I'd place it firmly in the "acceptable" category.

Disclaimer: not for the lactose intolerant.

So which one do you think is best. The salesman tried to get me to buy Promasil. I was skeptical cause I would like to taste it first. It was zero carbs and 20G Protein but it was like $60.00. Way to much if I don't like it

What I like to do for my shakes is mix 1 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder, 1 low carb yogurt (I use the carb master from Kroger), and coconut milk. I mix this up in a blender ball cup and take it with me...it is so quick and easy.

Just curious...you know a lot and give good advice. I'm 11 weeks post-op and sick of my Protein drinks. Is it okay to eat met-rx Protein plus bars? The one I've been eating (creamy Peanut Butter crisp) has 310 calories' date=' 30 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar[/quote']

Really, Protein Bars are best if used as a last resort. They are pretty high calorie & tend to have lots of carbs too. In essence a candy bar with protein.

The protein matrix in these bars is a good one though.

I'd say if they were limited to a couple times a week, or if you were exercising heavily then they're ok. But for most of us, they just don't add up.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Where did you find it? I too have been experimenting with different flavored and can only stand the chocolate whey Protein by Body Fortress (Wal Mart). The EAS powder vanilla flavor was disgusting. I have yet to order the unjury. I think I will do that today.

Hey sweet tea let me know how the Unjury taste. I have been contemplating whether to order that also. I heard the chicken Soup is great but I haven't heard a lot about the Protein shakes.

I'd recommend ordering a sample pack from Unjury. It comes with2 servings of each flavor.

I love their chocolate splendor, & chicken Soup. I was using their unflavored till Cheri(clk) introduced me to Nectar's medical unflavored.

I like the body fortress chocolate Peanut Butter. I tried the GNC brand but it upset my stomach (post op). The chocolate peanut butter tastes better if you blend it with some ice to make it like an ice cream shake. I am having problems tolerating any Protein Shakes post op. pre op I just drank quickly. Can't do that anymore. I did not like the Isopure GNC one that came premixed in the bottle....had a very nasty smell and after taste. I have tried the premier chocolate shakes and those are ok. Good luck to you.

So far I liked Jay Robb, it's on sale at GNC until 2/23(I think) but if you go to the website they have a sample pack they can send you. It's about $14

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
