Gastric Bypass and Lap-Band patients need to get in their protein, which can be a difficult task without the help of protein heavy shakes and foods.

Here are some of our favorite proteins:

The Clear Liquids

So you are in the clear liquid phase just after surgery or you just want a cool refreshing
non-carbonated drink thats a good source of protein. Try some of these.

Isopure Zero Carb, 20 oz. Pineapple Orange Banana – 12/Case

My Favorite!

Isopure Zero Carb, 20 oz. Blue Raspberry – 12/Case

Bonnie’s Favorite

Isopure Zero Carb, 20 oz. Alpine Punch – 12/Case

Isopure Zero Carb, 20 oz. Grape Frost – 12/Case

Isopure Zero Carb, 20 oz. Mango Peach – 12/Case

Can’t get in 20 ounces of fluid? Theres always the 3 oz. shots. They have 42 grams of protein per bullet and are small enough to take on a plane.

IDS New Whey 42g Protein Variety 36-pack

They fit in your purse or glove compartment and get you about half of your daily proteins (everyone’s
protein needs vary).

The Powders

Powders are a good source of protein on the go. Just add water or milk and you’ve got a thin shake.
Blend in some ice for something a little thicker. You can also experiment with fruits, yogurts and sugar
free syrups to get some interesting flavors.

We LOVE the Isopure brand. Other “lactose free” powders have flared up
Bonnie’s lactose intolerance but
Isopure doesn’t. It has the most proteins per serving than any other low sugar/carb powder we’ve
seen out there so far and, when it’s difficult getting in enough protein, that will come in handy.

Isopure Vanilla Powder

Vanilla is great on its own but its even better as a base for other mix and match flavors.

Isopure Dutch Chocolate Powder

Chocolate lovers look out. This stuff is great if you love chocolate.

The Foods

Who wants to be drinking their protein all day when there are some delicious high protein/low sugar
and carb foods now available? Here are some of our favorites.

Dymatize Nutrition Elite High Protein Cereal, Cocoa Snaps, 7-Count Single Serve Packets

Dymatize Nutrition Elite High Protein Cereal, Raisins & Crunchy Clusters, 7-Count Single Serve Packets

Dymatize Nutrition Elite High Protein Cereal, Tropical Loops, 7-Count Single Serve Packets

Beef Jerky – High protein, lean fat… the best stuff ever invented. Keep an eye on sugars as some
jerky is glazed with brown sugar – like most teriyaki flavored jerky.

Protein Bars – Again avoid those high in carbs and sugars. There are so many protein bars to choose
from I’m still trying them all. I’ll post a few favorites shortly.
