Hello everyone, What brands and flavors of protein shakes do you use and like? I know we all have different tastes but, it would be interesting to know the brands that are most popular. Where did you purchase them?

Does anyone use Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder? I got it at Walmart. I really like the vanilla in skim milk. Hoping it's just as good after surgery <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I use body Fortress from Walmart. Hooked on vanilla cuz I add fruit to my shakes.

I used it before surgery but can't stand anything milky tasting since surgery. I now use Syntrax nectar strawberry kiwi and unjury chicken Soup

I've been using Gold Standard by Optimum Nutrition. They offer it at GNC although it is a little cheaper through Amazon. I get 5lb containers and its about $53 for 74 servings. I've had chocolate and strawberry so far but they have many many options. Each scoop is 24 grams of pure whey protein and I mix mine with 12 ounces (normally one scoop per 8 oz, I just like it with 12) of skim milk.

_{I was told to do instant breakfast no sugar added after surgery. I add Isopure to it.}

Does anyone have a problem with dumping from the sugar in Protein drinks?

Yes I do...I can't keep anything inside me at all. Surgery date was March 5, and so far have not found one Protein Drink that agrees me. Can't eat or drink anything at all. Lost almost 60lbs so far but that is from not eating or drinking. Needless to say I'm totally still in the buyers remorse stage. I don't know what to do to feel better.

i think they are amazing. the banana is my favorite.

and the strawberry tastes just like a think strawberry quik.

I found no carb Isopure works best for people with dumping issues. I just add sf toroni flavors to the vanilla to change it up.

I just bought Isopure zero alpine punch flavor. I must say it is pretty good. Not a fan of milky drinks. This reminds me of crystal light. Not too sweet.

I jus found GNC Pro Performance... 100% Soy Isolate ... 1 scoop has 25 g of protein. It was awesome... No taste! I put it in my iced tea... You can't taste or smell anything!

Why do we need these protein drinks?

Have you had surgery yet?

Why do we need these Protein drinks?

Protein is a major building block to repair your body and to survival. After surgery you are unable to eat large amounts of foods and shakes come in handy to help us get our protein. Everyone tries so many different ones because our bodies change after surgery. Like I can no longer drink any milk base items or anything with sugar alcohols in them or I dump. I also take a large amount of Vitamins as we that have had rny must..

Have you had surgery yet?

Haven't had my surgery yet.... Hoping first or 2nd week of July...

Anyway I talked to the nutritionist today and asked her about the protein.

She told me I had to get in 75g a day after surgery... She said the soy isolate protein ( has no taste) was great. She also told me I did not have to drink protein shakes forever... Only the weeks I'm on liquid, purée diet. She said they would much rather you get your protein from food. But some will not push themselves to eat so that's why they rather use the shakes.
