Help so many protein shakes to choose from?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used isogenix,advocare after gastric sleeve surgery? I have used these products in the past and am familiar with them. I am scheduled for surgery on Feb. 21. Any info on this would be welcomed. Thx!

They both have more sugar and calories than you need. Try to keep calories under 200 per shake.

I was told to try to get whey based shakes.

Premiere Protein gives you 30g of protein for 160 calories. It's my favorite now.

The caramel flavor is extremely good in coffee...tastes like a latte:)

I don’t like the premade stuff, I use Isopure zero carb Protein Powder in chocolate, 1 scoop, 1 cup 1% milk, 2 tbsp Greek plain yogurt and two small slices of banana, blend it and it’s so delicious! The first two weeks I made 2 scoops with Water and nothing else , it was still good but not as tasty or thick as the one with milk and yogurt.

My dr. recommended Muscle Milk, Premier Protein, Isopure, Designers Whey Cytosport, etc. I've been drinking either Muscle Mile or Premier Protein. Trying to get 60 grams of protein/day

My nutritionist recommended the Premier Protein and muscle milk, both of which have sucralose that gives me a terrible reaction. I’m trying out Vega One right now, the stevia is sitting with me a lot better. I’m planning to ask my NUT next visit if this is okay. It’s not whey Protein but I haven’t found anything with that I can handle.

      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.
