What is a good Post Op shake?



Recommended Posts

I prefer the choc whey Protein from Walmart, mixed with Dannon Fit and Lite strawberry/banana yogurt and a little skim milk. Tastes like a rich choclate smoothie. Add a few frozen strayberries if you want more flavor

My preference is Worldwide Protein Shakes. They come in 21 g or 35 g Protein, vanilla and chocolate. They are much lower in fat than Atkins (1g for WW and 9g for Atkins), only have 1 sugar and to me they taste better. They are found at Trader Joe's.

I've tried all kinds and they all gave me serious gastric problems. So far the only one I can drink is All the Whey-for bariatric/lap band. It has no fat, no carbs, sweetened with Stevia, gluten free and lactose free. I love the strawberry shortcake and orange creamsicle!!!

All the whey | Whey Protein supplements for Bodybuilding and Health

When I went to that site, I couldn't figure out how to find the flavors.

I went to bariatric and it said Protein powder, but didn't list any flavors.

I am on New Direction and Unjury. They both are really good. I also have been adding sugar free syrups in mine and for the life of me right now I can't think of the brand of those. I can look them up if anyone wants me to.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I TRULY hate Protein bars and drinks and know I'm going to have to find something I can tolerate. I completely failed the Weight Loss for Life plan because I couldn't stomach their drinks.< /p>

Trader Joes, Atkins, unjury, GNC.... I'll be sure and check them all.

Thanks again!

I choose Jay Robb's Egg White Protein Powder. The shakes taste great and are less foamy than whey. Vanilla, chocolate and Pina Colada flavors are available. I lift weights so I drank them before being banded and they were perfect for the two weeks I had to be on liquids only. Now I am onto real food - mushy - and still supplement with a shake in the morning. You can get it at any Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe. (I was banded 3/11/08 Dr. Jeremy Korman - Los Angeles. 13 pounds down so far.)

Hi There,

I use the Isopure, 50grams of carbs per serving and very little carbs. I add a 1/2 teaspoon of PB to the chocolate and sometimes a couple slices of banana and I am good until lunch. ANd I know that I have pretty much gotten all my Protein for the day, this is what keeps you full. I get mine at GNC, lots of flavors, I mix up the flavors sometimes, makes it interesting.

Good Luck

Isopure from GNC comes in a powder form for shakes and a juice type drink. Low carb, no sugar and 40-50 grams of Protein per serving.

I tried the fruit punch flavor drink the other day and it's o-k-a-y (only if really cold) but I really have to be in the mood to tolerate it.

This morning I tried the chocolate flavor powder (1 scoop=25 g.pro with 8 oz. lactaid ff milk 8g.pro)

Wasn't bad at all! I was quite impressed!

About an hour later I got really sick (the tushie way). Not sure why. I will try it again tomorrow and see if I get the same result. This sucks cuz I really need to be getting Protein in-I am terrified about losing hair!!!

      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.
