Im pre-op and have been trying out Protein Shakes. Therein lies the problem. All the Protein shakes i have tried have left me uncomfortably full, headachy, and gassy. Is this what I have to look forward to?

Please help, i am discouraged. :unsure:

(I have tried muscle milk, lean muscle milk, lean shakes from GNC and whey 60 from GNC).

Thanks!

I am scheduled for my sleeve for Dec 19. Have you tried Unjury? They have about 5 flavors including an unflavored powder. The shake is a bit sweet for me so I add a little extra low fat milk. Unjury.com

Unjury chocolate Splendor is definitely one of the best Protein shakes!! It tastes like chocolate milk without that sweet/chemical taste.

Muscle Milk light - very convenient and taste good! They have regular muscle milk which has more sugar in it. I use Unjury as well, and is worth the mixing time as it tastes great and several flavors.

I use premeir Protein that is premade. I buy it at sam's. I get 12 for $18.00. It has been the only one I liked. It is just a long trial and error for us all I think! You will find one- Keep trying them until you find yours!

Hi, ask you doc but mine said that the gas is from swallowing air while we eat or drink and Gas-Ex stopped it right away. Also I buy the Protein shakest in powder form then make them in a blender with double the Water so they are not so heavy. I sip one over the course of an hour.

Bariatric Advantage shakes aren't too bad. I love the Iced Latte!! Also try Syntax nectar. Really like the lemonaid. Hope it helps, Ms Tink :)

I like Chike, banana or chocolate. They have a sample back. 28g Protein. It saved my life post-op because u can control the Water u put in&make it only 3 oz. I tried Atkins. I drank them preop. But 11oz would take me 3 hrs to drink.

I'll second the Premier Nutrition ready to drink shakes. They taste good and are a bargin at costco. I've had the chocolate and vanilla. They aren't super thick either. I had a sugar free shake (I think it was muscle milk) and I just about puked. Sour and chemical tasting. Drank part of one and tossed the other 3 in the package. Muscle milk light are okay, but not as good as the Premier.

shakes do have a lot of air in them when you first make them. Try letting it sit for a while so all the frothiness can settle down. I am enjoying Jay Robb Shakes. They are not the best tasting shakes out there... but they are sweetened with stevia and avoiding aspartame was important to me so I'll sacrifice a bit on flavor in order to get something better for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
