  • Im on EAS shakes. UGH. Counting down the days.

  • I've used shakeology in the past (not during my lapband process). I had to doctor it up a lot to tolerate it and it's pretty expensive. It didn't meet the requirements my nutritionist gave to me. An

I've found the Atkins shakes are tolerable for me as they have no soy. However, the downfall with At,ins is they only have 15 grams of Protein. I would like to have more. I think I might checkout the Isopure drinks. Worth a try I guess.

Ok I have been experimenting , made the shake drinkable with a tbs decaf instant coffee and some cocoa powder,

I love unjury shakes no aftertaste at all in my opinion. .. I do frozen peaches a lil cinnamon and yum peach cobbler

I saw a recipe on Pinterest where you use a Starbucks Iced Coffee mix packet, whey protein scoop and some chocolate powder. Sounded good but I haven't tried it. Although I did buy Chike (not click, I have that too!) and it's a vanilla latte with two shots of expresso! Yummy! I made it with almond milk. 20g of protein!

I called my Dr and it slim time or ensure with protein no other options so I will make the best of it , the Starbucks is a good idea though

My surgeons office also said to use bariatric advantage. I have found numerous flavorful recipes with the vanilla!

After trying click for 2 days pretty good but once I have surgery dr recommends unhurt so injury it is.

My nut has me starting my preop today. shakes I was told to use are the EAS shakes. I have had them before in the past and I remember they are tolerable. Any better suggestions. Are the premier ones comparable in Protein and calories? BTW if you live near a Publix the EAS ones are on sale this week

The Premier Protein shakes (I find them at Kroger) in chocolate are good compared to most others and they are 160 calories, 30 grams protein, 3 grams fat, 5 grams carbs (1 gram sugar). I also tried the Ensure high protein. For me, they had a yucky metallic aftertaste.

I tried the unjury chocolate splendor this morning and by itself it was okay and tolerable but then I Added a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder from trader joes And it was pretty good. Tomorrow I am going to try the vanilla and will let you know my thoughts. :-)

I am currently drinking the premier protein frosty chocolate and vanilla and they are so nasty! I had to drink them because I didn't get anything else before I started my preop diet but I just got my tub of Isopure unflavored powder in the mail today so I'm about to go to the store to get some frozen berries to mix it with! I'm also allowed sugar free pudding so I thought cheesecake or vanilla pudding would be good with it.

Was it the Premier powder you tried? What a shame! The Premier pre-mixed shakes are not bad--I have not tried the powder. Do try the pudding and a bit of fruit with it to see if that helps. Otherwise, try another brand. You will have trouble sticking to the diet if it makes you sick.

No it was the premixed ones lol I guess we all have different taste buds! I tried my unflavored isopure powder and it's MUCH better! I mixed it with frozen strawberries, peaches, and spinach and it's really good!

I like the chocolate classic from unjury not as sweet I don't think
