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?

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'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.< /p>

I just tried the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >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?

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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
