Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 I drink the Designer Whey protein shakes in chocolate flavor. I like them. You can also blend a 1/3 of a banana in once or twice a week for added flavor. Hope this helps. I am two months post op and I still drink one every morning for breakfast. Quote

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Posted May 8, 2004 i too hated protein drinks right after my surgery (open RNY 3/5/04) i couldn't get it down at all... it literally made me ill. but i got some WHEY TECH last week at The Vitamin Store (they also have an online store) - it's their own brand... i got the vanilla and i've had it every morning. i love it because it's not too sweet and has NO SUGAR and best of all it's 17 grams of protein per scoop and it goes up to 25 grams of protein when you mix it with a cup of nonfat milk. you don't have to put it in the blender - it actually mixes with a spoon... but i've been putting it in a shaker cup with the milk and then i shake it up and add some ice cubes. i take it to work and drink it all morning. you can mix it with water also... it's good both ways... i prefer it with the nonfat milk and then i also add a little water (i really don't like sweet stuff since my surgery). this stuff has really saved my life. i'm going back to The Vitamin Store tomorrow and get some more... i might even try another flavor. deb open RNY L.A.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 Yonnie could you give me the name of the drinks that you are talking about? I can not find pure protien on the web. But 34mg sounds like the best as far as I can tell. I have not had surgery yet but would like to get started on some form of Protien Drinks. Thank you Ann Quote

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 PROPLETE GOLD - by Labrada!!! Vanilla pinapple is soooo good and has tiny bits of real pinapple in it - only 1 or 2 grams of sugar per serving - sweetened with splenda (i think). this is a protein powder - i mix it with a bit of nonfat milk, lots of water, and a ton of ice. i drink it every morning and LOVE IT. and i HATED protein drinks when i got home from my surgery - i had stocked up on pre-mixed canned drinks - YUCK! you can order a bunch of different samples from VITALADY.COM and pick out what protein powder you like best. deb open RNY 3/5/04 357/292/150 > does anyone have any suggestions on protein shakes that are good?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 Hi- I know of a great protein shake that comes in either Vanilla or Chocolate. It is soy based protein and has 13g. There is some sugar in it though. But it also has a ton of other great vitamins and minerals that helps overall. I drink mine with soy milk to add more protein to it. I'm also lactose, so I sort of have to do the soy thing. Anyway, if you are interested, let me know. Jillian > does anyone have any suggestions on protein shakes that are good? Quote
