Hi everyone! I'm scheduled to have my lap band surgery Monday 7/14. I am now on the pre-op diet and am supposed to drink 4 protein shakes every day. I can't even drink 1! I get so sick! All I do is gag! I've tried my best to drink them and I just can't. I called my doctor and they suggested other brands etc. I've tried 4 different ones now and I hate them all. Anyone else have this problem???

I have totally been there, I think most of us have. have you tried premiere Protein? they were all I could handle.

It's so frustrating! No, I haven't! I will check it out. Thank you.

Body Fortress whey from Walmart is pretty good. 8oz of milk 1 scoop of power and ice and blend away. chocolate and Peanut Butter chocolate is pretty good.

@@laur21 the Premier Protein is pretty good. Make it really cold and that helps. Don't smell it or over think it. If you like smoothies blend it up with some ice.

Once you are banded you are going to need to be on this diet probably for at least a few days if not a few weeks, so it helps to find something you like now because you don't want to be gagging on shakes or anything else after surgery.

There are some product like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury that have no flavor and you can mix them into you favorite beverage, though I have not tried them I hear good things about it.

Good luck let us know how it goes for you!

I will check that out. Is that protein isolate?

Your doctor should have recommended that you test shakes before so that you could find ones you like. I always recommend Unjury. Always. They offer a sample pack through their website and they have chicken broth protien powder which is a life saver when youth can't drink another sweet shake. Good luck. Feel better.

Hey there! I am on day 4 of my pre op diet. I 3 different shakes I use. 100%whey protein(cookies and cream with 6-8 oz of skim milk), premium protein(chocolate), and total lean by GNC(strawberry). I like the verity through out the day. It really helps me not get board of the flavors. I have one of each through out the day. The first day I felt kinda sick to my stomach. I worked through it. Now I'm feeling pretty good. Can drink all of them with no problem. Best of luck!
