Protein shake recommendations



Recommended Posts

Slim Fast has a CRAP TON of sugar in it. That's why it tastes good. You might try adding a packet of Splenda to whatever you use. I like the Cytosport whey Protein Powder at costco. But it's only available in a huge bag for like $50. You could also try blending it with frozen fruit and crushed ice. And lastly, it's a mind game. You have to tell yourself it's not going ro taste like slim fast or chocolate milk.

For me, it's not necessarily the sweet taste of slim fast, it's not having that powdery feel to it that Protein Drinks have. That's what I'm looking for, something that's lacking that feel.

Amazon has Syntrax for $32.41 (2lb). It's a little less expensive than bariatric pantry & it qualifies for Super Saver (or Prime if you have it) shipping. You can get it even cheaper (30.79) if you do Subscribe & Save. I LOVE their Cappuccino flavor. Fuzzy Naval is also good.

I use http://www.bariatricchoice.com to order my Protein Drinks and Snacks from. This is the only place I have found that is affordable and taste great.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
