I'm going to be starting my pre-op liquid diet soon can anyone give me some brands of protein shakes to use and where to buy. Thank you

Pre-op I liked the Premiere Protein from Sams, Atkins shakes, GNC Lean shakes. I'm 10 days post-op and it has been so hard to get my protein in. They don't taste good to me and I can't get in all the fluids.

I recommend post-op, Sunkist protein shots. There are 2.5 oz shots with 24 grams protein and 3.2 oz shots with 42 grams protein. A little pricey but I think it's worth it. They come in orange, grape and fruit punch.

Thank you will try How did you make out with your surgery ? How's the weight loss?

Chocolate whey protein from Smoothie King 40 grams protein 2 carbs and 180 kcal. I mixed it with unsweetened almond milk it is awesome! I also add instant coffee to it since I was about a month out.

I had 1 week pre-op diet and I'm 10 days out and I've lost 25 pounds. So far so good! The first week is realy hard, so just be prepared. I only stayed one night in the hospital, but I should have stayed another night just for the adjustable bed and the good drugs . I'm still in some pain but not bad. I take pain meds at night just to get comfortable, but I plan to stop that soon. No nausea or vomiting (thank God!), my hospital gave me a patch behind my ear, nausea meds and a pressure point wrist thing so I'm sure that helped. They do that proactively so never felt sick. I'm on full liquids now and can move to soft foods in 4 days. Doing well, just get tired easy.

I use Unjury, which can be goten on the web. Fast shipping.

Where can you get these Sunkist protein shots?

I found them at Dierbergs (high end grocery store). Here is the company website: http://www.sunkistprotein.com/index.html

You can find them on Amazon too.

Thanks. I can't get in all the Protein I need in a day so maybe these will help. I'm just tired of the sweetness.

The Sunkist are sweet but tart at the same time. I'm not saying that they are yummy - but they aren't milk based and I don't have to force down as much to get the same protein content.

Does anyone ever take a RTD shake and blend it with say banana and ice and make a smoothie?

I use Unjury. They sell it at my drs office but I know you can order it online. I like it because they have an unflavored one. It really is unflavored. I can mix it with anything and never can taste it. Plus it's specifically for bariatric patients.

I've also been doing Muscle Milk which I really like and the Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt has 12g of protein in 1 serving

I agree with you completely. That is all I use and I just hope I still like it after surgery
