Favorite already made protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

Starting my dr supervised 6 month before band diet today. She wants me to drink a Protein Shake every day for Breakfast. 18-20 grams of Protein. I know powder will be cheaper but I would like to have some already made up ones on hand for when I'm running late or don't feel like getting the blender out. Any suggestions?

Also, most of the recipes I've seen on here call for the blender. Anyone have any that you would just shake up in a Blender Bottle?

Thanks!

Premier Protein - chocolate. I buy them at costco, but I'm sure you can find them somewhere close to where you live. Here is a link to their website.

Hi, yep i get the Premier Protein chocolate shakes at Sam's Club. Good for on the go but i prefer the wey Protein Powder from Wal-mart mixed with unsweetened almond milk better. Tried chocolate Peanut Butter first now ready to open vanilla flavor. I always add a banana or frozen berries in too. You may want to just go ahead an keep ur blender out handy cause it will be used often. good luck :)

Before I left the hospital, when I got the band, they gave me high Protein Carnation Instant Breakfast. Not the best, but had worse. They had to make sure I could hold it down, I guess. I use a small Hamilton Beach blender that is under $20. at Target/Walmart and it is also the drinking cup.

Good luck with your new journey.

I can tolerate the Pure Protein Shakes RTD from Wal-Mart of Target. They have 23 grams of Protein. They are in an aluminum "bottle" can. I twist off the cap then replace and then I shake them up. This prevents a mess if you shake and then open. Some say there is a can taste but they are pretty good and convenient. It's only 120 calories. I like the Frosty chocolate. They are about $6 or $7 for 4 cans.

I like muscle milk,, it's a good taste.. GNC also sells some shakes that are pretty good... I haven't ventured into the whey Protein powder yet .. I don't use Protein Drinks much anymore.. only when I get a fill or if I am on the go... I heard the premier or premium brand is good also but our Walmart doesn't carry them.

I use Body Fortress from Walmart. I mix 8 oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk with one scoop. I don't even use a blender anymore, just one of those blender ball bottles.< /p>

I use 2 scoops of Body Fortress but I do use a blender and tons of ice.

A friend of mine who had sleeve surgery in December and works on the road every week gave me a great tip. He went to the dollar store and bought a handful of small juice bottles - 12 oz size (to accommodate shaking and ice). He makes a batch of drinks in the morning, fills his cooler with the bottles he needs for the day (or two), and is on his merry way. When he's ready for one he can choose to add ice and shake some more or just sip on one as he's driving. It's more cost effective than buying the premade ones and he can make the flavors he likes that aren't sold in individual ready-to-drink varieties. Great idea if you work on the road or are traveling during the Protein Drink phase. I bought a few of the bottles to take with me on our all-day fishing trips. Also took one the other day when the hubby and I went to the casino for a few hours. He had lunch while we were there, I had my shake. Worked perfectly!

I like the EAS Carb advantage shakes. I add sugar free Syrup flavors for different tastes. I am extremely picky about taste and texture.

I like the EAS Carb advantage shakes.

I have been drinking these for a year and a half. Haven't tired of the chocolate ones yet. Tried the vanilla and strawberry but they didn't taste good to me.

      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... :(
