Pre-op diet protein shakes

[Hacker 0]

These things are nasty. My doc gave me the Arbonne Figure 8 Protein Shake. Nastiest thing I've ever drank. The diet instructions say to drink 1-2 a day but since friday I've only drank 1.

Are these nasty things really necessary if I'm only drinking them for Protein?

You definitely want to get your Protein in so they are kinda essential at this point. Try some different shakes , there is a big variety out there. I don't think there are many people who like the shakes but we all kinda have to suck it up. I am using the no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast and it is alright, definitely better then some of the others.

Good luck and remember Protein, protein, protein.:cursing:

Hi,:cursing: I have found that the Body Fortress whey Protein chocolate from Wal-mart is very good:thumbup:! It taste like if you took cocoa mix and put it in skim milk and shake. Or use the blender and it has no grainy taste. Hope this helps- it's about 15 $ and it has 26grams of protein in 1 serving. and that's about 30 servings per container. good luck finding one that works for you! :blushing:

Do what your doc says. If you can't drink them call monday and find out if there's an alternative, but don't just switch because of anecdotal advice. If your surgeon picked a specific type, s/he did so for a reason.
