The gladiator protein powder from smoothie king



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used the gladiator Protein Powder from smoothie king?

I was wondering how people are liking it or not. I'm 3 days post op and I'm struggling to get my minimum of 80 grams of Protein l... The gladiator had 40grams per serving so I was thinking of getting it for the high protein content.

I had my surgery July1 and am also having trouble with Protein. Did you try the gladiator??

I haven't tried it yet. I don't want to buy one when I know I won't be able to finish even the kid size... I hate to waste money...

If you try it let me know!

I use it. It's ok. My favorite is the unflavored Unjury in fruit punch crystal light

I tried it and it was ok. A little strong. Not sure if I would be able to use it at home and drink it.

Just don't put fruit in it if you are still on full liquids. I basically drink 2 shakes a day, 1 Water with Protein and Soup and about 4-5 sugar free Popsicles. I was sleeved on 7/17

Gladiator is the only Protein drink I can stomach. I like it. I have them out strawberry and kiwi in. It's expensive though' date=' like 5 a pop.[/quote']

You can buy the powder and make them at home but it is $50...I jut don't think they would taste the same admin the store.... I was sleeved 7/1

I love Gladiator Protein drinks! I buy the big tub. My NUT says I should use only one scoop and mix with milk. That makes it 22.5 g protein per serving. Not sure why she wouldn't want me to go ahead and get the full 45g in one sitting??

I am trying to taste a few ......I went to smoothie king and ordered a strawberry gladiator he asked me which two fruits I wanted in it .....I told him none and he looked at me like I was crazy and told me that I needed to put fruits in it for texture and taste or I wouldn't like it.....I put strawberry and banana and it's really good! My question is, do you guys add fruit to it, or just mix the powder with Water or milk?

Found this older post a friend was telling me today about Smoothie King and the Gladiator Protein smoothies. If you add any fruits other than one serving of pineapple or mango sorbet you go over the suggested sugar intake per meal. Has anyone tried these lately and how did you like it?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
