Help - protein shake preferences!

[clayverde 2]

Hi all - I just got my surgery date today and it is July 21st. I have to start an all liquid diet 10 days before the surgery. I hate Slimfast and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for things that are better tasting, more variety, etc. I would rather not have 10 days of choking things down and trying not to heave it up again! All suggestions, ideas, etc would be appreciated - thanks!!:biggrin2:

I use Quest whey Protein with milk and I really like it. You can also google Unjury and they have samples you can order. nectar is also another brand. I got the lemonade version and didn't like it.

Hi, I am tnag86. I am scheduled for lap banding on 7/17. I am excited, but also very nervous. I am looking forward to talking to others here on this site for info and support!! :confused_smile:

Try a soy Protein Powder mix. I like GeniSoy's strawberry and I add skim or soy milk and ice in a blender.

Congrats on getting a surgery date. unjury was definitely the best tasting vanilla or chocolate I found. After surgery, in the mushy stage, the unflavored is great as an addition to Soups and oatmeal and mashed potatoes to boost the Protein. As stated above, Unjury has samples available, which I liked to taste before buying.

10 days goes fast!!

Congrats on the date!!! Exciting.

As far as the drinks go they had the low sugar carnation good start Breakfast drinks.< /p>

But the Whey products are usually preferred.

Good luck:thumbs_up:

Try Carnation Instant Breakfast. It's delicious and has good Protein. Better than any protien shake Ive tried! They have chocolate malt, strawberry and french vanilla.< /p>

oh yeah one more thing. i use the carnation instant breakfast and add a little spoonful of Walmart whey Protein to get more protein. Still delicious!

Well, there are so many out there. I really love the Isopure chocolate and vanilla powder. I mix them with fruit, etc. I've tried the Unflavored Unjury and wasn't really impressed. Carnation instant breakfast is great. The best thing you can buy to help you with your purees and shakes is a hand held blender. Good Luck!

I am with NewYear! I am a unjury fan. I love their vanilla and chocolate flavors. Tastes like a rich milkshake! Check out their web site.

Thank you all for the great ideas! I wanted to let you know (and anyone else who reads this looking for the same answers I was!) that I went online and was able to order from the unjury website some samples for $1.75 each and about $3.50 for shipping. Here is that site:

And googled nectar Protein (btw - nectar got RAVE reviews on every site I found, almost all 5 stars and no complaints!) and found this site that offers a package of all 12 flavors for $19.00 (but $10.00 shipping!):

I am going to check out the Carnation Instant Breakfast and the other suggestions as well. Thank you guys so much!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time!!! :confused_smile:
