I bought the Isopure clear Protein drinks and drink on them all day. I Water them down. For a meal I like the Matrix kind. I mix with almond milk. Taste like a malt but not as thick. Yummy.

My favorite is EAS Advant Edge carb control chocolate fudge flavor it comes already mixed; I can not tolerate the mess you have to mix up yourself.

I drank the premier Protein Shakes from SAMs club they taste good are low in carbs and 30 grams of Protein per shake . They come in boxes of 16 I think and they are inexpensive. There is a coupon at SAMs club this week thru July 21st for 4 dollars off and I think they are around 14.99 a case. Also at GNC their brand of Protein powder Cookies n cream and banana taste good also and they have a special sometimes. Buy one get one. Buy the shaker container with the little metal ball to mix it good. Now after your procedure milk like products like the premiere may be hard to get down. But give it some time you will be able to drink them again.

I had pressure in my chest, too after surgery a week though. I was told its the hematoma caused in surgery that was between my pancreas and stomach. Also I read on other threads that's its gas. Either case tell ur doc. Hang in there , it does get better.

The premier is good. Not a big fan of the chocolate, it's a little watery in taste, to me.

I agree but..the key is the high amount of Protein with the low amount of carbs which for me was a key factor in getting my weight down.

Can u recommend a high Protein Shake that isn't milk based? I could tolerate the premiere for about a week before my lactose problem kicked in.

Muscle Milk.... Lactose/milk free and good

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
