recommendations on protein shakes

hello all! this is my first time posting and i got a question for ya! i will be having lapband with dr. titus duncan on 9/26. i had to finance the surgery....better to be skinny and poor than fat and rich! lololol just wondering if you guys have any preferences/recommendations for proteins shakes/powders that are good to use. any advice would be greatly appreicated! thanks!

Hi and welcome.   I used a product called "Jay Robb" from the Vitamin Shoppe.   The strawberry was actually pretty good.  I am sure you will also hear about some protein you can buy at Wal-Mart but I haven't actually tried that one.  There are several of us that used Dr Duncan't office although most of us had the terrific Dr Hobson do our surgery.  Good luck.

thanks pat for your response! the lapband forum also gave some great suggestions on proteins shakes and some protein water.  i am looking forward to the surgery, but scared about all of the restrictions i will have and all of the rules to follow...... thanks again!!!

Muscle Milk @ GNC is mmm mmm good! Comes in choc., strawberry, coffee, cookies-n-cream, etc. A 17oz. pre-made shake is like 34 grams of protein and about $4.00 - it'll make 2 meals!

i did go to the vitamin shop and picked out several differen types of protein shakes/drinks etc to find out which one i can stomach the taste!

i did buy the MuscleMilk, but i got the light. dr. duncan's office wants the calories to be less than 200 (i think the regular is 220 or 250...really not a big deal though)

i also bought the isopure juice/water and this concentrated protien drink called IDS Sports 42 whey protein...it is only 3oz of liquid and has 42g of protein!!! i could probably stomach drinking 3oz vs 11oz of something nasty! lololol

i will just need to try all of them to see which one i can stomach. thanks again for all of your suggestions!

Hi, I also had Dr. Hobson do mine Roux en Y on 08/13/07, and I had ordered the IDS liquid protien  with 42 gm per 3 ounces..This was because I was afraid of not getting in the amount needed inthe early days..I also have heard of the Body fortess from Walmarts..I do not think you may have the taste issues that those of us have with the Roux en y. Good luck on your journey.. Trisha

Hi I use the internet site Bodybuilding.com because it has alot to choose from and I use the Gold Standard Whey 100

I really like the taste even with water it is fantastic. I had to order it because I was house bound and could not get out to get protein from a store. The Chocolate is really to die for, but then I am a choc a holic haha.....hope this helps you. Renee
