What Protein shake do you drink?



Recommended Posts

Well I didn't buy any Protein Shakes at Sams cause my doctors said they want me to use Slim Fast Optimum or something like that...so I will do what they say and after I get through the preop liquid diet and the healing process then I will try out some of the ones ya'll are using.

We (thats P'Nut and I) use (reluctantly) Optimum Nutrition's (ON) Natural whey.

1 scoop, 1 cup of skim milk. 32g of Protein.

Taste: Choccie is the best, strawberry is ... the next best. vanilla is something you can add stuff into to make it drinkable.

The wife's post op shake O' DOOM (Drink in two sittings, or three):

1 scoop ON whey Protein strawberry

1 Cup of Milk

1 Slim Fast (Vanilla)

1/2 banana.< /p>

Blend and allow to sit in the fridge for an hour or two.

54g of Protein, 502.5 Calories.

Its 'almost' perfect. LOL

Ummmmmm, I love peanut butter...but I have always loved the crunchy type. Guess I will have to switch to creamy! This sounds really good!

I've tried a lot of Protein drinks and, by far, the best-tasting is Syntrax Essence (Vanilla). Sometimes I mix it with a 50/50 ruby-red-grapefuit-and-Water mix but it tastes so good that I often just drink it with Water. I have to be careful not to drink too much because I like the taste so much.

I tried other Protein Drinks suggested here but I didnt like the aftertaste. Syntrax Essence has no aftertaste. And it smells as good as it tastes. You can check out the ingredients, etc at drugstore.com.

Hey can you buy Syntrax at a store, or do you have to order it online?

I buy Syntrax Essence thru www.drugstore.com. I dont know if you can buy it in stores but I'd be surprised if you couldnt find it somewhere. You might try doing a google search to see if there's a Syntrax website. And I think Syntrax may make more than one variety, so be sure to get the Essence. I love the vanilla flavor.

O.K. ya'll,

I love the Designer whey Protein, chocolate. I mix it with chocolate Carb countdown. I freeze 1 cup of the milk the night before, in the morning defrost it in the micro toss it in the blender with a scoop of the protein along with 1/2 a banana. It is as fantastic. It like having a milkshake. I can't wait for Breakfast.< /p>

      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... :(
