OhYeah! Protein Drinks



Recommended Posts

Ok...so I really like these! The 14 oz. bottle has 32 g's of Protein.

Has anyone else tried these?

Are they are good choice for a Protein Drink?

I also really like the Muscle Milk Light Protein powder.

I'm trying to find alternatives to my one and only that I like the best that I get at my surgeon's office. That is PrescriptFit Lactose Free chocolate powder. One scoop mixes with 6 oz. of Water and has 14 g's of Protein.

Thoughts on the OhYeah! RTD shakes and the Muscle Milk Light powder?

I got them at GNC.< /p>

I did find them at several places online as well but I wanted to make sure it was an OK source of Protein before I ordered a few cases of it!

I tried looking it up on GNC website. Is it whey isolate? I only see that it says whey Protein. Is that the same?

Here's the actual product label.

Milk Protein, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Calcium Caseinate is listed as the protein blend. While whey isolate is the most preferred, I was cleared to use a similar product with Whey Concentrate as the primary source. This does have excellent carb:protein ratio of 4:32.

I like the Oh Yeah Protein Bars. I didn't even know they had a RTD protein.

She told me it wasn't the best thing to drink..that it had a little too much calories. But...2 scoops of my prescriptfit powder gives me 220 calories and 28 g of Protein in about 12 oz. of Water.

The OhYEah! is a 14 oz. bottle..although they do have 8 oz bottles also.

She also said she'd prefer I find something with isolate over concentrate.

It figures the one I really LIKE is the one I really shouldn't have!

The only one I ever liked was a mix of isolate and concentrate. My surgeon told me, some is better than none. I didn't use it much at all, and didn't find it until I was 4 months out so I was already getting my Protein from food sources. The husband uses it as a protein supplement when he works out.

All the ones that taste good of course can't be the ones that they want us to drink.

I'll get back on my band wagon. The Isopure flavored drink that comes in a six pack of different flavors, is 40 grams of Protein, zero carbs, 160 calories,and 20 oz. I pour half a bottle, 10 oz, and that gives me 20 grams of protein with only 80 calories. It's a great supplement to my protein. But, some people don't like the tart taste. If you like starbursts candy, that you'll like this. It makes your tongue pucker a bit.

I love the oh yeah Protein bars. I get the choc. mint and the choc. Peanut Butter at vitacost.com. I figure it's better than eating candy, even though it tastes like you're eating candy. I didn't know they made a RTD Protein Drink. I say if you like them, drink them. It's better than not getting in enough Protein.< /strong>

I get the RTD muscle milk light at

costco.I really like that too.

Ewwwwwwwwww, not arguing, but I couldn't stand Isopuke ha ha ha. I love me some Starbursts though. :o It did more than make my tongue pucker.

I wanted to like it, I wanted to be able to chug it, or even freeze it anything. I tried so hard to like it, but I think I'm the most stubborn, pickiest protein hater in the world.

You can get a case of muscle milk light at costco for around $22. I really like it!

I am only 7 days post op but I had O yeah before surgery. I does have a more sugar but it tastes good and has a lot of Protein.

So far all of them make me gag. Isopure taste terrible to me. I mix it with diet ocean spray juice and freeze to eat as a popsicle. I can't even stand nectar which most people like.

I would stay away from Muscle Milk it is supposed to have high levels of heavy metals in it

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
