Which Protein Drink



Recommended Posts

I just came home from the the hospital yesterday. I got my sleeve on Weds. Feeling ok. I'm looking for a tasty refreshing Protein Drink not a shake. I have Cytosprt whey isolate Protein drink (Tropical flavor) but that flavor is not so good after while. Any Suggestions?

I tried the mango peach and it's pretty bad. Tastes like bad medicine. Do you mix it with anything maybe?

I'm drinking something called Proti 15 comes in all different flavors. Ever flavor is awesome. I get them from my Doctors office but you can also buy on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=Bariatrix%20Nutrition%20Corp.&index=hpc&search-type=ss Best thing in the world. I advise to try it. LEmon is the best. Just mix 1 packet with 8 oz. of Water and mix.

I like Isoflex whey Protein Shake in Peanut Butter and chocolate flavor. It comes in a powder and I mix it with either almond milk or lowfat acidofilus milk. Got it at complete nutrition, but I'm sure you can get it online. They also have a mint chocolate chip flavor that sounds good. They also have a iced tea you mix with Water that I heard is good. Has 27 grams og Protein per serving

I've been going to places like Sprouts (formerly Sun Harvest) and Whole Foods Market to get the single-serving packs of various shakes, so I won't have to waste money and commit to a whole container.

My most favorite one was Garden of Life Raw Protein - Real Raw vanilla. I had it with SO Delicious Coconut Milk (Original) (one of the employees suggested that the taste would be better). I also put a little packet of Starbucks instant Decaf coffee...and WOW!

It was sooooo goooooood! NO aftertaste at all. It was like having a Frapuccino!

The only issue I have is that the coconut milk and the single serving of the mix altogether had a total Protein of 18 grams, and a total of 11 of carbs. Carbs should be under 30 grams (I think?). 3 shakes a day will put me 3 grams over, but it has 3 grams of fiber...so will that make a difference? But the mix does have a lot of other good stuff, like Vitamins A, D, E, and K, and Probiotics and enzymes. And NO JUNK! I'm probably going to have to get different flavors of the same product and test them out too. I'm not too keen on chocolate and strawberry flavored Protein Shakes, but I have a feeling that if I stick to the same brand, I'll like them just as much as the vanilla.< /span>

I'll have to e-mail the nutritionist. It's just that I finally found a protein shake mix that agrees with me...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
