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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
