I just got word that my surgery was apporived!!I am super excited. I won't know my surgery date until next week. What protien shakes or powders does everyone reccommend?

Glad you were approved,My favorite protein shake is the EAS Carb control. It has 17 grams of protein with only 2 carbs and a 4 pack is less than $5 at walmart.

Congrats! I am 1 week out tomorrow from mine!

I like premier protien 30gs per shake, only comes in chocolate though. After surgery though my doc requires all patients to be in isopure zero carbw/50g of protien per shake for at least a month. Actually I think I might take my priemers and mix in the isopure poweder and have 1 shake that is 80g per day.

Congrats!

I like Nectar Fuzzy Navel by Syntrax

I also get Body Fortress in Vanilla Chocolate and Cookies and Cream at Walmart (it's not expensive which is a good thing)

to make my protein more enjoyable I make it in the blender with a variety of sugar free davinci syrups.... (like for example cookies and cream protein powder mixed with milk and a couple of squirts of vanilla, white chocolate and Kahlua syrups...

ooooh!!!! another fuzzy navel fan!!! and FYI, for me, just after surgery, if i blended something i got SO SICK from all that air. so i started pouring them over ice - it worked fine for me and i didn't get all that air in my tiny tummy.

after awhile, i also started mixing it into plain LF yogurt - made sort of a pudding, which was a VERY nice change

I also carried a spare EAS low carb shake - chocolate was best, but that strawberry wasn't bad, either - as long as they were icy cold.

thank you foir all your suggestions! there are so many out there I am lost as to what to try. I am going to make a list and buy one of each so I can figure out what i like. the syrup Idea is an awesome one!! Congrats to you Sindurella I bet you are excited!

I just want to add, I am a long time lurker, and occasional poster. Many of you have shared so much and I want to thank you for all your threads and posts. even tho I am lurky, it has helped me so much on this journey.

I like them, they come in 4 flavors Chocolate, Fudge,vanilla & strawberry,but everyone has their taste to what they like.

Yahoo! Moving over on the WLS bench for ya! I tend to like the Syntax fruity protein shakes, but am surprised that I can actually stomach the Atkin's chocolate and vanilla. Also like the Mattrix chocolate and vanilla. Miss Ange had lots of recipes for protein drinks a while back, but today the girl is having a tummy tuck!!!! Read, read, read, the material your WLS people are giving you and then read it again. We're here for you.

thank you so much. I am now trying to find a chewable multi vitamin I can stand along with the vitamin D and b12 i need. I found a liquid calcium that i dont mind too much, and gummi multi vitamin, but i have to ask y doc if they are ok.
