Best Liquid Meal Replacement/Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

My liquid diet time is coming up. 10 days before, 6-8 weeks afterwards. I'm going to be on liquid meals for a long time, and I have started a chart comparing them on my computer. Any suggestions for me to try?

I think my thread is maybe out of place, would a moderator fix it? I didn't look at the food forum before I posted it.

I know I've said this before but I use EAS. By itself it's not the best, but not the worst either.

I mix the following together to get a good shake...

chocolate EAS with 1/2 cup 1% milk and 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt. Add 2 teaspoons of Peanut Butter

Chocolate EAS with 1 cup 1% milk and 2 to 4 teaspoons of fat free cream cheese

Chocolate EAS with 1 cup 1% milk 1/2 to 1 teaspoon instant cappucino or hot chocolate mix

Vanilla EAS with 1 cup 1% milk or 1/2 and 1/2 milk and yogurt mix with your favorite frozen or fresh fruit and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, almond, coconut flavoring.

Just experiment with your goodies. You'll find something that will get you going and taste great!

I had to be on liquid diet two weeks pre-op and two weeks post-op...I drank slim fast (optima) it really does curb your appetite....I started out drinking 3 or 4 a day until day 3 and then I dropped a slim fast and replaced with a small green salad(this is allowed by my doctor)this is before the surgery...after the surgery, I didn't want anything to eat...I still drank the slim fast, just small amounts at a time...

Probably because Boost and Ensure are also used for people who don't eat anything at all. Tube feedings and such and the calories are not great at all.

I've never tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but from what I read, most like it. Are you mixing it with Water or something like OJ?

Unjury is excellent....if you have the non flavored mix it with whatever drink you like...i usually use oj in am for Breakfast and crystal light in the afternoon.

It is by far so much better than any other I have found. I DONT LIKE LIQUID PROTIEN FROM GNC...OH MY GOODNESSS....GAGAGAGGAGAGAGAGGA

I don't have a comment regarding powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury one way or another, never tried it. But the Protein drink from GNC is vile and disgusting. I couldn't agree more.

I love Unjury! It is less sweet than the others and like Hoosierpoms says, the unflavored in Soup or juice or whatever is awesome! I was running low on calories/protein the other day so I used a scoop of chocolate unjury, lf mild an 2 tblsp sugar free Peanut Butter. YUMMO! Tasted like a chocolate pb shake! I also really liked the chicken broth much better than the others I have tried. What don't you like about it? And which have you tried? I am not a fan of vanilla or strawberry....

I have a really hard time finding a Protein drink that is worth a darn so that is why the unflavored is my favorite. :)

I am not fond of Protein Shake either, but I found a mix at costco - Sportpharma (chocolate) Whey Protein mix that is not that bad. I mix it with 2% milk and a half of a small banana and I feel satisfied. I also used the Unjury Protein (unflavored) in Soup (Better than Bouillon) and found it did not alter the taste at all.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
