Recommended Posts

:biggrin:

They are awesome!!! Taste is great!!!!

The mix itself is 21gms of Protein plus the milk is 29gms! It also has 7gms of fiber! It did not taste gritty or funky as some Protein Drinks can...

my nutritionist also said i can add 1/3 cup of dry powder milk to this for 36gms of protein!!!

I was able to find mine at our local Kroger store, but you can order them online..

Ooohh, I have never heard of their shakes. Sounds good! Everything else they make is good....well except the frozen dinners. I also add powdered milk to my morning coffee instead of Creamer just to get a little extra protien in. It is not half bad. Its not as creamy but it doesnt Water it down like skim or regular milk.

I was very excited to hear about these shakes. I am desperately trying to find a Protein Shake I can tolerate. I went to Kashi's web site and was disappointed to see that the shakes have about 33g of carbs - not good for a diabetic. So, if carbs are an issue - need to be careful with the kashi shakes. It's probably why they taste so good.:biggrin:

Acutally my best friend is a diabetic nurse educator and a diabetic herself...

The carb total on my can is 32gms...the Fiber is 7gms so you can subtract the fiber from total carbs and that gives you a net carb of 25gms.

I have a horriable gag reflex and most Protein Shakes really gagged me...this was good!

My nutritionist also said that i could do 8 oz of milk, 1/3 cup dry powder milk, and a sugar free instant Breakfast which gives you about 21 gms of Protein depending on what instant breakfast you use.

I have also been told to add the powder milk to 8 oz of skim milk and use that to make puddings and soups...

I don' know what I would be doing if I hadn't come across your post! You are my savior. I tried a few Protein drinks before surgery and they made me gag. Then I read your post and bought the Kashi and it saved me I have no trouble drinking 3 a day. (I cut the suggested serving in half).

Thank-you for sharing! If only the rest of my post-op was as easy

Glad i could help!!! Just a suggestion...add in 1/3 cup of dry powder milk to the kashi...you get 8 more grams of Protein and it does not change the taste. Made it more "creamy"...

I also make a shake using 8 oz of skim milk, 1/3 cup dry milk, and 1 package of sugar free carnation instant breakfast...23gms of protein...and tasty!!!!!

      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.
