Any suggestions for liquid protein--no powders?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
