Approved protein shakes



Recommended Posts

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.

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 ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
