Surgery Date 7/11/2016 Potein Shakes and Popsicles

Hi RNY'ers

I am having my surgery for RNY 7/11/2016 any suggestions on Protein shakes?

Also, I have bad dry mouth and once I go home I was wondering if anyone has any idea on any popsicle I can have or even make myself ?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

protein shakes are all really subjective.  I have personally liked the Quest brand shakes.  You can get the powder online or at GNC.  They also sell single serve packs so you can try the different flavors.

Unfortunately, I was never able to find a sugar free Popsicle readily available in my area, so I just did without them.  If you have trouble finding them, you could always freeze some crystal light or other calorie free drinks. 

congrats on the surgery date!

Thank You for getting back to me much appreciated

Sugar free Popsicles ( tropical are my faves ) but any are great... And premier protein shakes are life savers for me, 2 weeks out . 

Found my sugar free pops at Walmart 

Thank You so much Ill have to check out walart on protein shakes and pops

Be sure and share your positive experience with Premier shakes with other members by leaving a review.  Here is the link

you should be able to have any type of sugar free popsicle.  I ate them all the time after surgery (still do occasionally if I have a sugar craving at night).

and the person above is right - protein shakes are very subjective.  I personally like Syntrax and Unjury products - but everyone is different.  Also, your taste in shakes can change after surgery.  I'd just get a bunch of samples and see which ones you like.  That way you're not stuck with a big 2 lb tub of something you hate.  The stuff is not cheap!

? how do I go about getting samples ?

Unjury has them on their Web site (they have a "starter kit" that includes a blender bottle and kitchen thermometer along with single-serving packets - or you can scroll down and just order a bunch of packets):

You can get Syntrax samples from several places.  I got mine directly from Syntrax - but here's a thread that names more places where yu can get them:

those are the only two companies I ordered samples from because I'd heard a lot of positive things about their products - but it seems I've seen samples from different vendors at Vitamin Shoppe.  Places like GNC may carry samples as well.
