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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
