Protein shakes,

[starlight_dreams 15]

I am pre op RNY and have tried a couple different types of shakes. I am just wondering what is everyone drinking or drank prior to surgery and how was it, good, great, bad, horrible?

I didn't drink shakes ahead of time though I bought some different powders and a sampling of Syntrax nectar flavors and tried them. In the first month after surgery I drank unjury chocolate but at about 3 weeks I couldn't tolerate it anymore. Everything became too sweet and made me want to gag. So I started adding in Mint flavoring and Hersey's SF chocolate Syrup to change up the taste. I also would add Isopure Unflavored Protein powder to apple sauce and SF chocolate pudding.

In months 2 - 3 I used the Inspire Chocolate and Butter Mint powders (bariatriceating.com) and Premier Protein Caramel pre-made drinks - once a day in the morning. I also drink Fairlife milk (13g protein) with SF Hershey's Syrup.

Now at 4 months, I can get most of my Protein from food and just drink the Premier Protein Caramel on mornings that I am working out to give me that extra protein.

My favorites are the Premier Protien shakes, for sure.

I can't handle thick shakes. I tried syntha 6 chocolate brownie and Peanut Butter cookie. They both make me sick now and I feel I'm going to gag while drinking them. I tried skin fast pre made drinks too, same thing to darn thick. Premier Protein I seem to do ok with. I just ordered the inspire Protein Powder in blueberry cheesecake. I hope it's good and I can tolerate it.

Don't stock up pre surgery because your taste can change after surgery!

I loved Premier Protein preop and didn't want them postop. I'm all about EAS myoplex chocolate fudge because it provides Protein AND calories.

Ps it's horrible after a while but worth it. When you are able to eat again it is glorious.
