Question:
I am 7 weeks p. op. Looking for a thin consistency protein drink. The ones I am using
are too thick and I prefer thinner, milk like consistency. Also, does anyone drink with their meals, especially if it is just a snack or small meal. I was told not to but I THINK it is only because it fills you up soo much with a full meal. THANKS — [Anonymous] (posted on August 15, 2001)

There are MANY on the market that mix up in water, low volume, high
protein, low sugar, very thin.

MEEEEEE TOO!! I hate those nasty thick ones. I finally settled on
AdvantEdge (EAS) in chocolate and strawberry. I used the premixed because
they were very smooth. I mixed them with a little milk because they seemed
a little too thin, believe it or not. I just tried Isopure today and it is
good. It tastes like koolaid, but has 40 g of protein in 20 oz. Again, I
used the premixed in glass bottles. The AdvantEdge you can get at
WalMart/KMart. The Isopure you either have to order online or get at a
sports nutrition store like GNC. I, too have a hard time not drinking with
meals, but I try not to because it liquifies the food and empties my pouch
to fast. I also won't absorb as many of the nutrients. It is hard, but I
TRY not to drink more than a few swallows with my meal. Good luck to you!

I just add more water to my shakes anyway because I like them thinner too.
The one I have asks for 2 scoops of powder and I only use one with double
the water it asks for. Tastes good too. It's called Extreme Whey pro
performance from GNC. The thing I like about gnc is that I get a 20%
discount with the gold card (ask for it) and if I don't like the product
they will refund me (30 day limit) or exchange it for another no questions
asked. Another good thing about GNC is any vitamin and supplement that is
their store brand is always buy one get the second half off.....add the 20%
discount and I'm laughing. Good luck

ISOPURE is great.. its more of a fruity clear drink. You can get it a GNC
or some Gym's with pro shops sell it. I love it.

I like Designer Strawberry. I mix up 2 scoops of this with 8 oz. of Crystal
Lite. I think it is very good and it's thin, like strawberry milk. I can't
stand the thick ones either.

Pro-Complex from GNC is a great protein drink to mix with water. It has 55
grams of protein in one serving, and has no carbs and no fats.

I use the Optimum Whey from GNC. I mix one scoop with 8 oz of water and a
few ice cubes. It is pretty thin. I has 22g of protein per scoop. I drink
the choclate flavor, not bad.
I agree with the other poster get the gold card from GNC, nice discount!

I too think ISOPURE is a good protien drink. I have tried Dutch Chocolate
and Strawberries and Creme. Preferred the choc. best. It is found at GNC
and is kind of expensive. The individual servings are 3.50 each.

I am pre-op. During my nutritional consult, the nutritionist told me that
there were 2 main reasons not to drink with or immediately after meals.
One, it washed food out of the pounch too quickly, and you would get
hungrier faster. Two, the liquid would move the food through your system
too quickly and might/would cause dumping.

Anne,
I drink Pro-Complex, a protein drink that can be purchased at GNC. It
comes in chocolate and vamilla. It mixes easily, is not grainy, and is
thin. It has 55 grams of protein per 8 oz. serving, with no carbs, sugars,
or fats. I like it quite well. Hope this helps. Good luck. Kay
