Have you tried Special K protein water?



Recommended Posts

Hey,

I just wanted to let anyone who hasn't tried Special K Protein Water mix know that it's pretty good stuff, especially when you are on liquids! Ive had the pink lemonade and it is really good. It's 30 calories per 16 oz glass with 5 grams of protein. It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone, you get 16 oz of your liquid plus protein at the same time! I think it also comes in strawberry kiwi.

My doctor requires 48 hours of Clear Liquids after a fill so it helps to keep you from feling quite so hungry.

Yes! That stuff is awesome! I like the tropical splash, I think i'ts called. So much better than the whey protien powder junk. I would rather drink 4 Special K than one of the other!

I am going to have to try these. I love crystal light, but am willing to try changing it up a bit. I wish the fruit punch gatorade wasn't so high in calories, I love that stuff but try to avoid it.

They are all good but the iced Tea flavored one - that one, I could do without.

I also like the Crystal light fruit punch (taste a lot like the Gatorade mentioned above.) But alas, no Protein in it.

I don't particularly like sweet beverages, but I can drink the iced tea one, disliked the strawberry kiwi (though my 6-y.o. sweets lover really likes it), and haven't tried pink lemonade yet.

I think South Beach has a line of drink powders, too - not sure if they're similar in protein/fiber content.

I am drinkng the strawberry Lemonade right now during my full liquid stage and I am loving it! I am using the powder mix w/ bottled H2O. I like it so much better than Crystal Light, plus you get the added protein! :thumbup:

      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.
