Help Me Find A Protein Supplement That I Like!



Recommended Posts

The premier shakes are really good. I have tried both choc and vanilla. The choc taste better to me.

I do not like the premiere shakes - I have only tried vanilla though, and it took almost 2 hours to drink it.

I have had a hard time finding a shake that I like. The other day I was riding around a town a couple towns away and saw a complete nutrition store. I decided to check it out. I told the guy what I was looking for and he led me to some huge Protein powder bottles. I asked if they had any little packets I could buy before I bought this huge thing and didn't like it.

He said I could try some in the store, or he could send me home with a couple samples. I opted for the take home samples. He gave me two full size scoop samples to take home, he put them in really nice reusable cups with lids.

He also said that he prefers his to be made the night before and kept in the fridge. I went home and gave it a try. Made it the night before. He gave me a sample of "Reclaim Smart Smoothies" one in chocolate mint and the other mocachino (sp?) latte. I'm not a coffee fan so I tried this first. OMG it was so good. No aftertaste at all! Really did taste good with not a strong coffee taste at all. I was thrilled, so tried the chocolate mint the next day. Even better!!! So good!

I know there are other Protein drinks out there that have much more Protein (this had 20 grams plus the 8 from my milk), but I can't and don't enjoy the other ones. But these are by far the best I have had - they are also expensive, 39.99 for a 1.5 pound container, but they have coupons online for 10 off 40.

Next time I go in I'm going to try some non-chocolate ones.

The yogurt one sounds good, but, being only 6 weeks post op, I couldn't eat a cup of anything if I tried. lol

Yes, at six weeks, I used 1/2 cup yogurt. It took about 45 minutes to get it down.

I can't stomach even the thought of any dessert flavored Protein. And the bubbles from the unflavored are just as bad. I'm just picking high protein foods to get to my goal protein. I really wish I could find something i could tolerate. Right now homemade frappuchinos are my morning Protein Shake.< /p>

The bad breath could be a side-effect from the higher Protein diet (ketosis). I have also been struggling with getting in enough Protein. I have tried Syntrax, Isopure, Premier, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Chike, GoTo Lean Body and a few others. I am just starting the puréed and can only get 2 tablespoons down.

What is working for me right now is Braum's fat-free milk (they pull Water out & add extra dry milk) which gives it 13 grams of protein in 8 ounces; add unflavored Isopure powder (28 grams protein) & whatever flavor I want. sugar-free puddings, SF Jello, Torani syrups, etc. plus I mix & let sit in the frig overnight or at least 2 hours. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
