I have a question about Protein drinks because on the preop diets they tell you to drink shakes and never mention the other Protein beverages like Isopure. Does it matter which ones you drink?

The Protein Drinks are good to help you reach your protein requirement and also counts as your water/liquid intake.

Right I get that part of it but I'm talking about the milky shakes versus the clear Isopure-style Protein Drinks. Is there a difference between those Protein Drinks nutrition wise? I'm going to email my nut and see.

I still take my shakes and follow the diet given. These just help me reach my protein and Water intake. I make freeze pops and Jello with this drink and then eat it as my snack.< /p>

Trader Joes

I am trying out Protein drinks before I am sleeved 10/22. I picked up 2 cans of prepared Protein drinks at a trader Joes and liked them. The chocolate has 35 grams of protein, 170 calories and 4 grams of carbs. The vanilla has 21 grams of protein, 4 grams of Fiber,and 110 calories. I don't know how it will taste to me after surgery bit now it is good.

Are those shakes or protein drinks. All the protein drinks I have seen are fruit flavored and zero carbs/sugar. I don't know about anyone else but some things do taste different to me. I can't stand taste/smell eggs now:( good luck with surgery. God Bless !!

These are called pure protein and they are like shakes. A serving is one can. You can check it out at www.eatgoodfeelgreat.com. That is their website and the shakes seem to be available at a number of stores.

I found Isopure Gel in a squeeze Pouch, and it's pretty good! It seems like it would be perfect for when I am too weak to chew/swallow post-op.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
