What's your favorite pre-op protein? I HATE sucralose



Recommended Posts

I really dislike Sucralose ( Splenda.)

To the point that it makes me gag. My surgeon doesn't care WHICH I choose, as long as I get 60-70G of Protein and 800 Calories per day. I can't do that on Unjury unflavored powder.

I have tried Slim fast, Premier, Optifast, Muscle milk.

I am ready to CRY, how am I going to do this for THREE weeks?? Two pre-op and one post.

Any suggestions?

I really like the Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle and I am really picky about taste.

A friend bought me a container of the syntha-6 whey Protein Powder (strawberry milkshake flavor). I mix it with 1% milk and I love it. Have you tried a powder instead of already made shakes?

Maybe Isopure (the zero carb or low carb varieties)? It does list sucralose as an ingredient but I don't find them overly sweet so there likely isn't much. Also, I HATED splenda before surgery and it made me very sick. But, after surgery I have found that I can tolerate it with no problems and don't mind the taste in some things. So after surgery you might try some things again that you didn't like before and it might open up more options.

Have you tried GNC lean 25 shakes? I like them better than anything.

I drink Premier Protein chocolate everyday & love it. I’m 4 weeks post op & it’s very flavorful without a bad aftertaste.

Prior to surgery, I loved the Premier Protein “Banana Creme” the best & “Caramel” was good too. After surgery these two flavors are just way too sweet for me, but I still love the chocolate. They have 30 grams of protein too!! :)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I am going to spend the weekend securing samples of what I can and having a tasting party.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
