Yuck!

[Tink22-sleeve 528]

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.

(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 posted some info u might be interested in.

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.
