Hi, I am waiting for an approval for my surgery. I was told my my doc that two weeks before surgery i would have to begin a protein shake diet. Now he does offer them there at the office but they are about 120.oo and i just dont want to spend that much. I've been shopping around at GNC, ther are so many protein powers. can anyone tell me which one to buy?? What about WHeY designer protein? any advise will help. Thanks:thumbup:

I like Muscle Milk Light the Banana Cream is my favorite Optimum Nutricion or ON is also a good buy IMO you could find these at GNC but they are cheaper online.

I use Body Fortress, it's a whey protein powder. It comes in a huge tub and Walmart sells it for 14.99.

I buy vanilla because it's more versatile. My favorite recipe is 1 cup of milk, 1.5 scoops powder, 1tbsp peanut butter, 2 tsp of chocolate sugar free pudding mix and crushed ice.

Like I said, with the vanilla powder you can come up with many recipes. I sometimes use lite O.J and make an orange julius.

i will have to get some of that jujuvee, i am going to order some Nectar, I will let you know how it is when i get it , i don't go on pre op till July 25th.

i also go to GNC and they have this once called Syntha-6 its really great and taste great 2 .. they also have different flavors i use vanilla so i can mix fruit and stuff but i heard that the Cookies and cream is good and the mocha is great to . it don't have any caffeine . . i like it so far plus the way it works keeps you full longer:thumbup: .. you can also buy it at a Vitamin world .. compare prices . sometimes one store will be cheaper than the other but they both Carry this product .

good luck and let me know how it goes

Isopure & Whey are they best...

Isopure has a strange chalky taste after you finish it but it packs 50 grams of protien for two scoops.

Whey is 24 grams for Protein for one scoop and tastes a lot better...

I suggest going to Vitamin shop, talking with some of the peeople there, though you want something with LOW CARBS and LOW SUGER...which is why isopure is the best option.

Also get a shaker to help you mix it up...mixing it with a spoon will not break down the clups well.

Good Luck,

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!

I'm currently using Muscle Milk Light powder in chocolate mint. It tastes pretty good. I have also tried their vanilla creme and cookies n creme, but they were a little too sweet for me.

I am on unjury protein shakes, I got the chocolate and vanilla and they aren't bad. My friend says they taste kinda like a marshmallow. You have to order them online, but didn't find the price to be all that bad. :smile2:

My nutritionist recommended Boost. I love them. You can get them just about anywhere too.

Interesting choice. I was always under the impression that Boost was a product used for putting weight ON a person. I was specifically told not to get it for that reason.

hey, i was wondering if anyones got different results from different protein shakes. is the "unjury" protein shakes better for you and better results? or does any old protein shake really do the same?

My name is Ruth Ivory I am new to the site. My surgery is scheduled for Monday, July 13th. My surgeon prescribed the Sugar Buster diet for me for pre-op I've lost 3 lbs. Thanks alot for the Protein information I have been shopping around for the best product with fewer calories, carbs and sugar. Thanks
