Tried My First Protein Shake Today



Recommended Posts

OMG, it was awful! Will I ever get used to these things. I've yet to commit to surgery and I'm trying out any number of things right now. I have to admit that the shake filled me up and left me more satisfied than most meals I've ever eaten but the scent and texture did not go well. BTW, it was a Bariatric Advantage Iced Latte flavor Meal Replacement.< /p>

I've been drinking EAS vanilla (2 scoops) mixed with about a tablespoon of instant coffee granules, a big splash of sugar-free amaretto flavored Syrup and crushed ice. I blend it in the blender and then drink it through a straw. The coffee is strong enough to kill the Protein taste and smell. It's pretty good. If you get enough crushed ice in it, you're golden. The problem is that you can only stand to drink it for so many days before you start getting sick of it.

I tried Body Fortress that so many people rave about and it was DISGUSTING to me. It was chalky, gritty and just gross. The smell was great but that's all I can say about it.

That sounds pretty good.

I think I'm going to give those Isopure drinks a shot and see what they're about. Can you buy them individually somewhere or do you have to buy them by the case?

Hi Rainbo, I just tried those isopure an to me they are gross also. To thick,gritty with an after taste. Not as bad as the powders but gross to me non the less. I am going to try and Water it down and see if that helps.

This evening I tried the unjury chocolate Splendor. I didn't think it was going to fill me, but it totally did, and it was pretty tasty with no weird aftertaste or grit. I love chocolate though, so I might be a little biased. I had purchased the starter kit, so I could sample the different flavors. I'm hoping I like the others ones as well, so I can have some variety.

I guess just try different things and hopefully you'll find something you like. Nothing is more annoying than having to completely change you diet and hate what you are changing it to. Good luck! :)

I tried the Isopure zero carb Water today and liked it. I tried the passion fruit flavor and the bottle is 20 Oz and it has 40 grams of Protein. Im still sipping on it but it is going down well.

I have an Unjury starter pack and have tried several with favorable results. The vanilla I had this morning was excellent, had no unpleasant aftertaste and kept me full until In & Out Burger opened and I had my double/double, animal style (no spread)/protein style (wrapped in lettuce, no bun). For those of you that live in the vicinity of an In & Out ordering "protein style" is a perfect way to get some lean beef, cheese, pickles and a Tomato slice wrapped in lettuce. "Animal Style" gets a bunch of grilled onions but I'd recommend specifying no spread; the spread basically being Thousand Island dressing.

      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! 😞

      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.
