What is a good Post Op shake?

I prefer the choc whey Protein from Walmart, mixed with Dannon Fit and Lite strawberry/banana yogurt and a little skim milk. Tastes like a rich choclate smoothie. Add a few frozen strayberries if you want more flavor

I use the Slim Fast low carb. chocolate or vanilla creme. If you mix some gerber baby food mango with the vanilla and add some nutmeg, it tastes like egg nog.

I like any of the EAS premixed ones. I couldn't handle any of the powder ones. I buy cases of the chocolate fudge ones from sams club. I still have one every morning!

My preference is Worldwide Protein Shakes. They come in 21 g or 35 g Protein, vanilla and chocolate. They are much lower in fat than Atkins (1g for WW and 9g for Atkins), only have 1 sugar and to me they taste better. They are found at Trader Joe's.

I've tried all kinds and they all gave me serious gastric problems. So far the only one I can drink is All the Whey-for bariatric/lap band. It has no fat, no carbs, sweetened with Stevia, gluten free and lactose free. I love the strawberry shortcake and orange creamsicle!!!

All the whey | Whey Protein supplements for Bodybuilding and Health

When I went to that site, I couldn't figure out how to find the flavors.

I went to bariatric and it said Protein powder, but didn't list any flavors.

I am on New Direction and Unjury. They both are really good. I also have been adding sugar free syrups in mine and for the life of me right now I can't think of the brand of those. I can look them up if anyone wants me to.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I TRULY hate Protein bars and drinks and know I'm going to have to find something I can tolerate. I completely failed the Weight Loss for Life plan because I couldn't stomach their drinks.< /p>

Trader Joes, Atkins, unjury, GNC.... I'll be sure and check them all.

Thanks again!

I choose Jay Robb's Egg White Protein Powder. The shakes taste great and are less foamy than whey. Vanilla, chocolate and Pina Colada flavors are available. I lift weights so I drank them before being banded and they were perfect for the two weeks I had to be on liquids only. Now I am onto real food - mushy - and still supplement with a shake in the morning. You can get it at any Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe. (I was banded 3/11/08 Dr. Jeremy Korman - Los Angeles. 13 pounds down so far.)

Hi There,

I use the Isopure, 50grams of carbs per serving and very little carbs. I add a 1/2 teaspoon of PB to the chocolate and sometimes a couple slices of banana and I am good until lunch. ANd I know that I have pretty much gotten all my Protein for the day, this is what keeps you full. I get mine at GNC, lots of flavors, I mix up the flavors sometimes, makes it interesting.

Good Luck

There was a post somewhere that talked about a super Protein Shake made from sugar free Instant Breakfast with 2 scoops of chocolate Protein powder, a cup of milk and some ice cubes swirled in a blender. It gets alot of your protein in one drink and it's not too bad.

CHOCOLATE UNJURY!!.. mine just came in today and OMG!... simply THE BEST!

Isopure from GNC comes in a powder form for shakes and a juice type drink. Low carb, no sugar and 40-50 grams of Protein per serving.

I tried the fruit punch flavor drink the other day and it's o-k-a-y (only if really cold) but I really have to be in the mood to tolerate it.

This morning I tried the chocolate flavor powder (1 scoop=25 g.pro with 8 oz. lactaid ff milk 8g.pro)

Wasn't bad at all! I was quite impressed!

About an hour later I got really sick (the tushie way). Not sure why. I will try it again tomorrow and see if I get the same result. This sucks cuz I really need to be getting Protein in-I am terrified about losing hair!!!
