April Marie 69 Posted December 26, 2018 Hey guys I'm currently on my 3rd day of my liquid diet and was wondering does anyone have a tip for good Protein Shakes? I'm doing the fusion powder ones where you add lactaid milk to it and it has been getting me sick and making my stomach hurt. I'm doing everything else with no problem, but it's the Protein. I'd appreciate it. T-minus 12 days til my surgerySent from my 5049Z using BariatricPal mobile app 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zombieskayer 84 Posted December 26, 2018 I use the Quest Protein Powder. You can get it in all kinds of flavors. I've also been using the Premier Protein premade stuff as well. With the powder I find it taste like 50000% better putting it into a blender and mixing it with the milk and some ice. It helps with the consistency. If you haven't been doing the shakes before the liquid diet your stomach does take some time to adjust. I know the first few days I started using the Protein powder my stomach was a mess but not it's not like that at all. 1 April Marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SimoneMonet 62 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Here's some recipes that my dietitian gave - y'all may have the same ones. Some of the flavor may help to get the Protein down.

notmyname 593 Posted December 27, 2018 I also like the variety of the Syntrax Nectar shakes. Love the lemonade. They sell a variety pack. I haven't seen them in stores, but I have bought it online. I also like Unjury chocolate and premier chocolate. re: budget, just remember even if the powders seem expensive, you'll only be spending a couple dollars a meal, so it is still cheaper than most foods you'd eat before surgery. Good luck. 2 April Marie and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Clasik 141 Posted December 27, 2018 Also, check out some of the Protein waters. They help get in protein as well. Without the powder. Some decent flavored protein Water out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riseup 13 Posted December 27, 2018 I used the GNC lean Protein Shakes strawberry or banana..sometimes I mixed them and that was really good. I also used Protein water..the mixed berry is my favorite flavor..15grams of protein. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
