Just Can't Drink these Shakes!



Recommended Posts

What is the consistancy of unjury shakes? Are they thick or more thin like liquid?

The chocolate is just like chocolate milk, but they also have strawberry which you mix with Water, so it is more like Kool-aid.

Have you all tried Isopure Water? I wont say it's good but will say it is better than shakes! Or at least a break from the shakes. They have 45 gams of Protein per bottle. Lots of fruit flavors...punch, grape, peach, even orange cream soda.

Some people put it in a blender 2/ice and say it tastes like a slurpee-havent tried that yet.

Right now im using this shake called fitsmart, my mom had got it and until i finish it she isnt buying anything else. I plan on using the optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard as well or Designer whey Protein they both have veryyyy high ratings and supposedly don't taste bad.

Im using 2 scoops of Protein Powder 1/4 banana 4 oz of low fat milk and ice. Sometimes I put a litttle bit of Peanut Butter in it. It's delicious.

In regards to Peanut Butter there is a product called PB2 which I use in my shakes (post op). I think the only place to buy it is online (some gyms sell it that's where my sister first bought it). They press out most of the oil from the peanut and then grind up the peanuts to a powder. Significantly reduces the calories/fat content and tastes pretty good in a chocolate Protein Shake.< /p>

I ended up with Syntrax Nectar in Cappuccino, Iso-100 in Gourmet chocolate, and IsoFlex in Chocolate Peanut Butter. I also bought a bunch of single serve packets in flavors like lemonade, cherry, pina colada, dreamsicle. Jay Robb powders are chunky, no matter what I did to them. You can get them in a fitness nutrition store, not GNC.< /p>

I like to combine a scoop of Cappucino with a half scoop of chocolate, and it tastes like a mocha frapp. Low cal, NO SUGAR, and I'm pretty sure no carbs.

I also mix it up between using Skim Plus milk (tastes like 2%) and vanilla Silk (soy milk)

Everyone's tastes are different, I only liked unjury's chocolate, the rest nauseated me.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
