What is the best Protien Drink ?



Recommended Posts

I agree with some of the others. I like EAS chocolate fudge ones. They are great to me. Well, its not Dr Pepper BUT I can honestly say that I like them. I haven't been banded yet. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 15th. Good Luck!!:wink_smile:

Hi I am 1 1/2 years since surgery. I'm down about 93 pounds. I have found the best Protein is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and I buy it online. Just google Unjury and you will find it.They have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chicken Soup and unflavored. I like it, because you can buy samples to see if you like it. I have tried the vanilla and chicken Soup. I think they are good and give 20 grams Protein. I mix the vanilla with my coffee in the morning. I mix it in the magic bullet. It is not cheap, but tastes okay. I really like the chicken soup, but be sure to follow the directions. The first time I used it, I heated it the microwave and it ruined it. You only need to mix it in warm Water. I like it during the winter, because I enjoy soup in the cold winter.

Hope this helps.

I'd rather chew my Protein and calories, than waste them on a liquid that doesn't keep me full. I keep Atkins rtd vanilla in the house for after a fill, sometimes my stomach is a little irritated after a fill for a day or so. I've tried the Muscle Milk chocolate powder also. It was not so great. Didn't mix in very well, always had chunks, even in a blender. Still have half a container sitting there from last September. Other than that, I don't bother with Protein Shakes. I really believe we should be eating our protein, not drinking it.

Hi,

I'm currently using CHIKE Protein shake mix but I'm not crazy about it. I'll have to try some of the ones that you guys have recommended.

SLinderella2b, OMG! I tried the fruit Punch Protein bullet from Walmart and mixed it with the Crystal Light fruit punch. You were so right, it was really good.

Thanks for the tip. I got the 26g bullet for about $1.97.

Thanks again.

Yes I like the GNC Isopure Dutch Choc- 50 gms! My MD recommended the Unjury mail order brand- "medical quality", but so gross I couldn't tolerate it. GNC also has Isopure clear flavored drinks- I mix the grape 1/2 & 1/2 with purple Gatorade for my son, who is 13 and a crazy athlete.

I have tried most of what is listed above and I am really turned off by the chalky flavor and tend not to drink them at all. However, I just found a new one today called nectar sweets. 0 Fat, 1 Carb, 23 protien. I just had it and it's amazing. The best part is that you can stir it with a spoon! It isn't thick, but it's going to be perfect for Breakfast and late night snack! I think I am in love. I got the chocolate truffle. They have tons more flavors. I am going to find it online and order some more right now!!!

I have not yet had surgery, my date is 6/30/09 but I have been trying all kinds of drinks to get ready. I really like the Isopure ones that are fruity, I dilute them with Water and can sip them during the day. They have 40 grams of Protein, zero carbs. :)

I like the Optimum Nutrition powder which my Dr. reccomended and you can find at Vitamin Shoppe, I have only tried chocolate which is good with non-fat milk.

I also like the EAS drinks, I have always loved the strawberry myoplex low carb. I am not sure of the Protein but it is low-fat, low-carb. I was told to watch my carb in my pre-op surgery.

I tried Lean Body today at GNC and it was beyond gross and fattening I later discovered. It has 40 g of protein and 9 grams of Fat. OMG. Never again. :thumbup:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
