After Procedure Diet

Hi All, I am so excited.  My surgery i scheduled for Monday morning.  But I am a little concerned about the protein shakes.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to what is good and what is not good.  I heard about a protein pack that you can order which has a bunch in there to try but I cant seem to find it anywhere.  Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks a bunch everybody and have a great day. Andrea

Hi Andrea, I found the Atkins Advantage were the only ones my taste buds would tolerate.  THe chocolate royale is good.  Also, because I was getting severe leg cramps, my doc allowed me to throw a banana in the shake so I bought the vanilla, added vanilla extract and a half of banana.  That wasn't too bad either.  Good luck!  Jules

Thanks Jules. I appreciate your response.

Good luck Andrea! Protein shakes are tough as it's one of the biggest complaints for finding one you like. Before buying anything big....try some individual packets first.

Good luck on Monday!!  I as well had a really tough time finding a shake that I liked.   I bought several before I found one I liked.  I always went with the vanilla flavor so I could add in fruit/flavor easier. 

HI Andrea... best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery...  as far as protein.. its so indevidualized. I was fine with No Sugar added carnation for the most part. I also used the advantage edge. some people seem to like the protien from GNC..they come on bottles that look like test tubes. Im sure someone can tell you the name of them, i cant seem to remember. There are so many types and flavors.. unfortunately its all trial and error. Just buy small and start from there. I also made my own creamed soups for a change of pace. Good luck on the journey..

I also like the Atkins Advantage.  I bought a case of vanilla from BJ's.  I also got some EAS ones from walmart that were pretty good.  Thay have chocolate, vanilla & strawberry.  I think you get 4 in a package for $5.  Good luck with your surgery!!!!!

I really like the carnation instant breakfast.
