.

Cheers guys, I've seen some of them in Home Bargains and shops but not the Gatorade ones - where did you go for them?

Amazon.co.uk (shops sell them but easier and cheaper to buy in boxes of 12).. also Syntrax nectar was great pre and post op (also Amazon). I bought a few and loved the grape so stuck with that. Also take a look at www.myprotein.com. I buy my Protein latte from there and have one or two a day even now.

Tesco stock them (some stores) and also Holland and Barrett but as I sais Amazon are cheaper.

      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.
