One of the hardest things that I find that patients have difficulty
with is getting enough protein. Most surgeons suggest that you get
about 60 to 100 grams of protein a day. This takes planning. Anyone
have any suggestions on how they get their protein intake in regularly

Hi Dr:
The protein drink is so important to the band process. There are so
many drinks out there; some of them taste like mud or have a funny
after taste. One question I ask my patients is "what is your favorite
protein drink?" Kinda like a "poll" for protein drinks. The top
runners are...Carnation Instant Breaksfast Sugar free Chocolate and
Strawberry Atkins. Both are sugar free. They can be whipped up with
ice, frozen etc...The protein drink is a great way to get in breakfast
to get your metabolism going and because the band is tighter in the
morning (due to temperature) and its easier to get down a drink rather
then solids.
So my question to you all today are: "what is your favorite (sugar
free) protein drink ?"

I have found that most patients like the Costco Premier Protein Shakes
that is pre-made. It is loaded with protein and has only one gram of
sugar. Also, Isopure makes a great high protein low sugar protein
shake that comes in both power form and premixed. They have a lot
more flavors than just chocolate or vanilla.
Anybody else have any suggestions.
