Protein Drink

I have less then 2 weeks before WLS, does anyone know of any Protein drinks out there that aren't milky? I'm not to crazy about milk so i'm looking for something that doesn't have milk in it.

The Nectar protein drinks can be made with water or juice. They are pretty good, the best is the Fuzzy Navel, Roadside Lemonade is good too Good luck! Linda

Hi Dwight, You can get an unflavored protein at any health food place and mix it with a light juice or crystal light mix, anything that is sugar free. A blender and adding a few berries doesn't hurt either. Continued success!!!! LindaM

Hi Dwight, I don't do protein drinks but do want to say that before WLS I didn't like milk at all and also couldn't tolerate it - lactose problem. But guess what, now I drink skim milk almost every day mixed with Carnation Instant breakfast or plain with cereal, I actually like it now and I'm having no lactose problems. Go figure. So hold on - you may find your taste buds changing. Good luck and please keep us posted. Cindee 310/210/???

Protein shakes are a very individual like/dislike thing. My personal favorites are as follows: GNC 100% Whey Protein [chocolate][20 gm/scoop] IDS Banana [26 gm/scoop] IDS Vanilla cinnamon [26 gm/scoop] IDS Belgian Chocolate [26 gm/scoop] Protein Delite White Chocolate Strawberry Protein Delite Coconut Almond All of the above mix instantly and have wonderful taste, without that gritty mealy sensation. I use a shaker glass instead of a blender to avoid making it too thick or foamy. You can also get the unflavored proteins and mix them into your foods and drinks. I will admit that I have never used the unflavored proteins and have no idea what they will do to the flavor and texture of your foods and beverages. I recommend getting a trial pack from bariatriceating.com [she includes IDS and several other brands] and from vitalady.com [she carries the champion whey stack brand]. You can get many different brands at wlssupplies.com at only $1.60 per sample. *and* here are two links for FREE protein samples which were recently provided to us: http://www.womenlivingfit.com http://metroeastwls.com/?pagename=SampleRequest The Stallone Pudding is also quite tasty and has 20 grams of protein in each little can. It comes in four flavors and can be purchased at GNC by the can [like a sampler]. Bariatriceating.com has another brand of protein puddings, but then you got the shipping and handling expense going on there. Additionally, Isopure makes a ready to go clear liquid bottle in various flavors with 40 grams a bottle. It can be sipped an ounce at a time.
