Recommended Posts

I hate all of the Protein drinks that I have tried so far.... any chance you guys know of a way to get your Protein without drinking a chalky drink? is there any drinks that arent chalky? any other alternative? doc wants me to have 120g protein per day pre-op. Seems like a lot. anything out there that is mega concentrated? so you dont have the chalkyness?

September 22 op date!!!! :blushing:

The Isopure Zero Carb drinks are pretty good. They have 40g of Protein in 20 ounces. They have fruity flavors, sort of like Sobee Lean and those types of drinks. Usually they're at places like Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. They go down easy. I like to use them when I have to go all-liquid because they're ready to drink with mixing.

There's also nectar Protein powder. They have a thinner consistency than many of the Protein Drinks and taste pretty good. I used to mix some instant espresso in with the chocolate truffle flavor for a latte-like drink. I've also had the tropical flavor, which is sort of like a thin pina colada.

The Protein Shots aren't too bad, except they're not a complete Protein, I've been told, and sometimes they give me diarrhea. Actually, the brand I got at Vitamin Shoppe were fine, but the costco ones didn't agree with me. They're quite handy, if your body can tolerate them. I used to drink them straight. You can mix them with Crystal Lite or iced tea if you don't like the thick texture.

Good luck!

I found nectar to be disgusting. The Roadside Lemonade at least. I have tried many and finally settled on slim fast high Protein powder. Not as much Protein as some but it is approved for the pre-op diet I am on. It is much better than the others. It has 15 grams when milk is added. I have Isopure in the fridge but have not tried it yet. alot of people think it taste likes weak gatorade.

I bought nectar, Fuzzy Navel flavor and its not too bad. 23g Protein per scoop mixed with 8 or 16oz Water. At least its not the sickeningly sweet flavor of Slimfast shakes which ive been on for the past 17 days lol

Try nectar Brand. It is a powder and comes in all kinds of flavors, some you mix with milk but most with Water. There is strawberry kiwi, fuzzy navel, capuccino, and a bunch of others that are fruity in nature. Vitamin Shoppe has it, plus other brands that may meet your protein needs without getting a milk based drink.

      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.
