Protein drinks ??

Hello everyone-- I am trying to find out the preferred protein drinks everyone uses. I was told I will need at least 60 grams of protein per day. any suggestions would be great. Thank you again. Chris Clark

I use Carb Solutions (chocolate or vanilla). I order it from drugstore.com. It is currently on sale there for $6.50/can. It's usually $12.99/can. I couldn't find this locally so I but it online. I use 1% low fat milk as well as a couple of scoops of dry nonfat powder milk with my shake. I got a really good receipe book from my doctor's office (Dr. White). If you want some receipes, let me know and I can email them to you. (It's too long to pick here!!) Hope this helps, Tammie

Hi Tammie-- Dr. White is my surgeon also. Did you ask the Dr. for this booklet or did they just give it to you?? I have not received anything from them as for recipes. That would be great. I am at [email protected] Thank you so much !! Chris

I got the booklet, "Shake It Up! High Protein Shake Pudding and Soup Recipes", during my pre-op meeting with the nutritionist, Beth Hersh.  It's nothing fancy but it's been really helpful to me.  She also gave me a pamphlet called "Lap Band Surgery & Your Nutrition" that each dieting phase and sample diets.  When did you have your surgery?  She didn't give you any information about your new diet?  That's weird.  I will scan both booklets for you tonight!! Just passing on the info, Tammie

Hi Tammie- I haven't had surgery yet. I am still waiting, but I had my appointment with Beth 1 week ago. I got the diet so to speak, but just wanted ideas. Thanks for you help. Chris

Hi Chris, I found this website of protein recipes that I thought would be helpful as well: http://www.barixclinicsstore.com/recipe_main.html

Chris,  HOw long were you on a liquid diet and then on the soft one?   Jeannie Dodd

Hi,  I have not had surgery yet. I am still waiting. However, I have the precribed diet instructions--10 day liquid before surgery-& 1 week liquid after surgery, then pureed , then soft till 4th month. At 5 months regular.

Chris,

I use ISOPURE protein drink which i picked up from GNC it has many flavours and comes in powder and bottled form.  It has 50 g of protein, no sugar, no carb.  I got a mixed box that came with 5 different flavours and it really isn't that bad.  I got banded on the 12 and even have a hard time finishing one. 

good luck, monisha
