High amount of protein with low amount of calories. The higher your protein and the lower your calories, the more wt you will loose. Also if you work out protein helps build musle which helps burn fat. So even though they are not the most tasty thing. They do help. Also I put coffee in mine to take away the sweetness. Its like putting alot of creamer in your coffee just healthier.

Protein isn't optional for us. Our nourishment firstly comes from protein, veggies second, and carbs last (if there's even room). Your NUT should have given you a protein goal each day - I find mine is easier met through Protein Shakes. At some point in the future we're supposed to wean off of protein shakes and onto food only.

Hello all,

I am new to this site and am learning a lot set to have surgery next month. I wanted to get some clarification on the Proteins drink. I just saw that you posted the more Protein it is better and less calories. Does that apply to the total fat or over all calories. I am still learning and I want to know what to look for when shopping. I did see Isoplus, Lean body and muscle milk. What would be the best protein to but as well as ready to drink ones?

Thxs for your answers

I am 6 weeks post op today and my NUT and surgeon have set protein daily goal of 90 grams. It's impossible to get that much protein without the Protein drinks, but I find that I am getting a horrid aversion to the artificial sweetener taste in the protein drinks and am tending to go with the Soups. Your taste buds might be changing as you go through the process; the whole process seems very individually based.
