Look at Click, it has espresso in it which I like. Not sure if you can have it in the pre op diet though, my doctor was ok with the caffine. Pre-op I mostly stayed on the Bariatric Advantage shakes as they are thicker and the Fiber in them made me feel fuller than other shakes I have since tried

EAS (Lean Version) also has a low calorie Protein powder I recently picked up from Target that had some Fiber.< /p>

I like the Zoic chocolate Protein Drink that I found at Big Lots.

The "gold standard" Protein for bariatric patients is "whey isolate protein", because it has all of the amino acids we need for proper nutrition on a bandster diet.

I have used the Wheybolic Extreme from GNC from the beginning of my journey. I'm sensitive to chemical tastes and aftertaste, and actually like these shakes in both the chocolate and Cookies 'n cream flavors.

As per my surgeon, each shake should provide you with a minimum of 20g of protein. The GNC powder (1.5 scoops) mixed with 8oz of 1% milk provides 37g of protein.

Get in the habit of reading the nutrition labels to make certain you know what ingredients are in the food you eat, and also if they provide the nutrition you need.

I really like the Unjury strawberry Sorbet mixed with light lemonade because it is nice and thin. Once the Protein dissolves it is just like strawberry lemonade. I also like to use bipro plain whey protein in my iced lattes in the morning. I don't even notice the Protein Powder anymore. I'm also a HUGE fan of the Unjury chocolate splendor. Sometimes I blend in a little Peanut Butter and its delicious! You can order both brands online.

Unjury tastes great. They are whey based which is milk Protein. They can all be mixed with non fat milk if you like. I mix the strawberry with light lemonade (I bet if mixed with milk it would taste like strawberry milk yum!) and the chocolate with milk. They aren't thick and they taste great!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
