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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
