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 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... :(
