Getting prepared...what protein shakes do you like?



Recommended Posts

Don't know WHY my info packet has the Boost (high protein) shakes, they are SO sweet!!! But those are the best I've found. I've also tried: Atkins, Special K, and the already-made from GNC <~~~~gross!!

"Do you have the bariatric foodie cookbook? Is it worthwhile?"

I did purchase the kindle version because I collect cook books and I have already used it. However you do not need to purchase it if money is tight. Every recipe is on her website.

Try a mix. The premade are ok but you can tweak the powders and make them better. I use Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein (get it from Walmart) and the Protein Shake recipes from the bariatricfoodie.com website.

Thanks everyone for all of your comments and suggestions. Just thought I'd let everyone know where I landed...

I tried ready to drink muscle milk light - chocolate. It's ok.

Isopure in the glass bottle - most flavored I tried were ok. Both this and the muscle milk will be great go-tos when I'm on the road for work. :)

I tried the nectar brand (lemonade and fuzzy navel). The lemonade is ok, I'm not too crazy about the fuzzy navel. It is nice to have something that's not chocolate, vanilla, etc.

I also tried two powder-to-go packets from Nectar as well, vanilla tarte and chocolate. Both, again, are ok but not as thick as the other Protein Shakes so it felt strange drinking them.

Designer whey and EAS I've tried before. Eh.

Finally, I got the Unjury starter kit and will try both the chocolate and vanilla today (am doing 2 shakes a day in prep for banding). Kind of excited to try them!

Am also going to check out the bariatric foodie cookbook as was recommended on this thread.

Thanks again for all of the feedback. You guys are great and I'm so happy I found LBT. I have learned more from this site than I have anywhere else!

I like those too. I noticed a BIG difference with my weight when I started drinking those. So I'm going back to mixing my own shakes from the powder.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
