Protein shakes- UGH!!!



Recommended Posts

OK, I stated my preop diet and am heavily relying on Protein Shakes now. This leads me to the question: Which ones taste good? I've tried several, and they range from OK to revolting. There has got to be some that are a little more palatable, and I'm sure my fellow message board members know which ones they are. C'mon, guys- hook a girl up! :)

Are you doing the HMR800?, I like both the vanilla and chocolate, mix with Water and shake it up in my GNC shaker.< /p>

I'm loving my Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly. Each scoop is 20g of protein, 130 cal and 4 carbs. It's a little pricey but I like the taste of it. Cheap or expensive, protein that doesn't taste good is protein you will not drink.

Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard, Caramel Toffee

This is the best Protein I've ever had. I've gone through 3 2lb tubs already (had to restart 2 week pre op diet 12 days in).

Get it on Amazon at GNC if you need it immediately. All of their stuff tastes pretty good.

I got very tired of the shakes and now drink the Protein H2O its really good, it's from the Muscle Milk Products. It's a little expensive but I figure I'm saving a lot of money by not going out to eat.

I found an awesome product at bariatriceating.com. today was my first day to use it so i was a bit nervous. but you go their site and click on shop and Protein powders. it is called BE Pure Isolate Protein. IT HAS NO FLAVOR AND NO TEXTURE. No Fat no or low carbs (i dont have the package in front of me). It mixes with anything. I promise. i drank it with chicken broth for lunch today and it turned it a little milky but no bad taste or grit. I praised God for this. Cause i did not want to drink a RTD shake. they are too thick and too sweet. please give this site a try. they have other flavors also. But i know that i would not make it through this pre-op plan without it. Good luck !

sorry to say this but I could not find one Protein Drink that i liked. I hated everyone of them. I skipped them completely and said if i become protein deficient, oh well. it was only a week> Good luck

34 grams of Protein, 160 cal. 2 carbs

I have tried the chocolate, vanilla, Strawberries & Bananas.

For a pre-mixed Protein drink I like EAS, chocolate. Have not tried the vanilla. Put it in a blender with some ice and not bad at all. I drink it straight out of the bax to. Give it a try, I don't think you will be sorry. My Dr. said no Mussell Milk, not sure why.

I'm on my pre op liquid diet and I'm using Natures Best Zero Carb Isopure Protein Powder. I have only tried the vanilla so far but I throw half a frozen banana in it and it isn't too bad. It is after all a Protein powder so don't expect it to taste fantastic. They do have other flavors I plan to try. I picked the Isopure because 2 scoops give you 50g of protein. That is the biggest amount of protein of any of the powders I looked at and since we supposedly need 60g to 80g of protein per day I figured that was the biggest bang for the buck. A 3lb tub is around $37.00 and you can check online for the cheapest place. Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
