I was told I will need to supplement with protein drinks. I am just wondering what are some of the best drinks out there? Tastewise, moneywise, and amount of protein. Opinions please!!

Since before my lapband surgery and preparing for surgery Ive always drank costco Premier Protein chocolate shake. It gives you, 60 grams of protein with only 160 calories. My doctor doesnt want me to drink those and eat food types to replace them. But its hard to replace them when you work different hours and can not take a lunch break. I have a small refridgerator in my office filled with lowfat Greek yogurt cups, sugar free jellos and Protein shakes.

Best wishes and keep the faith.

I really loved my protein shakes pre-op but now I have no interest in them. Thinking of trying to fit one in, particularly if I'm getting the five o'clock hungries.....and we have so much fruit in our freezer. Maybe this is a good way to get more fiber, etc.

I used EAS recovery protein from walmart and boost calorie smart. The EAS has 20 grams and it really tastes horrible mixed with water, but I have now started mixing it in my yogurt shake each morning and it is good. The boost calorie smart has 16 grams and is pretty good as long as it is cold. Both are chocolate. I have not tried either in other flavors. The prices are reasonable also.

Unfortunately, what tastes good to some, won't taste good to others, so, you may have to shop around for what you like. I like from GNC bpi sports Weight loss premium Protein (whey )vanilla cream.I have this in the am with a banana and strawberry. This smoothie tides me over until afternoon. My surgeon doesn't have a problem with drinking a protein smoothie and many other folks do too! Karen..aka..kll724

I just recently picked up some GNC whey, chocolate supreme and it tastes good and makes a really think shake which keeps me satisfied longer.
