All, any recommendations on hi pro drinks that taste goodfollowing lapband surgery? Thanks

Hi Don, Welcome to the Maryland Board! I'm an RNY-er, but I have always used EAS powder or AnyWhey. I buy it in bulk at BJ's. I use either chocolate or vanilla and mix up an iced coffee in the morning that I carry with me to work. I use a scoop of powder (either flavor), 2 spoons of instant decaf coffee, some equal, maybe a shot of a s/f flavored syrup, 1/3 cup instant n/f powered milk, 2 cups of water and a cup of crushed ice. It doesn't make a thick shake, more like a regular iced coffee type drink. Best wishes on your WLS journey. Hugs, Mo

I really like the Choc Unjury. There's no after taste and it tastes good. Good luck with all your preparations! Sue

Hi Don - I can't DO the mix 'em yourself drinks - I could pre-op, but not post-op. Post-op, I discovered the RTD (ready to drink) Eas Advant Edge drinks - 11 g. of protein. The chocolate tastes like Yoo-Hoo, and I use the vanilla as creamer in my coffee or hot tea. I buy them at Wal-Mart for $4.97 for a 4 pack, which seems a bit pricey, but not when you consider that one is a meal! Your tastes may change as you go along, so don't buy a bunch of stuff, you'll just waste $$$! Good luck, Tia
