Day 3 of Pre-Op Diet - Shake suggestions?

Finishing up Day 3 of my Pre-Op Diet (11 more to go until surgery!)

My doctor's pre-op diet guidance is

  • 1 low-carb yogurt (I've been having fage 0% with a packet of truvia)
  • 1 cup of skim milk
  • 4 Protein shakes / day (1 of which I can have with sugar free pudding)
  • Unlimited calorie free drinks + sugar free Jello + popsicles
  • No caffeine, carbonation

Caffeine headaches have finally subsided and I am rocking caffeine free living.

Unfortunately I hate my Protein Shakes. Hate them. Bariatric Advantage high protein. Vomit. I feel like I've tried everything including mixing with pudding and nothing works.

I'm thinking about picking up a store brand shake (allowed as long as it has 20+ grams of protein, limited carbs and <150 calories) Any suggestions? I'm dying over here.

Muscle milk has the best i don tried every flavor n settled for my one n only cake bater akins has some but its low in lrotein muscle milk u shud try high Protein

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

I really like the Atkins advantage. I'm addicted to the mocha latte shake. It's 15g protein, 1g sugar, 160 calories and 2g net carbs. I tried the muscle milk... Vomit. I also tried EAS and the strawberry wasn't bad but overall the advantage ones are the best. I also had syntax double cookie and its way to watery. Yuck. I lost 13 pounds by doing the Atkins for 14 days. At least try it, you can buy them in a 4 pack for 5.99 and if you hate them, throw it away and you haven't wasted a lot of money.

Try unjury protein shakes. They can only be ordered online but the chocolate tastes like chocolate milk! :-)

Just an FYI, but the Atkins Advantage website has a coupon for the shakes and you can get 3 bars free for signing up.

Remember about protein drinks, like Syntrax Nectar.

I like the road side lemonade mixed with crystsl light.

23grams protein!!!

I mix 1 scoop Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade with one packet of Crystal light lemonade on the go and 1 cup of water. Tastes very refreshing! I bet even better with blended ice.

Lol Banjo!

Where do you get the Nectar from? Online only?

I like Body by Fortress in Chocolate or Chocolate peanut butter. It has 52gms of whey protien and taste gd.

WalMart $14.98 Its a pretty big size
