Protein Shake Help!!!!



Recommended Posts

:biggrin:Hi every one, I am new to this site and I am starting my pre-op diet Tuesday. The only guidelines my doc told me is it has to have at least 15g of Protein and a low sugar count. I am trying to find a powder to keep the cost down, but I am so confused as what I am looking for. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would prefer to not order online because I have to start Tuesday. Any help would be great!!

Thanks!!

Well I'll be honest -- Protein shakes in general are not cheap. That said here are 3 that you can buy either in the grocery store or a Target and they are pretty good. Good Luck.

1. CarbSolutions $10 per can (about 14 servings)

Regular grocery store or Walgreens

Don't make them w/all Water -- vanilla is better than chocolate. If you are not use to Protein Shakes these are pretty thick and chalky -- but I actually like them.

2. EAS Advant Edge Carb Control Shakes

About $5-8 for 4 (not powder)

Walmart or Target

3. Metab ReSet

$29.99 for about 14 servings

Whole Foods

The chocolate is really good.

i use EAS Advant Edge Carb Control shakes from Walmart - about $5 for 4, if you drink them nice and slow they really fill you up and taste nice too.

good luck with surgery

GNC has great products. The Atkins drinks and Ease products can be bought at Walmart or Target and have at least 15 grams or Protein.< /p>

Prior to my surgery 1 month ago I bought a bag of EAS vanilla powder at Sam's for $32.00 . I drink a shake every day and I am still on my same bag. Also if you call the company they will send you coupons for $1.00 each . I mix it 1/2 milk 1/2 Water and it is really good. I actually crave it sometimes. :thumbup:The milk makes the difference. With straight water they suck. I also bought the pre-make chocolate which was much more expensive and it is nasty.

      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?

      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.
