Special K Protein Water? Fiber?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if Special K Protein Water enhancers are okay to drink? It has 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of Fiber. If it is not okay, does anyone know a similar product that can add flavor and protein but not the thickness of shakes?

I don't know anything about Special K Protein Water (just watch the sugar, I know their shakes are loaded) but when I was first post op (and even now) I liked/like drinking Isoure Protein Water. It is similar to Gatorade in the sense that it comes in different flavors and the taste is similar but it is high protein, low sugar. I actually will drink 1/2 a bottle a day and cut it w/ G2 (half Isopure and 1/2 G2). Good luck!

They are OK to drink, but really not much Protein. Syntrax Nectar has a whole line of flavors with a water/juice consistency instead of a thick shake. 23g protein per scoop. I add my own fiber supplement to my Protein Drinks.< /p>

I use the Syntrax nectar. It is so much thinner than the regular Protein shakes. Here is the web site I order mine from. Also you can get 20.00 off your first order. https://www.bariatricchoice.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/113961/

They are all thinner like tea and lemonade. I like the fuzzy navel, Roadside Lemonade, chocolate truffle, and Cappuccino. I sometimes add crystal lite lemonade to the roadside lemonade. Then I mix the cappuccino with Decaf coffee and little skim milk. I have also mixed the chocolate truffle with decaf coffee and skim milk. These are my favorite flavors and gives me enough of a variety that I don't get bored with them. I did just order the lemon tea flavor. I have a friend that loves it. Hopes this helps.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
