Shakes

[chad2rad 491]

Are there certain EAS shakes or products work best for your sleeve and nutritional needs? I see there are many?

powder, premade or both?

Seems like a good amount of protien. How long are u full on one?

Do we want high Fiber after surgery?

Other brands?

Thanks in advance!

EAS are my favorite!! Pre Sleeve I could drink nectar powder shakes and it was pretty good.

But post sleeve I could not handle the powder type shakes. They are kinda bulky and gritty.

I am able to use the ready to drink EAS with zero problems!! I adore the rich dark chocolate one. So much in fact.... I just got a big huge box shipped from Walmart.com of 10 cases of the 4-packs!! They have 17g of Protein,3 g of fat and only 6 carbs!! I drink one every morning at work and it keeps me good for about 4 hours!!

Thanks! Was wondering about powder grit

Your welcome! I even tried to " blenderize" my powder Protein shakes(stuck with tubs of powder) but to no avail, Sleeve knew it was powder!! LOL. It is hard to predict pre sleeve and post sleeve what you will tolerate!

I hear that the Premier RTD shakes from costco are pretty good also. They have 30g of protein!!

Are you pre op?

Hopefully, will have surgery early fall. Almost done with requirements in July. I am an RN, too.

OMG that's so cool! I went back to work after 3 weeks, man was I burnt!!

It's much better now at just over 2 months post op, sometimes all I have time for is my RTD shake and a bag of 100 calorie dry roasted almonds! Good luck to you!!

If you have a costco, the Premier are great. I haven't heard of anyone not liking them.
