protein drinks for someone 3 months post-op



Recommended Posts

Next week I will be 3 months post-op and I won't have to mix skim milk and Protein Powder in my shaker bottle anymore.

The nutritionist said I'll be able to buy pre-packaged Protein drinks, and I think that's going to be so much more convenient.

Here's my question: I don't know what the best pre-packaged Protein Drinks to buy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Premier Protein is my favorite of the ready-made shakes. They have several flavors, but I think the chocolate is best. 160 calories, 2 net carbs, 30 grams of Protein.< /p>

You will have to try a few to see what you like and more importantly what you can tolerate.

I drank premiere pre op but they make me nauseous now.

I drink EAS advant edge or GNC lean shake if I drink any at all ( which is very rare now) surgery was Nov 9th.

I wouldn't buy a whole lot until you know if you like them

Seems like everybody has a Protein Shake nowadays. I did a double take when I saw a Gatorade chocolate Protein shake this morning. I think the best ones have the least amount of sugar.

Is also drink EAS advant edge. I have the pre-made and the powder. Both are wonderful! My nut and doctor had the advant edge (powder and ready made) on the approved list of shakes for pre-op and post. I tried a lot of them before surgery but I found this to be the best kind. I really like the flavor. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
