I hate the smell of the protein shakes has anyone tired a substitue or something else. I was wondering is the special K protein shakes just as good. I am 5 days til surgery really need advice.

I get the bolthouse brand from Whole Foods. 30 grams and a few different favors... Including mango

The chocolate Premier shakes from Costco are pretty good.

we dont have a COSTCO here Baton Rouge.

You can also get them at SAMs club!

They are also available on Amazon but are more expensive.

I use Premiere Chocolate and I LOVE Muscle Milk Strawberry. The others (Special K; Atkins etc) will not give you enough protein.

The Special K ones don't have nearly as much protein as you might get from other choices and it can be difficult in the beginning to meet your protein needs. Isopure which is a clear protein comes in ready to drink 20 oz bottles with 40 grams of protein the grape and orange flavors are ok. Pure protein has 25 grams of protein for each can, or the powder which is mixed with water or milk (for more protein). Later on you can add protein bars and you will get much more protein in normal foods but that is after 6 weeks. EAS carb control ready to drink is pretty good, and has 17 grams of protein. You just have to try a few different kinds and write it out to see what will total up to 65+ grams of protein per day.

Make sure you check the sugar content if you try the Special K ones...
