Hi, I am 3 months post-op and I lost 40lbs so far. I haven't tried that many shakes yet but I am looking for a shake with the most protein/not that many calories per serving?

I LOVE The Premium shakes from Costco/Sams club. They are 30Grams Protein I believe and under 200 calories. They are SUPER delicious. They have chocolate and vanilla. I love to add cinnamon to the vanilla, tastes like rice pudding.

They are a reasonable price too!

I second above, I haven't had surgery yet but have started the Premium Protein Shakes from Sam's club and they are really delicious:)

Your body can only absorb about 30g protein at a time. You won't want to go much higher than that or you will waste the protein.

I agree premier protein RTD shakes, 30 grams of protein 160 calories and very easy to drink. I get them at bj's and Costco.

I agree also with Premier...but I do use "Unjury" (only bought on-line) because of the chicken soup flavor, 20 grams (powered) but add milk (8grams) to it for cream of chicken soup and later on I can add real chicken & veggies....about 100 calories with water..and its really good...they also have unflavored....

About Time All Natural Mocha Mint is really good (they have other flavors too, like Birthday Cake, Chocolate, & Cinnamon Swirl but Mocha Mint is my favorite). Make with 8 oz. Hood Calorie Countdown nonfat milk and you get:

30 g protein

135 calories

5 g carbs

55% of your RDA of calcium.

if you are not having issues, you should be OK with any shake over about 20 g for 8 oz. (you should be drinking as much liquid as you can, so as long as the calories are reasonable you should be ok - but really, truly, truly, be good to yuor body in this process. it cannot do it on protien alone!

Your body can only absorb about 30g Protein at a time. You won't want to go much higher than that or you will waste the protein.

So you're saying if I take the whey protein that's 60g a serving will not be beneficial?

Syntax nectar is a good one ...I get wild cherry and mix it with cherry lime aid sugar free kool aid it tastes like a cherry slushie and its about 120 calories 0 carbs!!!

Yes, the rest will go to waste. I sent an email to a nutritionist about what is a time frame. Is it every 4hr your body can use 30gr, or a shorter time period.

Syntrax Nectar has some good flavors. My favorite right now (Pre sleeve) is Cappuccino. They also have an unflavored that, in my opinion, is more "unflavored" than Unjury. But Unjury chicken soup flavored is awesome.
