I am so confused with the protein shake post op. What do we mix it with? water or skim milk or some of your food? My doctor recommends the Unjury brand. and they have an unflavored one I thought i might put into yogurt or jello. Then can i get get the strawberry one and mix it with skim milk to make like a strawberry milk?

I put the flavorless Unjury in SF pudding and soups. I use slim fast low carb between meals for protein. I have a chocolate protein powder but I havent been using it.

I use the EAS Protein Powder Vanilla. That way you can make whatever other flavors you want to with it. I have used Pineapple, strawberries, chocolate syrup, yogurt, sugar free ice cream. I do you use milk because that adds more protein to your diet. I did not like the smell of the Unjury. I also use G2 Gatorade to help with other liquids. There is a post under nutrition that has recipes for different protein drinks. Hope this helps

I have unjury powder in chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. I mix them with skim milk. My doctor's office suggested mixing them with double strength milk - which is skim milk mixed with nonfat milk powder. Altogether, the shake with the unjury powder and double strength milk has 18 grams of protein for every 4 ounces. It tastes creamier too.

It's not a shake but to get my protien grams in I have been GNC "bullets" They come in several flavors and have 42 gms of protein. I like to mix them with water and Crystal Lite and drink it that way. They are really good when getting sufficient protein is a challenge.:biggrin:

Sorry the flavors are fruit punch, blue rasberry, grape, lemon-lime and orange.

Thanks I am feeling better about the protein thing now. Yesterday I ordered a unflavored and a vanilla unjury. On their website it says you can return them if you don't like them. and i might have to check out the bullets.

Try looking at bariatriceating.com they have a large selection of protein, and 100% Berry Whey is my favorite and oh and the chocolate mint, and they have them on sale at this moment. There is also suggestions on how to use protein in food drinks etc. It has a lot bigger selection than GNC, but GNC is good if you did'nt get to order you items in time and need to grab something to keep you going til your order comes in. Good Luck with it, it was really hard for me to get use to the taste, YUCK!

Hi all! My Post-op diet says for the first 5 days Clear Liquids with Protein will help to curb your appetite. Spread your protein evenly throughout the day in order to help you stay full longer.

Hungry doesn't seem to be a problem post -op. Now I'm hungry:toetap05: my band day is not til Jan. 29th. Best wishes HOLLY
