I have a question for everyone. What kind of Protein powder did you drink pre-op and during your liquid post-op period. I know we are supposed to have a lot of protein, so I'm just wondering what everyone used. I have no idea what to look for as far as taste, amount of protein, etc.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I have ordered some of the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury samples, but I haven't tried them yet. I am sure gonna check into the others you guys mentioned. I am trying to find my favorites before surgery so I will be ready. Thanks again for all the help.

I just got my first order from unjury this is how I used one of the chocolate packs:

1 pack chocolate unjury

1 container light vanilla yogurt

1 container (fill the above container with 1/2% milk)

1 container of chipped ice

2 packs splenda

Pulsed blender with all the above in it. VERY GOOD

I am going to try the vanilla and strawberry in somewhat the same way.

I love the unjury and ordered full containers after trying the samples. I'm going to pick up some Isopure at GNC tomorrow as I think the samples I got from Vitalady had the wrong instructions of mix (they said it was a full serving, but it only mixed with 4 oz of water). The Unjury chicken broth is surprisingly good and I plan on taking that for the plane trip to and from Mexico.

I got some of the Atkins RTD last night and had it for Breakfast and I'm still full 4 hours later

Just purchased Muscle Milk Light from GNC. I hesitated to purchase a big container and then hate it! The Vanilla Cream is good! Shook it up with some skim milk and now I'm getting my extra pre-band protein and it tastes good.

I really liked the sample strawberry from unjury.

I also just purchased a "sample" pack of 15 different protein mixes from bariatriceating.com.

It also includes a drink shaker. It cost $26.00, I'm sure it will be worth it, then I'll know what I do and don't like. The Nectar fruit flavors sound good, any one tried these yet?

I have purchased about 20 samples from bariatriceating.com, some of the Unjury, and some samples from somewhere else because I thought I was going to have my surgery this month, but now I'm not going to get to have it for a year. But, I'm trying to drink 2 protein drinks per day and eat one good meal. I've lost 7 lbs in the past week, so it's working very well without the band for now. My cardiologist said I could lose the weight without the surgery in a year if I worked at it. However, we all know how easy that will be, NOT!

Isn't there some kind of protein powder I can get that I can just put food or soups? I don't like milk or yogart.

I use Now whey Protein Isolate 100% Pure Natural Unfavored

It will dissolve easily in any thing and has no taste I mix mine in my carnation instant breakfast or chicken broth the carnation instant breakfast are different flavors so it works well. there is 25 grams of protein per scoop. The isolate protein is the purist and best form but is more expensive. I ordered 5 lbs on line from http://www.nutritiongeeks.com/whey-p...olate-now.html It is 81 scoops and cost about $41.00 with the shipping it is also avalable in 1lb for less. My dietitian told me to take 1 scoop per day but to spread it out though the day. She said it is something you should take for life.The price isn't bad considering it last about 2 1/2 months.

i use whey vanilla protein powder and add it to 1% milk which i think ill try skim milk and it taste great but if you add a few strawberries its awesome. the powder has 23 grams of protein but one scoop is a lot.
