I am having a hard time with the Protein Shakes. They feel like a rock sitting in my stomach and bowels. I am pre surgery and would like to find something that works so i can get all the Protein i need to heal. Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions?

I like the premier protein shakes. They make me feel full and they don't taste half bad.

Ive tried Premiere and Genpro. They do keep you full but if feels like a rock on my stomach and I get constipated. Its a horrible feeling

I hate to say this, but a lot of us deal with chronic constipation after surgery. I think it has more to do with the diet (high protein) than anything else. You're probably getting it because of all the protein in those shakes...

I just had my pre-surgery meeting today and NUT told us that if we use Premier for the pre-op liquid diet to also add a fiber supplement and a daily multivitamin. Perhaps adding a fiber supplement constipation would not be a problem? Just a suggestion.

We were also told to take MIRALAX post surgery.

This is exactly why we recently launched a protein shake that contains a multivitamin and fiber! It’s called BariatricPal Protein One and available at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/bariatricpal-protein-one

I bought a protein drink today called Isopure from GNC but not tried it yet. I was told to add Benefiber to the shakes not heloed the heavy feeling in my belly or the constipation and ive not even had the surgery yet!

This looks really good but what do you think of the flavor?

I'm slightly biased since I created the product

I guarantee you that you will LOVE the flavor. We're planning on rolling out another 5-10 additional flavors in 2018. If you're not happy with the product or flavor, we will refund your $! Every customer that's tasted it has loved it. It's really easy to mix and truly tastes good.

I really liked the GNC Lean25 shakes. They are a light lighter in texture than many of the shakes I tried and they come in so many flavors, including special seasonal flavors so you can switch it up if needed.

Thanks I will look at the lean 25. My dr requires that the shales have 30 grams per serving.

Check out JBN (Just Be Natural) - specifically the Confidence Whey Isolate (Total Fat: 1g, Total Carb: 8g, Fiber: 5g, Sugars: 1g, Protein: 25g.) You can order sample cups (3 different flavors for $5 and shipping is free! That way you haven’t spent a lot of money if you decide you don’t like it. I find it very tasty. The Confidence Whey Isolate comes in the following flavors: Banana Cake, Berry Delight, Chocolate, Chocolate Mocha, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Truffle, Unflavored, French Vanilla, Malted Milkshake, Oatmeal Cookie, Orange Cream, Pumpkin Spice, & Strawberry - a flavor for every taste!

I like Syntrax, specifically their Fuzzy Naval and Vanilla Bean Torte. They seem fairly light to me. I also use Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate. It's a little heavier but not bad.

I've tried every OTC protein shake and still have yet to find something I like and taste good. I'm desperate to find something!
