I had the Doudenal Switch weight loss surgery. In the beginning i used
Isopure I got it at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. It is thin like water and comes
in glass botttles.
Now I get protein from food but occasionally I use Jay Robb's powder and
like it alot with milk ice & splenda...the vanilla is nice with orange
or cherry or root beer diet soda too!

I'm a new post op and I like unjury so far. Chocolate is the only kind I
drink though.

Try Carnation Instant Breakfast. Sugar free. They are very good.

Unjury is great :) I actually look forward to drinking it! I've had
chocolate, vanilla and strawberry sorbet....I LOVE the strawberry! With
the vanilla sometimes i throw in some bananas or fruit. Reduced fat and
sugar peanut butter too! Carnation instant breakfast sugar free is great
too! I got my entire family hooked on unjury!

I find local brands do not have the taste or have too much sugar. Try
www.unjury.com and they will send samples single servings of their flavors.
Also they make this just for Bariatics and cancer patients.

I drink Nectar sweets by Syntrax. Low sugar, high protein, low carbs, it's
excellent tasting too. I buy Chocolate Truffle.

I just tried a container of Cytosport's "Muscle Milk" that I
found in a container at Target Stores and OMIGOD!!! It tastes like
chocolate cake batter when I mixed it in some unsweetened soymilk...Plus it
is lactose free! The other day I mixed a scoop of the powder with a
tablespoon of soymilk and a little peanutbutter...and it made an AWESOME
spread for water crackers or wholegrain crackers...Delicious! I mix up a
half glass and add sf choco jello mix for one serving...SOOO good! Oh...and
I hate HATE protein powder...
1 Scoop is 16gs of protein...add to milk for extra protein or add two
scoops to water...It mixes really well too...

I think they all taste bad. I use protein capsules. They're called
Capsul-Pro and I get them at www.nashuanutrition.com

I use Unjury. It is medical quality protein and taste great. You can buy
them over the internet at Unjury.com. When you order they send you some
great recipes so you don't get bored. I also used Carnation Instant
Breakfast, sugar free and it taste good also.

I use some that you can get at GNC. It to me is very good, I do them
everyday. The have a orange cream and banana cream that is my favorite. I
had the lapband, but still do not feel I get the right amount of protein in
through eating. I also put them in sugar free vanillia ice cream to make
milkshake. They are great!

Cafe Mocha.

I have not had surgery yet, but I enjoy VitaLady. You can have it mailed to
you + they have sample packs. Very inexpensive versus full size
containers.Find it here: www.vitalady.com. They also have un-flavored.

Hi Brandi,
I am 4 months out from LAP RNY and I drink Worldwide Nutrition Pure
Protein. I get it at Trader Joes. I think it tastes like Chocolate
SlimFast. Not as gritty as alot of the protein drinks out there. It has 35
grams of protien per 12 oz. Its my favorite. HTH!

I like the muscle milk. I buy it in the individual cartons by the case at
Costco. It taste great. My kids always want a taste of it and love it too.
The powder isn't as good alone, but is much better when i add a little
splenda and instant coffee granules and ice then mix in the blender. But it
does mix very well and not gritty. I also really like Weight Watchers
Smoothie with fat free milk. VERY GOOD. Slim Fast "Low carb" in
the can is very good too. I am 11 days post-op and i'm enjoying the protein
shake phase very much. They keep me full and satisfied. So far i've lost 16
lbs. Good luck and God bless.

I had the same problem. I could not stomach the taste of protein drinks.
I now use Syntrax- nectars Fuzzy Navel flavor. It is WONDERFUL! I mix it
in crystal light orange drink and enjoy. It is a great breakfast protein.
You can get it at several places, but the cheapest I found was at
www.vitalady.com They even have samples so you do not have to spend a
fortune to see if you like it. GOOD LUCK!

Another little known but wonderful protein option is found at GNC or online
at instonenutrition.com. Tastes great. 6.4 oz, 100 cals, 20g protein.
Completely portable - I even keep a can in the car! Choc, van, banana.
Try it. I lived on it for quite some time after surgery and still use it 2
years out.
