From VST I've learned that there is quality Protein and so so protein -- I had no idea before coming here!

I've tried a number of Protein shakes and a few protein powders (Syntrax Nector and Prescriptfit) and the only one that I can really stomach are the Atkins shakes. Does anyone know if they contain a quality protein or a low grade?

I ordered a bunch of samples from Unjury but I have a feeling I'm not going to fare much better with those based on what I've read here.

Thanks!

Dana

I really had a time finding the ingredients for the Atkins lines.

After reviewing them I would say if you just can't stomach whey, these would be a reasonably good alternative.

I also learned of another shake today. It's Jay Robb, it is egg based and stacks up pretty well in Protein quality.

Can you share what you found about the Atkins shakes/powder?

Unfortunately it's bad news for you Louise, Atkins gets its Protein from milk concentrate, soy, & gluten. Milk being the primary ingredient.

Soy & gluten are both incomplete Proteins, but since neither are the primary I think that it is a reasonable option for most people.

Bugger! But thanks for the quick response.

Says right on the pack "made with High Quality Protein" these I can stomach. Gastric Sleeve in March 2022 had a leek and could not tolerate Protein Shakes. I went 2 months on Jello, crystal light, and Protein gateraid. YUCK! I'm only now starting to get back in to drinking my shake b/c I just can't "eat" enough. A few bites and I'm done. I'm really loving this Mocha Latte flavor. Want to try some others!

I used to love Premier Protein before surgery.... Not I hate it. too sweet for me.... I have the Atkins Chai or Atkins coffee. Not the most amount of Protein but it tastes good to me .

Add a Protein booster to them and that should help get the amounts up closer to where you need them to be.

I’m assuming she means to add Protein Powder to them.

      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.
