Protein Shakes

My surgery was done in Knoxville,TN and they have a New Life brand chocolate shake /pudding that I like. I only like the one in the packet not any of the bottled ones.

This is to everyone: after your surgery how long were you on liquids.?

I was on Clear Liquids for one week, then I was able to add Protein Shakes for another week before I went to purees. In regards to the original question, I ordered a sample pack of Syntrax Nectars from BJ's Bariatrics and just got them yesterday, I have tried the Cappucino and Double Stuffed Cookie and both are very yummy.

I also love the Chike chocolate bliss, I blend w Water and ice in Magic Bullet, put in coffee in AM and the website has some great recipes. I feel you, I wasted so much money and threw away so many. Also when you can eat, ibreatheimhungry.com has awesome recipes, ez too! Good luck!

PS: u must order online.

Chocolite makes yummy flavors and if u mix any with Fat Free milk WAY BETTER than Water......

Once u r on full liquids can you put fat free milk or soy milk in the shakes or is Water best? I love them with milk!

Thanks

Any recommendations? The ones I've tried suck' date=' I need at least some kind of flavor.[/quote']

I use EAS 100% whey Protein. I use vanilla creme and chocolate. Both are 26 grams of Protein. I use SF Almond milk or Lactaid milk. They taste pretty good. Sometimes I throw Greek yogurt in with my vanilla creme for extra protein.

You "can" use milk. I don't personally advocate it because I don't believe our bodies are designed to consume milk. And we tend to have so much other dairy in our diets.

I'd challenge you to find an alternative and develope some new tastes. I use unsweetened almond milk, I think it tastes great & is about the same price as milk. Plus it has way more Calcium than milk does.

Also almond milk doesn't increase the estrogen levels in your body like soy does.

Livebyfaith,

I was on liquids for 4 weeks. It was rough for the first 2 weeks but then you get use to it. Hang in there you will do great!
