What are good protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

I have tried both Bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. I liked the vanilla from advantage. It didn't have a funky aftertaste in my opinion. I like the orange creme. It reminds me of a dreamsicle ice cream pop. I purchased the fusion on that because I got it from the doc's office(they are actually switching from fusion to advantage). Anyway, the orange was kinda mild in the shake, so I added a little sunshine orange crystal light and it adds the pop of orange flavor which is great.

Anyway, I hope you find something you like!

One Protein option I found today was unflavored. I added it to chicken broth, and didn't notice anything distasteful or nasty. No artificial flavor, no sugar, no sweetener, and not bad. I reached my limit on chocolate flavored stuff and needed some alternatives.

Just keep in mind that your surgeon might not want you using them all the time. I bought a bunch of the stuff only to find out that my surgeon wants me eating my calories, not drinking them. Oh well.

:)

Yeah, my surgeon says no Protein shakes but my nutritionist (given to me by him, mind you) says I must!! LOL LOL LOL :mad3:

I just drink 'em anyways and having no problem now losing weight... I guess it is different for everyone.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
