ISOPURE...from the Vitamin Shoppe...40 g of Protein, no carb, in 20 oz bottle. Slightly sweet tasting, but always did its job with me. Helped me with the pre-op diet a lot, and made clear liquid stage pretty tolerable. I use it to break out of stalls and it usually works!

My nutritionist gave me guidelines for my shakes, so I'm surprised you didn't receive something like that. Here are the guidelines I was given:

• Minimum of 20 grams of Protein per serving
• Less than 8 grams of carbs with less than 2 grams of sugar,and a minimum of 3 grams of Fiber
• Less than 3 grams of fat
• Less than 200 calories per serving, best at 150
• Whey isolate is preferable

My guidelines I got were very similar to those from @@JamieLogical with the exception of fiber (no minimum but we were supposed to add 2 tsp sugar free fiber powder if it did not have 3 grams of fiber) and calories -- our max was 180 calories per serving.

It's disappointing to me that some surgeons don't have a Nutritionist available for patients. I can't imagine going through any of this without a good Nutritionist. If I were you I'd find a nutritionist familiar with Bariatric Surgery.

Premiere Protein is a good shake to try (if your allowed shakes). They are high protein, low fat and low sugar.

The lady that told me about the shake just suggested me to buy some off the dr office but I think there expensive when I can get it cheaper and for more

An awful lot of us here use Premier Protein shakes, because you can get them at costco. They come in a box of 18. I can't remember how much they are per box, but under $1.50/shake.

Nice ! I'm gonna go check it out thanks so much

If money is an issue you might also want to consider no sugar added carnation Breakfast essentials.

My Protein shake guidelines also said to make sure it doesn't say "protein concentrate, hydrolyzed Gelatin, or collagen protein" anywhere on the list of ingredients. ....this requirement is what keeps me from being able to use the Premier brand. I use the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand

[JamieLogical 8,684]

The cheapest option for shakes is to buy whey isolate powder and make your own with Water, almond milk, or soy milk. You can buy flavored Protein powders or unflavored and flavor you shakes with sugar-free syrups.< /p>

Like kmorri I use Unjury and nectre brands bought in the dr. office. My doc seems very strict compared to some of the post I read here. We weren't given an outside option, even told us how much money we'd need prior to this stage. Honestly took the guesswork out of it
