Protien Shakes The Good The Bad The Ugly

[Pennie 66]

I just wanted to warn the pre-ops to not stock up too much on Protein shakes for your post-op life. I found my tastes REALLY changed after surgery. I don't know if this is due to being in ketosis or some hormonal change or what... but I do know that a lot of post-ops experience this too.

So what you like pre-surgery may not be what you like post-surgery.

Worse yet - sometimes your tastes don't change, but what your sleeve is willing to tolerate changes...I'm so glad I only purchased samples!

I am only purchasing samples at this time and I will continue until after surgery to purchase samples until I know what will work for me. Thanks for the heads up.

Just bought two big sample pouches that I will start on Sunday. I love injury chicken Soup and chocolate splendor. I hate the GNC lean but many have replied that they like it.

My NUT says that EAS ready to drink is misleading. She explains it well but it's something about the amino acids not being in the right combination so you only get 11 grams of Protein instead of what's listed. That may be why someone suggested adding a scoop of unflavored.
