I am 4 days post op, i have tried 4 different whey shakes in the last 2 days. I can not stomach any of them. Is there another good substitute that can get in 20+ grams in quickly?

Have u tried the Ensure High Protein? They are pretty good. Or Premier protein shakes from Costco.

My doc told me to worry about liquids than protein that early. I am 4 weeks and still don't like the protein drinks. Once you get a little ways down the road if you like shrimp I bought a bag of cooked at walmart. It has 42 grams of protein for 6 oz. I wasn't a big shrimp eater before but it sure beats protein shakes. Good luck!

I love, love, love the Premier Shakes (30 grams). I hear the Ensure are good, but my NUT advised me to avoid them due to high sugar content.

Good luck!!

Have you tried Isopure non dairy drinks,Nectar Protein or unjury unflavored powder. I bought them all pre op and they aren't bad. I am sipping on isopure right now for my liquid diet.

How about fat-free Greek yogurt? Chobani is high in protein.

I'm not sure what you can have in your post-op shake. Im pre-op and didnt like the taste, so i jazzed it up a bit. ..8 oz skim milk, 1 scoop EAS vanilla soy protein mix, 1tbsp sugar free Hills Bros cappuccino-french vanilla, 1tble organic sugar free peanut butter and 1/4 banana, oh and a tblsp of milled flax...Low in calories and sugars and taste sooo good. Ive lost 9lbs in 7 days..Blend and enjoy!

You need to watch the soy protein. It isn't a good form of protein, its full of fillers. After surgery we need to concentrate on WHEY protein, that's the purest form. My doc says its Better than nothing but not to depend on it.

Interesting. My dietitian said that whey or soy isolate are the best. It's interesting the differences between different surgeons & dietitians.

It really is! I can't believe some of the differences!

the bariatric chicken soups and the proti-diet fruity drink mixes helped me.

I had the same problem!! I tried premier protein drinks, they worked well.

I'm currently trying hemp protien. It's the only plant protien that I have found that has all the amino acids your body needs. Most health food stores carry it. You do have to check the label and make sure you are getting 50%+ protien. It honestly doesn't taste as good as the shakes(it doesn't taste bad either), but it is the most complete non dairy protien I've found.
