Hello Jenniferhm,

I think Ready-to-Drink Isopure Plus 0 Carb Protein Drink is the one I am going to use.

I am pre-op, but had used Protein shakes with Nutrisystem, and started using a powder called Muscle Milk (light), you can adjust accordly your preference for amount to calculate the Protein added to each drink. You use a blender, can add Water or skim and fat free milk to it. I also add many things of whcih I am not certain I would use right away and need your consideration for the extra few calories, a low amount of calories usually but adds up some more into the whole thing.

I use sugar free flavoring called Devinci, I chose banana and the Muscle milk light is banana creme. Muscle milk comes in full ready to use drink too though. The Devinci sugar free flavoring masks flavor of things I might add when I want a healthy drink.

Some additives I use are, Bee Polen, Organic Raw Honey, Acai powder, goji berry powder, Turmeric, Amazing Grass powder, Maca powder and there are more. I do not put all of them at once that I purchased, just for a healthy drink to add a good boost.

I buy from Amazon and a few sites for the powders that are exclusively healthy and organic content sites. If you search Amazon.com you can see a varried choice of what some one my tell you to get and of other stuff there with a fair price, also GNC,com. I know there are sites exclusive to this and others too, these will have protein powdered drinks and alike, and more too though.

I have yet to know my exact plans for the newer version of my drinks but it may be very simlar and then just lesser portioned at some time when I am through first phazes.

Hope you do well with your choice when you find what you'd like most to do for now and later on too. Sorry if I am an overload of info for uses elsewhere.

My favorite Protein Drink thus far -- I was sleeved nov. 6th -- is the Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade flavor. Very good and has 23 grams of Protein. I mix one package with 16 oz of Water.< /p>

I had the surgery Nov 1st...and I too have a hard time with the Protein shakes...I couldn't find one that agreed with me or that I liked...tried a whole bunch (ordered from Amazon)- then I remembered the shake that my trainer recommended..Body by Vi....it is delicious and has the same nutritional requirements as all the others (I checked with my dietician). It is like cake batter...and you mix with skim milk not Water..so tastier.....this morning was the first time I got my full 4 oz of a shake down.

Also, if you have an Iphone...the shake has an app....so when you can start adding things..this app helps....delicious! It is also less expensive than the others.

If you are interested let me know.

Hi again, this Post is helping me, glad I saw this.

tparkerc59 I am going for that, people talked the same of Syntrax nectar, I am glad you added the flavor you'd prefered and its going to be my trial start to see wahts this like now.

JenniferCS See yours to be most interesting, looked into Body by Vi at Amazon an had seen various formulas and flavors, Whats yor take on better and best tasting choice there ?

Mine tastes real good, but not so much as when I leave the adding simple and less, in its normal state its great compared to the stuff that came with my Mail ordered boxed pre-packs.

Thanks

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
