Hello my friends. I had an appointment with my NUT and Surgeon today. We were discussing the pre-op and post-op requirements since I will start May preparing for surgery. I would like a head start in trying Protein shakes and stocking up. Although I have gotten suggestions from my NUT, I would like to hear from the professionals (you guys) who have actually had to buy and drink them regularly.

Please let me know experiences, good or bad. I know everyone is different but this is hard enough and if I can get through one hurdle easier it is worth it.

THANK EVERYONE and HAPPY SHEDDING!!!

I have some Protein shake recipes. Try them to see how they taste. They aren't a huge investment.

[ ] Apple pie shake

[ ] 8 oz. Water or unsweetened almond milk 1/2 scoop unflavored Protein powder, 1/2 apple powder from Mott's, 4 tsp of torani brown sugar cinnamon sugar free syrup

@@dawnyoung872 THANKS, I will be trying these over the weekend!!!

@ dawnyoung872... Where do you find the stuff like apple powder and torani products

@ dawnyoung872... Where do you find the stuff like apple powder and torani products

The apple powder is one of two things. The Mott's brand is one of those packets they sale to mix in with water bottles. The other is sugar free apple cider mix. Torani syrups can be found online, Wal-Mart, grocery stores. They are usually found where the coffee is. We have a place called world market that sells all kinds of sugar free flavors. I found more there than any where else. If you don't have one online is a great option. Torani has their own website. Good luck!

Cool thanks dawnyounh872

Go to my bariatric pantry. You can order tons of samples there. I ordered the entire syntax matrix and nectar lines, protein soups and also ordered samples from unjury. I have been told not to order too much because tastes can change. I will probably order a couple tubs. I ordered several sugar free coffee syrups so I can play with changing the flavors. I got those from amazon

If you want the powder protein shakes Matrix makes some good ones like Peanut Butter & Mint Cookie. Nectar, also makes a few I like-like Carribean Cooler & Perfect Chocolate. The only thing I hate that the shakes don't blend up as well as I'd like them too. So now I drink EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control (pre-made) there 100 calories and 17 grams of protein per shake. I love that I can just put them in the fridge and one I want one its already ready.

@Beauty+5... Yep I have been drinking EAS pre-made. I love the chocolate and they can be purchased at Walgreens also.
