Hi Everyone!

My surgery date is July 2nd and I'm looking for suggestions for the best tasting protein drinks for pre and post-op surgery. My doctors office recommends Medifast but I heard from some people that they weren't that good tasting. I know nothing will be "gourmet" but it will be nice to have something a little tasty.

Lisa :rolleyes2:

Thank you all for the suggestions....I really appreciate your responses!

Lisa :biggrin:

My dr suggested the Unjury. It all seems so confusing...I guess the Unjury has the best protein from what I've read. I guess if I dont like it, I'll put it next to every other protein-weight-loss-low-carb blah blah blah in my pantry & try something else. My surgery date is July 15th & I am SO READY! Good luck with yours!

I AM SO PICKY ABOUT THESE THINGS. i AM NOT A MILK DRINKER AT ALL. The only way I can drink it is with lots of choc. or straw. syrup or in a milkshake. There is no way that I can drink anything that tastes anything like MILK alone. I am the kind of person that if I can't have the real thing and what I want I would just as soon not have it. I guess that's why I am the weight I am hu?

I just placed my order for the Unjury product and you can order samples of the products instead of the whole shabang...which I would rather pay $4 for shipping on 3 sample packs to find out I didn't like it rather then paying $20 for something I don't like or want...so you should try it out this way and try the samples rather then the whole container. The sample packets run $1.75 per sample and my total for ordering 3 samples and the shipping was $8.70 for everything. Again I would rather have a few samples then a whole lot of stuff I don't want. Just FYI incase anyone else is also thinking about trying this stuff.

I'm almost a year out and I think I've tried them all by now.

However my fave is Muscle Milk Light.

190 calories and 25g of protein in 2 scoops. It come in lots of different flavors so you won't be bored!:biggrin:

I have heard about this muscle milk. Where can you find it?

I really like the taste of Metobolic RESET Protein powder (made by natures way). I mix it in a magic bullet with skim milk.

It's the lowest carb, lowest calorie good tasting shake I could find.

Give the EAS a try. You can get a 4 pack at Walmart for $4.97. They have strawberry n cream, chocolate fudge, and french vanilla. They are all 2-3 carbs and around 17g protien.

I get my Muscle Milk Light at either GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.

You can also order it cheaper online at

Again, thank you all for the great suggestions....it's very much appreciated! Good luck to you all and have a good day!

100% Whey Protein @ GNC

Comes in Chocolate, vanilla, Strawberry and other flavors.

carnation instant Breakfast mixed with a "magic bullet" realitively inexpensive, and very tasty.

Joyce

I totally agree! carnation instant breakfast is my fav! I usualy get the ones that come in the bottle (not powder) and i mix the chocolate with ice and half a banana, sooooo good!!! or mixed with frozen cherries, thats good too.

I've been using the nutribar replacement vanilla powder and in incorporating it into meals. So for example I take my morning coffee/w milk put it in the blender with the protein powder and some ice and make a slushie out of it. Then for lunch I take some water, frozen fruit berries and the protein powder and blend it up. For dinner I usually have a piece of meat w/veggies or salad. Can anyone tell me if what I'm mixing the protein powder with is good for me????

This thread has been so helpful. I am in the early stages of the lapband process and learning what to eat is imperative!

Thanks so much for all your imput.
