What is a good Post Op shake?



Recommended Posts

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

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!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
