FAVORITE PROTEIN DRINK AND BAR



Recommended Posts

HI,

My surgery is this Friday. So NERVOUS! :unsure:

I want to have some ideas for Protein drinks and BARS that you all have tried and like. Obviously I have been advised to go with HIGH Protein and low sugar and carbs.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! :D

I use MUSCLE MILK LIGHT If you type that in the Internet, you can hit some nice prices.

Don't buy chocolate though, it's lousy.

I like Peanut Butter chocolate

chocolate milk

strawberry milkshake

Cookies n cream

vanilla creme

all thes are lights. So that's 195 calories, 25G of Protein.

This is some good stuff, and I have a shake everyday.

The bars you can look at, at the stores.

I don't know if you want a Meal Replacement bar,

which is High in calories, and Protein. These are

at your Pharmacy chains usually. Or low cal., but

not that high in protein. Walmarts sells Atkins.< /p>

There pretty good.

I read them like a candy bar, so I know what I like.

But then I look at the calories too, if to much...

It goes back for something else.

Have Fun in the stores shopping, look for sales too.

Shirley.

I have also been trying different shakes with my upcoming Band day. I discovered that I am lactose intolerant!! So I only buy lactose free shakes now. GNC total lean is GREAT n strawberry & cream flavor!!! It really tastes like strawberry milk- NO after taste at all! Muscle Milk light vanilla is good. I have only tried premade. I tried GNC total lean vanilla and added a little teaspoon of ff/ sg cheesecake pudding mix and DElisih!!! Hope this helps! Good Luck with ur Surgery!!

The other ones that I named by MUSCLE MILK LIGHT are very good also. I love the STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE. I am Lactose intolerant also, that's another reason that I drink MUSCLE MILK LIGHT, In powder form.

I do the pudding thing all the time, it's great ! I also use Cottage cheese, and sprinkle a tsp. and a 1/2 over the cottage cheese. Stir it well. You don't even taste the cottage cheese do to the S.F. Pudding

Google Muscle Milk Light and a lot of places will come up to sell them .I go with the cheapest, and free shipping.

It's worth a look.

Just to throw in my vote, I really love the Perfect Zero Carb Isopure Cookies and Cream. Mixed with the Hood Fat-Free Low Calorie 'milk' and some ice, it's delicious! Also, 1g fat, no carbs, and 50g Protein. Fills me up and leaves some carbs left for the rest of the day!

Yes. I really like the Isopure shakes. I try to mix up the zero carb ones with some with carbs so I feel more satiated. I had my surgery last Monday, and have been drinking the Isopure shakes since then. Along with the Cookies and cream I mentioned above, I really like their Dutch chocolate (low carb), and their chocolate Mint (zero carb). I didn't particularly care for their fruit Punch (zero carb). One thing I really like about the 'mix-it-yourself' Isopure shakes, is that they taste great with Water or milk (albeit skim, or the Carb Conscience Hood Fat Free Milk). Good luck and enjoy!

Congrats on ur upcoming surgery. I am 2 weeks post op and I have really struggled with finding a Protein shake that I like. I think I have spent a small fortune in the last 6 weeks on Protein. Jay Robb vanilla has been the best tasting by far. I just went to GNC this weekend and found some Protein drinks made by Isopure. They are like fruit juices. I like the fruit punch the best. They have several flavors. I like the idea of these because Im not one to eat or drink anything as soon as I get up so I like that I can grab it out of the fridge and take it with me to work and drink it throughout the day.

I have tried and still use the Body Fortress from Walmart. It is relatively inexpensive. As for bars, I like the supreme bars (I can sometimes find at Walmart but you can order from the website._

I am 2 weeks post op. I drink chocolate Unjury with splenda. I use almond milk and I add Sugar Free Chocolate Hersey's Syrup. It gets a small nutty taste with the chocolate. I love drinking my protein:)

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
