Hi! Surgery is tomorrow, quite excited I must say with a little nervousness! Does anyone have any suggestions to Protein Shakes? I have tried just about all of them and can not drink them. Suggestions?

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury? I ordered a sampler and really enjoyed their chocolate supreme. I am in process of trying out the Protein powders to see which I like for when I have my surgery. It's not sold in stores, I've heard that some doctors have it in their office, but you came buy it right from the company at www.unjury.com.

I to like Unjury Protein Powder. They have all sorts of flavors. I don't just do a shake, I make a smoothie. Yogert,milk,protein powder, and a little fruit in a blender. Or use the unflavored in whatever you like. When I use the unflavored in something I can tell there is something there but it's not a bad taste. I have even put unflavored in my coffee, Soup, Jello, and pudding. Hope this helps...

dont go all out with the Protein Shakes, get some muscle milk light and call it a day. it works great, tastes... sorta good (better than others) and at only 100 calories per shake its fantastic.

I couldn't stomach any of the Protein Shakes i tried...they were soo nasty and if i managed to chug them it made my stomach upset...after talking to my dietician she recommended fruit juice Protein drinks..they still taste a little funny to me but it was a huge difference when compared to anything milky. The ones i bought are Isopure brand. Hope that helps =)

Have you tried the Syntrax Nectars? They have a slew of flavors and I have enjoyed them all. I'm drinking one now called "sweet tea" and it's just like sweet tea. You can order them from their site or at Amazon.com.< /p>

I really enjoy the Any whey Protein powder, no taste. I mix it with sf choc carnation instant Breakfast for 29 g of protein. It tastes great!!!! I believe you can get Any Whey in GNC's, I get mine from my docs office. Make sure it is "Any Whey".

Hi Leepfrog,

I was banded on 8/12/2011 and I, too, was nervous and excited all at the same time. I am 5 days post-op and it has not been too terribly bad just soreness and a little pain when sitting up too long. I've been using this Protein shake that I got from the clinic I had my banding. It is true results Protein Shake - strawberry. I like it quite a bit. I think that you just have to find one that you like to drink so you will be consistent in drinking it.

I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow and despite how you may initially feel; it does get better and I am down 10lbs. so.... stay encouraged and focus.

Toni

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
