Help Me Find A Protein Supplement That I Like!



Recommended Posts

The smell of chocolate anything is starting to make me sick. I'm 4 weeks out and still on full liquids and I'm slowly losing the Protein battle.

Today my shake kept coming up to almost my throat on me.

I don't think I can handle another chocolate anything for a while.

I have been using the Pure Protein 100% whey Frosty Chocolate and I would love a good tasting high protein strawberry anything...but I tried the muscle milk light and I just can't do it.

I just found a Vitamin Shoppe locally and hopefully they can help me.

Try adding a tiny bit of sugar free pudding mix(any flavor you like) to your Protein Shake. Make sure you put it in a blender (not a shaker) with ice. Makes a huge difference. I can use Water or fat free milk for mine. I use Body Fortress Protein Powder. I have chocolate, vanilla & strawberry flavors.. Good luck...

I just tried something new - it's called Orgain high Protein Drink -- it's kind of expensive - $3.95 per 11 fl oz but it's a iced cafe mocha organic ready to drink nutritional shake - has 16 g Protein per serving and $255 calls, 60 fat calories per serving. I got it at Wholefoods .. it's pretty good! I'm not a big fan of Protein Drinks, so this helps me get some added protein into my day while drinking ... it tastes like an iced latte kind of drink (I put it in a glass of ice). This drink apparently has the equivalent of 10 servings of fruit and vegetables in it too - full of Vitamins and minerals, free of caffeine and artificial sweeteners & preservatives and gluten. Supposedly made by a doctor? Anyway, just wanted to share. And I also got a new Protein Bar at Wholefoods the other day - called NuGoSlim -- it's pretty good too ... dipped in real dark chocolate and has 15 gr. of protein per bar, 190 calories, and 60 are from fat. So, between one of those and the drink, I'm almost 1/2 to where I need to be re: protein daily, and then if I have some greek yogurt & some cheese, and maybe a few bites of chicken or tuna, I'm where I need to be requirement-wise. Yeah!!! Am going to try Jay Robb Chocolate Protein powder drink later too .. I've tried Jay Robb's unflavored whey protein powered, which isn't bad, but never tried the chocolate one, so I'll let you know how that tastes too -- am hoping mixed w/some skim milk and ice cubes and maybe 1/2 banana it will taste good ... Jay Robb's protein powder has plenty of protein in it (like 26 g), so if I can handle that w/some skim milk, that will totally boost my protein intake ... we'll see. have a great day everyone!

Also remember you can add unflavored Protein Powder to liquids without enough Protein like Soups, sf pudding, tea, coffee, cream of wheat, etc

I bought and tried a few brands prior to surgery and my favorite is Chike (www.chikenutrition.com).

The best one I have found is Matrix chocolate mint Cookies and cream- hard to find tgough, so I special order on Amazon. The mint disguises the Protein badness and it freezes into yummy fudge icles.

Visalus is awesome! Over 100 different recipes like butterfinger' date=' Peanut Butter cup, simply mix in different flavors of sugar free Jello pudding. go to my website at http://vrivers.bodybyvi.com you can order and have it delivered to you. the supplements are aweome too, Check it out![/quote']

I do NOT like Visalus at all! It doesn't mix that well, even in cool Water it was kinda clumpy and weird. Just not a fan, and it's so expensive, more than any of the others I've seen. Jut my honest opinion.

Nature's Bounty Vitamin Protein Shake is great. I use my blender to mix it.....good with Water or skim milk. I never tried a shaker so I don't know if that makes a difference (someone mentioned earlier their supplement should be used with a blender). I got at costco, but you can get at Walgreens, Drugstore.com, CVS and Amazon. Good luck all.

I agree, it's garbage and you can get more Protein from other shakes.

Have you tried Isopure zero carb drinks? 40g of Protein

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

      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! 😞
