Has anyone seen a site that has samples for Protein drinks?

I am going to be banded in Jan. and want to sample and find those that I really like before I spend a load of money on them.

Try Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage I ordered it and, in fact, am sitting here drinking my first one as I type. I read about it on this site. I ordered a container of the unflavored and then samples of the others so I could try them first. I am drinking the unflavored right now. I put it in chicken broth. It is great. I really cannot taste it. I am really supprised at how good it is. Hope that helps.

Bariatric Eating - Protein, Vitamins, Gastric Bypass & Lap Band Info, Post-op Recipes, and Help sells a protein drink/mix sampler that has a lot of different brands in it. They vary in quality and in how good they are, but it can give you a decent idea of what's available. There are two different versions available, one with a book and one without. I got the one without, since it was $20 less, and since the book was RNY-centered.

Thank you both. Sounds like a good place to start. I will try both of those!

Check with your band doc first

My doc gave me a prescription for protien shakes for my pre-op (optifast). I am certain that the doc did not want people on anything else.

Since all docs seem to have there own pre op and post op plan, you wouldnt want to waste money on products that the doc does not want you to use.

Just my 2 cents !!

Congrats on getting the band

Thanks. I will check into that! I appreciate all the feedback! :mad:
