Finally a Protein Drink I can handle!



Recommended Posts

Nectars by Syntrax has Protein Powder that has juice flavors. So far I have tried fuzzy navel and it is good. I mixed it with Water and crystal light. Definitely a break from milk based Protein Drinks. Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, bariatric pantry, and of corse the syntrax website all carry it, check it out.

My dietician recommended MuscleMilk Lite chocolate. Today was my first day to try it. Only allowed 4 oz (bottle is 8 oz), tasted good enough (after 2 weeks of clear liquids), and no running to the bathroom. It is like chocolate milk, but it is supposed to be formulated to be tolerated by lactose intolerant people. So far so good. They are pre-made and are 4 to a pack.

She also recommended platinum hydro-whey turbo chocolate. I haven't tried that one yet. It is a powder to be mixed with Water.

I also drink Isopure.. any flavor has 160 cals, 40gms Protein, 0 carbs. I buy it at GNC. I stock up when they reduce them to 1/2 price due to the expiration date. It usually has 2 months to expire.

I like pineapple orange banana , alpine punch and grape frost..

I also like the grape protein blitz...

Once in awhile I drink a strawberry banana protein shot( protein to go)

128 cals, 28gms protein and 5 carbs. Comes in 2.5 fl oz container. I buy them at Walgreens.

Has anyone tried the Designer whey "Protein 2 Go"? It's like a crystal light with 10g of Protein. I haven't bought it yet' date=' and was hoping for a review or two :)[/quote']

Hi All' date='

I'm fairly new to the boards and just started my pre-op diet today. I will be sleeved on 1/8/12-- whoo hoo!!! I cannot tolerate milk or milky substance things so I knew this whole Protein shake thing was going to be a challenge. So after much research I think I found something AWESOME! The "proteinblitz" by designer whey is brand new & 30g Protein, 1carb, 120 calories, & 1g sugar. When cold it tastes like grape kool-aid.

Enjoy!! Please share if you've found something you think is "non-milky" and good also.[/quote']

I personally like Syntrax nectar. I googled them as a sample packs and I got to taste every flavor and decide which ones I like and which ones I do. Mayne try thst route as well. I mix all mine with Water as I dont like the milkyness either

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
