I am going to have surgery on Feb. 24th and have been planning out & shopping for my post needs. I found a great tasting, easy to drink Protein drink called Protein Ice by Advanced Nutrient Science. It comes in a 20oz bottle and here are the Nutritional Facts:

Calories: 170

Fat: 0

Carbs: 0

Sugars: 0

Protein: 42g

Lactose Free

Gluten Free

Comes in 5 different flavors!!!

FYI ... the GNC Store near my house is sold out.

Hi, My surgery is Feb 22,2014. I noticed that you are having your surgery in Mexico. I am having my sleeve done in Tijuana, are you as nervous as I am? Was this protein drink recommended by your doctor? and is it exclusive to GNC?

Yes I am very nervous. I have made every con into an excuse not to go through it. But I know it will be good for me. This protein was not recommended by anybody and I plan on using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury for the 1st 2 weeks after surgery which is recommended by Dr. Aceves. It is available through other sources online. I just happen to have a GNC across the street from were I live. Good luck with your surgery.

Thanks for the post! I've been on this forum since last October, and this is the first I've heard of Protein Ice.

It sounds too good to be true, but so far I don't see any down side. The types of protein in the drink, as listed on the company's web site (http://www.a1supplements.com/Protein-Ice-20-Oz.-12-Bottles-p-21370.html), are whey protein isolate and enzymatic hydrolyzed protein isolate.

Whey protein is a by-product of cheese production. It is easily digested and very useful for WLS patients.

From the little research I've done so far, enzymatic hydrolyzed protein isolate is a vague term that could mean protein from whey, casein, soy or some other source -- so it could be usable by the body or or not. (Not-usable sources include protein from shark cartilage, which apparently is not harmful but it isn't useful either.) Unfortunately, what I've read so far on their site doesn't say what percent of the protein in the drink comes from whey.

The reason this is important to me is that I avoid all forms of soy, because it plays havoc with my body's thermostat. When I consume soy I get way too hot - not hot flashes, just generally too hot most of the time until the soy is out of my body. It's unfortunate for me, because soy is an excellent source of high-quality protein.

There are other types of protein, and I am not an expert about any of them. I just know what has worked for me so far on this journey.

If anyone has or can find details about the enzymatic hydrolyzed protein isolate in Protein Ice, I would like to know.

Thank you for all the research. I really like the taste so it makes it easy to use for a Meal Replacement.

Have u tried Isopure? Sounds similar...??
