Different Protein Drink Question...



Recommended Posts

Ok I know im supposed to consume 60 to 70 grams of Protein per day and after surgery thats gonna be tough sooo is it better to drink shakes that have 40 grams of protein per 20 ozs OR drink those little shots thatare like 40 + grams per 3.5 ozs?

I could barely stand those Protein Shots even though they sounded like a great idea. I've had them 2 or 3 times, and I don't think I'll do that again. I think some of them might have questionable Protein sources too, so be careful reading your labels.

In our options class we were told the Protein Shots were the wrong type of Protein.< /p>

Those Protein shots are collegan Protein which is made from boiled cow hides.

It's best to get your protein from a high quality whey protein isolate.

The nectar Protein Drinks are good, you mix them with Water and it almost tastes like kool-aid

The Premier Protein shakes (RTD) are the best in my opinion. They are 30g Protein each. i could not stand any of the powdered ones.

A word of caution - Even though the nectar line is fruit flavored, it has a milky appearance when it's mixed with Water. It also tends to foam so it can be a bit off putting. I think it's probably best diluted with more water than is indicated on the package and doctored with something to boost the fruit flavor. I think I'm going to try the grapefruit one over crushed ice.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
