Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi Deb! I went to cedars and Dr Kahlili was my surgeon too. I went on March 15 Re: protein drinks 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.
