Pre Op Protein Shakes..Heads up

Hey everyone

I wanted to let you all know that I have tried the 100% whey Protein powder from GNC in the chocolate and banana Cream and they are totally tasty.. I used 8 oz of skim milk and just one scoop as it says to do and it was good. They say use Water but I did find it mixes best with the milk.

Anyway I wanted to let everyone know this is what works for me and I hope it helps you!

I do know that GNC right now is having a sale on the bags of this stuff for $10.99 a bag instead of like $16.00 so stock up..

Have and awesome day and I am still very excited surgery day is 9th July!

Thanks! This is just the kind of stuff that will help us all get through it. In just a few days i got good puree recipees, advice on reducing the surgical scars, treatment for post surgery gas discomfort, and now good protien shake recommendations.

thanks to all of you for posting your advice :=) !!

I buy most of my protein/vitamin supplies at GNC & Trader Joe's. I also like GNC's Whey Protein. I have only tried Unjury's chicken broth protein, but their flavored Proteins seem to get very good reviews on this site.

If you are not aware, if you get GNC's Gold Card, you get 20% off your purchases during the first week of each month. The card costs $10, but I saved more than that on my first purchase.

Thanks, I am scheduled for 7/31 and I need all the advice I can get, to help me prepare.

Hello, I start my 2 week shake diet on Monday. I am scheduled for the 21st of July. The shakes they told me I have to buy @ the doctors office. Hmm is this the same thing? I wonder if i can save money if i just buy from GNC.

Thanks

Hi Felkatz,

I can't believe your DR told you that you had to buy them there. Must be some good kick-back for him. Buy them anywhere but just read the labels well. Make sure you are getting all the Protein you need in a day without the extra calories.
