New Help choosing a Protein Shake



Recommended Posts

My only choices are Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal Replacement (any of the 5 flavors), powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder (any of the 5 flavors), Premier High Protein shake (pre-made) (any of the 3 flavors), Body Fortress whey Protein Powder (any of the 5 flavors), or the SlimFast 321 Low Carb shakes.< /p>

Also I have to mix the Bariatric Advantage and Body Fortress with Water and the Unjury with Fat-Free Milk.

So what do you all think? What was your favorite Protein Shake and which flavor?

I am so excited about this journey but this is what is going to scare the hell out of me!

I'm glad your excited about your journey. My first question is...why are those your only choices?? Alot of people either love or hate Isopure. I personally will be picking some up to try it because I can mix it with G2. Right now I use Premier Protein shakes that I got on sale. Its really up to you on what you like. Word of warning to you, things will not taste the same after surgery so you may not like what you have chosen before hand! Good luck!

My surgeon's office wants us to only use those five choices. I don't remember why but they did tell us in the Nutrition class.

I just hate to buy it and then not like it...lol!

I'm drinking the Trim Fit from GNC. The chocolate Peanut Butter isn't too bad. Kinda have that after taste sometimes. It's tolerable though

I'd research the reason why, most clinics get a kick back from you purchasing it, but maybe your surgeon has a good reason. Let us know!

Well they only sale two of the five and we don't have to drink them but they have them available instead of ordering them online.

I wish I could just get a trial pack of all of them to try them all out...lol

I love the premier premade shakes too!! I've only had chocolate and vanilla since that's what they have at Costco! Lol But they're so easy to grab and go and they actually taste good. I even have my husband hooked on them now! :)

      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!!
