Hi,

I'm new, having my consult with surgeon on Friday, Can any one suggest a Protein Drink that does not have the gritty texture to it? That is going to be my biggest problem with getting all my Protein in the beginning.

Help

I like Bolthouse Farms Protein Shakes , they are pre made, just grab and drink.

You can get them in the produce section of your grocery store or Walmart or walgreens. The only down side is they do have caffeine in them .

But they are the only Protein Drinks i can tolerate since they are all natural and artifical sweetners give me Migraines.

So Its all i drink for protein shakes.

Good luck . Others im sure will suggest other options.

I like Isopure fruit flavored ones. If you want one that does not have the creamy, milky taste, try these. They have some that taste like cool-aid. I like all the flavors, grape, apple,orange,fruit punch. I just drink these instead of my crystal light about once a day. I do not know the calorie content right off hand but it is not bad and they have 40g of Protein. They are the best i have tried.

If you add flaxseed oil to any shake and put it in the blender, it gets rid of the gritty texture, plus flaxseed oil is very good for you

2... Healthy Weight Super Market in Springfield MO.. sells fruit flavored drinks that come in a shaker bottle as powder, you add Water and shake. Aspertame free... no grit. My favorite is lemon-razzy.

Good luck!

:wub: This is the best secret in Protein out there! Those shaker bottles are fantastic "juice" protein! (Thanks so much for this hint, MazieMommy!) The single-serve Pineapple Orange Shaker & Cran-Grape Shaker (more grape than cran) are my favorites. You just add water right to the powder in the drinking bottle they come in & shake. The flavors are all very mild & they have an apple juice-like consistency. It's perfect for when I need a change from the creamy, latte-style shakes that are my standard.

The only problem is that you have to order it by phone (417.881.8600) if you are not local to Springfield -- no on-line ordering yet at www.healthy-weight-supermarket.com. And I wish they sold the powder in bulk canisters!!

Thanks for all the suggestions, the fruity ones sound good and I'll have to try the flaxseed oil in the creamy ones.

Thanks again,

      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.

      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!!
