I am having a hard time with Protein Drinks. The ones I have found don't taste the same way as before surgery. Any suggestions? I have been drinking Isopure.

Thanks for the tip.

Have you tried the Isopure zero carbs premade mango peach drinks. 20oz bottle w 40 g of Protein. What I do is 1/2 n 1/2 the drink to lighten up the taste. I use 10 oz of Water w 10oz of the protein. I love it this way and honestly it is the only way I can get my protein drinks in as well. Plus you're also getting water w it too. I don't recommend the green apple flavor at all. Tastes horrible even watered down. Alpine punch I would use again watered down. Those are the only ones I tried. Can be bought online or at GNC stores.

It's clear and thin' date=' not chalky or milky. Not bad at all, especially poured over ice from sonic so it's super cold.[/quote']

Where is it sold?

[ready2smile 138]

I am pre op' date=' but I got the Bari bowl package from BariWare which is pre portioned for us. I also have personal soft coolers and blender cups so I can carry stuff to much on. As needed and Water bottles specially made to not give us air bubbles. When I do go back to work I should be prepared. The others on here and on other sites stress meal planning. I also copied and pasted a bunch of cupcake meal recipes and wrap recipes from worldaccordingtoeggface.com and another site mentioned under what ya eating tonight thread...

I tried the premade chocolate Premier Protein shakes from Sam's (they sell them at costco too). They're good, rich and not chalky, 160 cal for 30g of protein and 11oz liquid. I also take a bottle Water, mix in an orange crystal light (or target/wal-mart brand) with a scoop of vanilla whey Protein Powder from GNC. Tastes a lot like a lighter version of an orange juilious or orangesicle ice cream bar. Can even add ice if you like. It's 140 cals, 16.9oz liquid and 20g of protein.

i had my surgery on January 30th as well. How are you feeling? How is your weight loss going? I am so happy that I did this. Did you have RNY?

Feeling alot better now, it was rough at first I was in a lot of pain for the first few weeks. I did end up going back to my surgeon, he explain that I was having muscle spasms and prescribe a muscle relaxer and gave me a binder and it's working. So far I've lost 27lbs and I did go with the RNY. I agree with you this was one of the best decision I've made!!!

I bought a belly binder a few days out and it really did make all the difference for me. I am now pain free, thank goodness. I have not lost that much weight but I am hopeful that I will keep on a steady track of weight loss. Good luck and we should touch base again and see where we are at.
