protein drinks for post op
I happen to love the profect bullets. But a lot of people think they are way too sweet. But I think they are a quick and easy way to get them in. I would recommend ordering a protien sample pack through bariatriceating.com. They do have a sample of the New Whey liquid protein in there. A lot of companies will send you samples.
BE (link on this site) has a sample pack that has 12 different protiens in it. That is a good way to get different ones to try. I have bought two of them but I am saving most of them for after my surgery because taste change after surgery. The ones that I have doubles of I am using to add variaty to my 2 week pre-op liquid diet.
I got the protein pack from BE also and it was a good way to try things. I used most of it up before surgery though. I ended up getting whey gourmet choc peanut butter and whey gourmet mint choc chip ice cream flavored which I love.
I mostly use the any whey from GNC though. It is unflavored (although I find it works best in sweeter things since I swear I taste a bit of vanilla. I used a scoop in sf pudding (this saved me the first 2 weeks after surgery) and I also add it to my diet cocoa at night, or my tea (1/2 scoop).
My tastes didn't really change after surgery (as far as I can tell). I got a case of the new whey 42 gram bullets and didn't like them at all. I ended up returning 8 of them, left 3 for my mom to try and I only had one.
I have a bunch of micellar milk (everyone on the be forum raves about them). I use them to make pudding (in place of milk), or I add the choc to my cocoa...but I have a feeling I won't use all I have, but my mom will.
