What is the best Protien Drink ?

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:

I like the Isopure natures best. They come in a lot of flavors and its 20oz with 40g Protein. I tried a lot of others but i found this brand to be the best.

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.

My favorite is Champion Prue whey (chocolate) tastes like chocolate milk. They also have several other flavors!

I've also tried Isopure, but the Protein Water (yes Water can have protein!). It's 40 grams Protein and tastes like Crystal Lite. I think I'll try to find the powder as I'm sure it's more economical.

I also use unjury....love it. I find I use the unflavored and chicken Soup more than the other flavors. 20 grams protein in each scoop.

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:
