My post op diet calls for all liquid protein--no powder shakes for the first 2 weeks. Are there any suggestions for liquid protein drinks/shots? I have noticed several posts on Syntrax but those are powders right? What about Pro Joe or Unjury? Any favorite flavors or other brands anyone can think of that are tasty?

My personal favorite ready to drink protein shake is Muscle Milk Light. Yum

Am i confused about this powder or ready made thing? My post op instructions specifically says no powders--liquids only. Well, after you mix the powder in something it is liquid lol! What is the difference here?

My favorite is the Premier Protein from Costco and SAMs. They taste the best to me and seem to be one of the most reasonable.

I think you should clarify with your doctor perhaps they want you on clear liquids that long although 2 weeks seems kind of long for clear liquids but I would ask.

My absolute favorite is Premier protein. Love it very cold, sometimes adding in decaf coffee

You can get Protec liquid protein from Amazon or Bariatric Advantage. Comes in 25 or 50 gram sizes and a bunch of flavors. I ordered the orange-pineapple flavor and mixed with Orange Crystal Light. It's in individual tubes so I could just stick it in my purse with a packet of Crystal Light and go.

Can taste a little vitaminy, but gives a nice energy lift.

I love isopure. 40g of good whey protein. They are 20 oz, which sometimes is a bit much, but it's a good start to my day.

Which flavored of isopure do you like?

I went to the Vitamin Shoppe yesterday, they have individual bottles of Isopure in different flavors. I only have to be on clear liquids for 1 week post op. I purchased the Unjury chicken soup, and the unflavored mix on their website. I'm gonna go back to the Vitamin Shoppe and get several flavors of the Isopure right before I leave for Mexico. (I don't know what the shelf life is so I don't want to stock up too soon). That way I'll have a variety of choices, hot and cold.

Thanks for all the great advice everyone. It's greatly appreciated!

Apple and the pineapple orange banana are probably my faves. I like them all but the blue one and I don't remember it's name.

Right now GNC is having a sale of by 2 get 1 free. I stocked up yesterday

Premier Protein shakes are wonderful! They have 30 grams of protein in 11 oz, low carb, low sugar and 160 calories. They taste like Chocolate Soldiers or Yoohoos. I get them at Sams Club.

I think it may be because when you shake your powder and milk/water you add air bubbles and maybe they don't want that messing with the healing

I love the blue ones mixed with crystal light lemonade! Looks like lime green. Very tastey. Also I like the coconut.I thought I'd hate it but love it! Grape frost isn't bad either. Personal choice I guess. I bought one of each and found what I liked. I fill my blender cup with ice and pour the isopure in and sip on it all day. ( I add more til bottle is gone.)
