Suggestion for Protein Shakes

Hello everyone, I have read so many posts about protein shakes so I thought I would post some suggestions. I found a GREAT WEBSITE it is....http://store.bariatriceating.com/ and I wish I had ordered some things from there before the surgery. You can order samples for $1.75. They also have lollipops and I ordered one to try it and I wish I had ordered more. I am still on a liquid diet and would really enjoy a lollipop!!!! I know everyone is different, but here are a few things that have workded well for me in Full Liquid Stage: *Propel Fitness Water (I drink this all the time!) *OptiSource Protein Drink (the carmel is really good) *Cup-a-Soup cream based soups *Carnation Instant Breakfast for the Carb Conscious *KetoSlim Protein Powder (found at the local whole foods co-op) *and every sample I have had from the website listed above has been great... most of them have at least 21 grams of protein. Fit for Life made me really sidk my first day home (not fun) For Mother's Day my husband bought me a high powered mini-blender "The Magic Bullet" that is on infomercials. I am sooooo happy I have this b/c it is the perfect size and I use it at least three times a day. I also got a snow cone machine which is nice too when you are getting tired of liquid.. you just have to use juice instead of the Snow Cone Syrup which is no biggie. What has worked for you?

Hey Kristen...I am on the Liquid pre op diet now and I find NOTHING to be of any palatable interest to me. BLAH! The protein shakes are effin nasty to me and when I drink them I want to GAG! Vanilla is the most horrible flavor to me always has been...I am really scared cause this will be a great sourse of my life for the first few months to year after surgery. I purchased the Magic Bullet too and you know what? It makes the same kind of snow cone! It whips up that ice in NO TIME and makes it exactly like snow cone but a little more snowy...depending on how long you hold the bullet down! I am using Virtually Tasteless Whey Powder. I hate the smell. VANILLA smell. UGH. I need some help. Hugs! Shele

I've fallen in love with the SlimFast Carb Options drinks. But you have to pour them into something other than the can when you're going to drink it. It has 20 grams of protein in each drink. Good stuff. I just ordered my first jar of Any Whey. I've heard that it is the best as far as "flavorless" protein goes. I'll be trying to mix it into strong flavored things, like chilis at first. We'll see how that goes. RNY Lap 5/2/06 Leia
