Shakeology



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I've tried every brand and flavor of Protein drinks and I cannot find one that doesn't taste like a Multivitamin...yuck! powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Pure Protein, the Gladiator etc. My friend sells Shakeology but before I bought some I wanted to see if any of you tried it yet. I still need to do some research, I know.

This is getting very frustrating for me. I know I'm not getting all my protein in.

I LOVE shakeology. It really is one of the better tasting Protein Shakes out there. It does not have the 20g + like the others, but it really is yummy. I like the chocolate. The Greenberry is not my thing, it has a strange after taste, to me. Now, you have to decide is it worth the $100 for 30 servings? If she sells it, she should be able to provide you with a sample. Hope this helps.

Thanks!!! At this point I'm willing to shell out a little more dough. I'm tired of wasting money trying everything, just to gag and throw it away.

You can mix it with anything! (Depending on if your dr says its ok) I mix it Water or coffee. Almond milk is good, also.

For 3+$ a serving, you could get a really good quality blender and make your own combos and add unflavored protien to them.

unjury unflavored protien makes a good shake...I mix it with green juice and bee pollen and cantalaupe, butternut squash, even skinny cow and milk...and more

I was really disappointed with Unjury as well. I do like their unflavored to add into other things, though.

Muscle Milk vanilla doesn't have that Multi-Vitamin flavor. I wonder if you could get some free samples from their website?

I use GNC Pro Performance Vanilla powder. chocolate is also good, but I like the versatility of vanilla. I buy the 5 lb bottle which is 78 servings and if you have a GNC Gold Card you can get it discounted. It is about $1 per serving at full price, so you can surely beat the cost of Shakeology. I add a little milk and ice cubes, and this makes a huge shake for Breakfast. One scoop is 20 gms Protein and I blend it with vanilla greek yogurt, sometimes 1/4 cup blueberries, and I also have DaVinci flavored syrups. My favs are hazelnut, french vanilla (which punches up the flavor of the protein powder) and amaretto. I bought my syrups online. I know a lot of people on here use Torani syrups also. For the price I would give it a try. And of course you don't have to buy the super jumbo size. Happy testing...K

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
