Hi all... I am currently on day 3 out of 5 of my pre op liquid diet. I bought some a c ouple of packs of Smoothie King Gladiator Protein Powder the other day and tried one for breakfast this morning. I am in love. This is the first protein powder that I have tried so far that I can actually say I enjoy drinking. BUT when I bought it I asked the young lady in the store if this is whey protein because that is what I know I need. She said that it is not whey protein but Smoothie king's special protein which digests like whey protein????
 
Since I like this stuff so much I would make this my primary protein but before I waste my money I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if this is acceptable for us. Does anyone currently use this stuff and is it working out for you post op? 

My new birthday/surgery date is 4/6/11 and I am just ttrying to get all of my ducks in a row. Thank in advance for your help

check this link out as it says it's whey isolate, so that's the best whey. The bottom link talks about how the powder can be used for bypass patients. Good to find good powders, right?

Thank you so much for the info..I am so glad that this will work. It really does taste great and after about a month taste testing trying to find a good fit for me this is a relief. Some if the stuff out there is really disgusting. I had no idea.

Gladiator was on my recommended list from the doctor.  I have 3 family members that work for smoothie king, so I will have to get them to give me some samples of the 3 flavors.  Which flavor did you like?

Thanks Jenny

I am 11 months out and would not have made it without Smoothie King.  My second week out, someone posted on here about it and I have been going every since!  I tried making it myself, but mine did not taste as good as the one they make for me!  I love it!!!  And it works for me!  Hope you enjoy it and that it works for you!!!  Good luck on your surgery!!! :-)
