I was told to go out and try to do protein shakes so that when the time comes I will know what I like. I went out and bought the Body Fortress Cookies and Cream flavored protein powder. I like it, but I am not sure I can do it for two solid weeks. Any suggestions?

Isopure in the glass bottles. They have 40g of protein for a 20 oz bottle. Different flavors and not a SHAKE. They are like gatorade that are premade and can be sipped on throughout the day. You can get them at GNC and on line. Good luck.

You said you can drink that throughout the day, does it keep you full?

Try to alternate flavors--maybe something fruity? Unjury makes a chicken soup flavored protein that is a nice alternative to the sweet ones. I could not choke down the Isopures at all but I had good luck with Premier Protein from Costco.

Sorry I haven't had my surgery yet. I have spent tons of money trying all sorts of shakes. The Isopure was the only thing I could find that I liked. Not sure if it will keep us full until I have my surgery. I'm just glad that I found something that was not a shake. My surgery is scheduled on the 9th. Yippeeee!

Does the unflavored protein dissolve into whatever drink you add it to? How do those work? I hate milk and anything that resembles a milky substance so shakes are not my thing. I've tried the body fortress shots from Walmart and for 26g's of protein they're great....but disgusting!! I'm going to order the unjury broth this week but was wondering about the unflavored protein.

I have struggled with trying to find a shake that I liked also. But a friend of mine suggested I try the Lean Shakes ( GNC store brand). They are great!!! Not thick like a lot if the pre-made ones!! I even put them in freezer to get them "slushy". They ALMOST taste like a Frosty from Wendy's!!!! Delicious!!!!! Good luck...

Is that all you drink throughout the day

Right now I am 2 weeks from surgery happening and my doc wants me to drink 2 shakes a day and one reasonable meal. After surgery I will be on the 60/60/60 routine....60 ounces of sugar-free clear liquid, 60 grams of protein and 60 minutes of wAlking a day.

I am four months post op and I order protein shots off the Internet called Proslam 27... It is what I was given at the hospital. They still have that whey taste but are wayyyyyy better than the ones from Walmart. I have one a day to hit my protein mark.

Please keep me posted on how you do

I'm currently 1/2 way thru my 2 week liquid diet and found Met-Rx shakes on-line. I have 3 a day...it has not been an easy week however I have not been hungry. The shakes defiantly keep you full and satisfied and they do not taste too bad. They have Chocolate and Berry Blast I have both. They are much better to me when i put extra water so they are not so thick. I also have mixed them for some sort of variety. I have missed "eating" this week but I will keep on keeping on because the end result is what I will be most happy about. VSG Scheduled for March 14th.

Everyone's taste for Protein drinks are different. Also, what you like pre-op, you may hate post-op because your taste buds may change. I used to love a particular Protein powder and I used it for years prior to surgery. Once I had surgery and moved to full liquids I was so excited to be able to have it again....but I hated it, and still do four months later. If you are required to do a pre-op liquid diet then find one you like now. Then once you have surgery try out several different kinds. I drink Premier Protein ready to drink (from Costco) and Syntrax nectar Cappuccino.

About Isopure Zero...I was forced to drink it while in the hospital and I got TOTALLY sick of it....it leaves a protein aftertaste in my mouth. Yes, it's 40 grams of protein but that's for 20 oz. Ounce for ounce, the protein content is not that great. Most whey protein powders are 25 grams per scoop mixed with 8 oz of liquid. Once I got home from the hospital, I used the Isopure unflavored powder and mixed it with chicken broth, Crystal Light and Mio.

Are you exercising as well? Do you have energy to do so?

Best I have found by far are called PREMIER PROTEIN. You can get them at any costco or online too I believe. They come in CHOCOLATE, VANILLA, AND STRAWBERRY. They have 30g of protein and 160calories. I truthfully think they taste great and are filling. You can drink them straight or I like to do them over ice or even blended with ice from something really cold when it gets warm outside. Also compared to many others I find these to be quite affordable (especially compared to the late night fast food stops I used to be doing). They are sold in 18 packs and about $25 each. Hope this helps.
