Ok, I'm sure there are about 100+ topics out there on this. I'm on day 1 of Clear liquids before my surgery on 2/22. I have never had Protein shakes before and the one I had today made me gag every sip. I need to hear your recommendations on some great recipes or brands. Again, I'm on the pre op clear liquid diet, so no fruit combinations. Any help would be much appreciated ;)

Thanks All

Ok, I am going to give it to you straight: :)

Yes, most of the bariatric Protein drinks are TERRIBLE! But I assure you I have found the one that tastes great! If you have a Sam's Club and/or costco in your town, head over there. They have Premier Protein shakes in chocolate and vanilla. They are truly amazing! They taste great!

12 premixed shakes for $18.88 at Sam's Club

I promise you and many others on this forum will tell you the same - they do not disappoint.

Good Luck and let me know what you think! :)

I really liked the Atkins shakes, but they don't have enough Protein in them. I've also done Ensure and Pure Protein. Both are good, or at least as good as it's going to get. LOL

I drink and really like the EAS high Protein and carb control shakes. strawberry and choc Carmel are my fav. You can get them at Walmart and most drug stores or grocery stores. Make sure you don't do the muscle building becaus wit has too many carbs.

These are pre made in small drink boxes. During the week I don't have a convenient place to make shakes so I go the easy route

I like the pure Protein shakes. 23 grams of Protein and only 6 carbs.

Yeah... They are good too and available at the grocery and Walmart. Plus, i like the bottle and screw off cap... Easy to drink.

Check the massive shake thread for recipes once you find a brand of shake that doesn't make you gag. I think I went through a dozen different kinds before I settled on one.

I make my own using some recipes from Eggface's blog. I couldn't stand any of the premade shakes and believe me when I say I tried them all. Premiere, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Atkins, Isopure, etc. Yuck.

There is a recipe for banana nut bread Protein shake, its amazing. I highly recommend it!

These sound fabulous!! Am I allowed to have these shakes on the post op liquid diet....even with all the fruit blended in? Sorry, it may be a dumb question....I just really want to follow the rules to a T. My dr. Office was closed and now I can't find out before Monday. Also, can I drink Zero Vitamin Water? It's not on the list....but it's see through and sugar free ;)

I'm on my preop diet too. Surgery is 2/26. I hate them ALL except the Premier Protein from costco. These are pretty good compared to the other ones. Only kind that hasn't made me gag yet. I'm heading there tomorrow to get some cases!!

You can have vit Water. I have tried so many protien powder. I like twin labs the best. Muscle milk is ok but I love the twin labs. Taste like chocolate milk. You can order indivual packets form vita coast

I like the premier brand also. But my absolute favorite is Total Lean from GNC. I actually love and enjoy them. I prefer vanilla and strawberry over chocolate which is strange because I prefer chocolate ice cream. I'm weird.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
