I am a new member on the site. My surgery is set for 4/13. I am trying to get my house set up so when I get home it will be easy. Anyone know which OTC shakes are approved.

I use Isopure (get at Lucky Vitamin) and WonderSlim Diet Direct. Lots of options to choose from and both have free shipping one you hit a certain amount.

I use Premier Protein. Sold everywhere. Cheaper at Costco and SAMs (on sale this month at SAMs)

Thanks for input. Do they have a few flavors?

Whatever you select it is recommended that they provide at least 20 grams of Protein and less than 5 grams of sugar per serving. Some examples of premixed Protein drinks that are recommended are:

Ensure High Protein

EAS Advantage Carb Control

EAS Myoplex

Muscle Milk Light

Isopure

Atkins Advantage

CytoSport Monster Milk

Pure Protein

Met-Rx Protein Plus

Oh Yeah

and Premier Nutrition

and then there is a longer list of protein powders used in making Protein shakes.

Also your taste buds may change after surgery, which means that you may want to wait a little bit until after surgery to stock up. It also means that you may need to experiment with the various options available to find something that you can tolerate after surgery.

Your doctor should also have a list of shakes he suggests. The interesting thing with my Doctor is that he does not approve of so many of them yet his daughter in law that is also a bariatric surgeon in our town does!

Mine is super picky...

Bariatric Advantage, Chike, and New Direction (soups) are the only brands he wants me to use for the first 6 months...

I drink Premier Protein now for Breakfast and I love it. My friend, who had the surgery with his daughter in law is allowed to drink Premier... I don't really understand his way of thinking on this topic. I have decided to follow his rules since I chose him as my doctor, but I look forward to the day of drinking Premier again after a few months of following his rules

Thanks so much for info. I will be getting my info papers and other stuff on 3/18.

my surgeons practice says were only allowed Protein drinks with whey isolate as the first ingredient so things like Syntrax nectar and isopure
