Question:
Do we have to drink with milk with protein powders?
I am getting tried of drinking milk. Special K have liquid drinks with small amounts of protein. Other than shakes and food, is protein from other drinks okay? — Toby2 (posted on September 24, 2008)

All doctors are different, my nut wants me off protein drinks and such,
try to get your protein from food.

Per my doctor I am never suppose to drink milk EVER. Milk turns to sugar
and not allowed at all.

It is better to get protein from a protein drink, than not enough. I am 10
mo. out and still cannot eat much. I have many friends 2 and 3 years out,
that still have at least one Protein drink of some kind a day. Some
people, like myself can't eat in the mornings. I like Slim-fast low carb.
It is 180 calories, very low sugar and 20grams of protein. It comes in a
variety of flavors. You can get it at Wal-mart. Just be sure it is the
(low carb variety) Not the optimum. I consider that a meal!! Mid
morning, I have a meat (like ham or turkey cold-cuts) and cheese roll up.
Later a yogert, later some cottage cheese, then a meat with hi protein side
dish, like pintos or limas for dinner. Sometimes a have a spoonful of
peanut-butter for a snack. If I have a day that I just haven't eaten
enough, I will have another slimfast before bed. Special K protein water
can't hurt to add to the overall protein count, but don't rely on that as a
meal. I Hope this helps and good luck.

I drink the Atkins Advantage Shakes every morning because I just can't eat
in the mornings even before surgery. The powder drinks, I couldn't get
them up to my nose and my doctor told me to use the Atkins Advantage Shakes
(premix), they have 15 grams protein, 1 gram of sugar and 2 net carbs.
They come in a lot of flavors and they taste great. You can get them at
Walmart, Target, some Pharmacies (cheaper at Walmart). The South Beach
Tide me over drinks also have protein and fiber. Diane

I can't drink milk anymore (before surgery I could never get enough). I
LOVE THE K2O PROTEIN WATER! I think starting to drink that is what started
me losing weight again. They also have an awesome protein bar! It beats
those terrible protein shakes. Try them and I think you'll be happily
surprised... I was!!!

You can try Unjury Chicken Soup. It's like drink chicken bouillon and
doesn't smell of whey like most drinks do. Another great product, in my
opinion, is the Nectar products. Visit www.enjoyhealth.com and you can
order samples by calling them. The number is on the website. The samples
are $1.89 each plus shipping. They have several great flavors. My
favorites are Roadside Lemonade, Lemon Tea, Crystal Sky, and Apple Esctasy.
But remember, everyone's tastes are different after surgery, from what I
am told. My surgery isn't until 10/07/2008 and am counting down the days,
with each day getting more anxious and scared. I am having the Realize
Band.

Isopure flavored water (fruit punch, etc.) have 40 grams of protein in a 20
oz bottle. Tastes a bit like Crystal Light. You can get them at The
Vitamin Shoppe and online. Might not be the best way your doc wants you to
get in all your protein but at least you can make a start or supplement
what you're taking in in other ways. Good luck!

I can't drink milk now. I use GNC 100% whey protein and that is mixed with
water. I also use the New Whey protein bulletts. it is only 3 oz and 42
grams of protien.

I just add water to the protien powder. I use both UNJURY and EAS. I
usually add splenda to the EAS, as it's not quite sweet enough for my
taste, but it is less expensive, you can get it at Costco, a 6# bag is $35,
for 78 servings. I have used the UNJURY Chicken Soup, but quit drinking it,
it taste like bouilion cubes, plus it is waaaay to salty.
