Hi All! Can anyone please tell me the names of the best TASTING Protein shakes for after surgery and where you got them. Also the sames with liquid Vitamins....Thanks! All info will be a help!!

:thumbup:

I like the Whey protein drink Chocolate is the best. Mix it up with 8 ounces of 1% milk or water. I have seen it at Costco. But it is also at Walmarts in the Pharmacy along where the vitamins and slim fast is. It comes in a big gallon container. If you have to drink weight loss drink. Try Kirkland brand instead of Slim Fast. Kirland brand cost less. I was told by the Nurse who works in my surgeon's office.

Tracy, in my opinion powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage) provides the best tasting Protein drinks. They have a variety of flavors including unflavored you can add to anything as well as chicken broth (powder). Also Matrix is good, I think it is by Syntax. I have tried a couple from GNC and other body building places that I haven't liked as much.

Also here is a tip on something I have done. I add sugar free syrups into my protein mixes sometimes. I use a orange protein mix and add vanilla syrup - makes a great dreamsicle flavored drink. Final tip - by a small container first if possible. Some are really bad and you don't want $40 worth on your shelf. Also don't buy a lot before surgery, your taste may change post surgery.

Good luck,

Michael

hi tracy

i use Isopure whey Protein shakes. i like the chocolate best which i mix with Water, Peanut Butter and banana. i also use the vanilla which i mix with a variety of berries. it comes in pouches and also already mixed in bottles (i dont use these)

i get them on a website called A1Supplements.com - Wholesale supplements to Build Muscle, Lose Fat with EAS, MuscleTech, BSN and more!.

for Vitamins i use Centrum chewables. the liquid vitamins made me sick from the taste. i also take caltrate with Vitamin D for Calcium. they are also chewables. target has all of the chewables.

i still use Protein Shakes to this day because i'm not hungry in the day. so they give me the nutrition i need and i have so much energy from them.

good luck

Whatever shake you decide to go with, make sure you are blending them when you can... but if you are without a blender, you may want to buy a "Blender Bottle"! Blender Bottle 28 Ounce | Oathealth.com | Nutrim Oat Bran Soluble Fiber Beta-Glucan

They are awesome! You can order it online or just go to the Vitamin Store and buy one there... This way you can have the shake while you're out!

Best of Luck!!!

Are you allowed to drink slimfast? it has more carbs and tastes better then the whey protien shakes?

The answers you received are great. I have to go through 6 month diet before I will be able to get the band but would like to start trying some of the drinks before hand. A friend told me to try the Cambridge shake. It has 110 calories and 11 gram of protein. Has anyone tried this.

Wish I could get the band tomorrow.

Another question, how many grams of protein should you have per day?

Just waiting!!!!

I like the isopure fuit punch and the peach mango flavors. The y have 50 grams of protein in one scoop. avail at GNC but cheaper on line at A1 Nutrition.:woot:

I like the Isopure premade. I buy it by the case at GNC & it's the same price as A1 before shipping. It is very Kool-aidish.

I bought the Ready to Drink kind. To me, EAS AdvantEdge taste pretty good. I got mine at Sam's club, a case (24) is about $ 25. The Choc fudge tastes like when you mix cocoa with nonfat milk. Drink it real cold though.... ^____^

If you are on the West Coast, we have Safeway grocery stores... they have an EXCELLENT Protein shake, it's the Safeway brand and it comes in vanilla and chocolate... they have 2 net carbs and 19 grams of protein.... I will actually really miss them for Breakfast after banding and healing. That's just my opinion... but I also want to go to GNC and get some Isopure....

I love Jay Robbs strawberry whey Protein . it has no sugar, sweetened with a natural herb called STEVIA. 25 grams protein per scoop no carbs 110 calories. once you can start adding fruit it tastes even better with fresh strawberries. But with out the strawberries it tastes like a strawberry milk shake. there are other flavors if you don't want strawberry but I have not tried those yet I make mine with SKIM MILk
