Hi everyone- I haven't scheduled my surgery yet, but I am "shopping" around for whey Protein isolate shakes. I was hoping someone could recommend one for me! Thanks!

Syntrax's nectar line & powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury are the best. What criteria are you looking at? Best taste, price, highest quality?

I like the Lean Shakes from GNC. They don't taste so protein shakey....

Thanks for the reply O.T.R.- I guess taste and price, in that order. They have Bariatric Advantage at my NUT's office, and it tastes ok, but it's $70. I was just hoping to find one a little more affordable.

I like the Syntax Nectars. I get a 2 lb canister for about $37 through nashuanutrition.com.

I'd recommend getting sample packs from everybody you can. Syntrax offers a one time sample pack for 13 including shipping. 866-333-7403

Then once you find the flavors you like, I order mine on amazon for $32 for a 2lb tub and it ships amazon prime.

Thanks again! I'll give them a try!

I LOVE Chike chocolate!

I'm with OTR on this. Syntrax's nectar and unjury seemed to be the best for me. Closely following this is Jay Robb, which is made from egg white protein.

I just tried the unjury chocolate Splendor and it was delish!! My NUT told me to only drink whey or soy Protein ISOLATE and NO protein concentrates. Has anyone else been told this as well?

I am addicted to the GLADIATOR protein shake from Smoothie King. I get the strawberry powder and mix with passionfruit and kiwi juice. DELICIOUS!

Your NUT is giving you very good advice. Whey protein isolate eliminates all lactose. Since lactose intolerance is much more common this is beneficial. Additionally micro filtered whey (unjury & nectar) are more quickly absorbed.

Thanks OTR- BTW- I have heard that the isolate protein really helps with shrinking the liver prior to surgery. Have you heard of this as well?

Haven't heard that specifically, but it does make some sense, the protein will help keep you satiated so you are less tempted to eat high fat foods.

I would wait until after your surgery to buy large quantities of protein. After my surgery, the protein that I bought before my surgery I could not stomach so be careful what you buy, because your tastes may change. I could not stand anything orange flavored, especially the orange flavored calcium citrate.Disgusting.
