Clear liquid & protein powders...

Hey guys,

I'm a bit confused on this... can you help me out.

During the "Clear liquid Phase", my docs instructions say "a high quality Protein supplement such as Isopure or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury should be used...."

So does that mean that any Protein powder used with Water instead of milk is fine? I've ordered some Unjury...but I don't see how it's different than say Chike or GNC's 100% whey. Can I use one of the flavored Whey Protein Powders with water and it be okay during Clear liquids phase?

Thanks!

My doc said any Protein powder is okay during the 1st week an dlater. But he recommended that I stick with ones labelled "100% whey isolate" because that type of protein is more completely absorbed by the body.

During the 2nd week, I started the EAS carb control shakes I can get at Walmart or Sam's Club.

Hey Rebecca.... I'm with you. Completely confused on getting proteins in the clear liquid stage. Still don't what to expect afterwards?

My doctor said that I could use my whey protein that I bought from GNC and mix it with water. He said to try it (sip, sip, sip) and if it does not cause a problem it would be fine. I had my sleeve on 5/20/13 and started the shakes today. So far, so good. I'm sipping every 5 minutes and it's going down fine.

I've been experimenting with different Protein shakes.....I just tried:

Scoop of vanilla EAS whey protein power

8 oz Silk light vanilla soy milk

A pinch of MIO orange/tangerine Water Enhancer

Put it in my Nutribullet

And OMG it's super duper YUMMY!! Like drinking a Dreamsicle milk shake!

i will start protein shakes tomorrow...my doc said the stuff like Unjury was better than GNC because of the sugar content.

That's what my NUT said the unjury products are high protein low carb low fat and low sugar and they taste good ... So I just hope I like it after surgery I got a few samples from my NUT & tried it & they are very good !!! So I pray I will be able to hold them in :)
