Protein Shakes-What brand do you use?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. It is almost time for me to start my pre-op diet and I am indecisive on what Protein shakes/powder I want to buy. I have been provided information but would like to hear what others are using. Also, I would like to possibly get one that could work pre-op and post-op.

Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much. I have tried that one before and it never really dawned on me until now. I haven't tried Atkins but will definitely look into it.

Thanks again.

I use Premier Protein shakes which are pre-made and I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder. It is best to try several samples. Most peoples tastes will change after surgery. I ended up giving away tons of shakes that I no longer liked after surgery. There are several websites that have samples and you can also try GNC for samples.

Thank you and that is a great idea. I'm going to check out the sample idea for sure. :)

I have been concern over this question as well. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I have bought Premier shakes, Muscle Pro light, another brand from Sam's Club. I have also bought the powder Protein from Sam's and Cosco. So far, the Cosco brand has less of a chalky taste. Today, I bought a powder Protein mix from GNC that is not whey based and hope to use it like people use crystal light to flavor my Water, yet help to get my daily protein amounts in. Good luck!!!

This is a great resource I found from reading these boards -

http://www.nashuanutrition.com

They have sample sizes from dozens of different brands, I ordered a couple of each to try pre-op to see what I like. Most people say their tastes change after surgery though, so not stocking up too much.

Good luck!

Thanks y'all for all of the great advice. I'm willing to try it all to avoid any hiccups after the surgery. I am not a shopper so the less of that I have to do the better.

I'm 11 days until my surgery and am an over-preparer. I start my pre-op diet on Thursday. I am not dreading it at all. It is my new start and one I have longed for all too long.

For ready-to-drink shakes, I preferred EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control, rich dark chocolate flavor. You can buy them at Walmart and Target. For Protein Powder, I liked Now Foods Unflavored whey isolate, which I would flavor with various Torani sugar-free syrups.< /p>

I have never thought about doing my own flavoring. That's another fantastic idea. Thank you

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
