Day 11 Post-op

I am on full liquids for 21 days post op so it could be worse I have 6 more days to go.

you should try Boost! I like the best out of the all the protein shakes..

i was told no boost or or ensure cause its high in calories. do you have aanywhere that sells ideal protein its a diet company that makes soup and drinks that are low carb low fat and high protein about 15 to 20 gm of protein per soup. also walmart has a protein shot that has 39g of protein it is kind of like a sour fruit punch but you could mix it with crystal light it is about 2 oz so it isnt that hard to get down. i couldnt do proetin shakes i dont like the texture or taste but anyway visalus is a good shake if you can it also has all your vitamins in it.

I use the shot protein and it works very well, and it comes in a ton of flavors. these are the ones I use: Super Protein Shot 26gm protein, New Whey liquid protein 42gm, and Profect protein supplement 25gm.

They are a a bit sour but a lot easier to go down, flavors make a difference my favorites are blue raspberry, fruit punch, and passion fruit.

ensure has a dietbetic counter part with protein no sure of the name.

OMG! I've never heard of a shot of protein, but I kind of think it is genius! Sounds so much easier than a shake! Thanks guys!

I have been told by other posters that the protein shots Char mentioned should not be taken because they contain collagen. I have only been able to find one company that sells protein shots made for bariatric patients with 42gm per serving.

I think it only comes in a few choices, but I figured I could put the Lemon-Lime or Watermelon in a Crystal Light Lemonade.

These are my favorite...35 grams of protein, 110 calories, and 1 gram of sugar. I was so sick of the protein powder and the thickness of it, these have been a lifesaver.
