Special K protien drink

has anyone that is post bypass tried to drink the special K protien water?  did it work ok ? I am preop but preparing by stocking up. I dont want to get to many of something I wont use. If anyone has tried them let me know please.

I'm not post by pass, I'm post band, but I enjoy the taste of them, however they only have 5 grams of protein for 50 calories.  Isopure has 160 calories but 40 grams of protein.

I tried them but I wouldn't stock up on them.  You will find that you aren't really locked into one particular taste after surgery and you don't need to be stuck with a bunch of things that you will never use.  The rate of protien isn't as high as some other protein drinks, I would get a few of each thing and hope that you get through with that thing that tastes good before you actually change tastes.  It happens that way for awhile, well into the food stages too.  There are some things I ate a lot of and then one day woke up and couldn't stand the smell or even to look at it. There are lots of things out there to use, and if all else fails, you can use Crystal Light flavors to change things up. Good Luck!

Hi,

     I wouldn’t stock up on special K water.  The product is more ad glitz than protein drink.  If you are looking for a protein drink, try Syntrax Nectar for fruit flavored drinks and Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Stack for chocolate flavored drinks.  The Nectar “fuzzy-navel” (orange/peach) and “roadside lemonade” are very tasty.   I use the search engines (shopzilla.com, shopping.com, ect.) to find the best current on-line price. 

     Don’t stock up per say.  I will probably end up throwing out some Jell-O.   I’m sick of Jell-O!
