What Protein Shakes Do You Use?

[InkedEmpress 3]

I have been drinking Muscle Milk for quite some time and my dietician said you can also but what I find is the scoops are pretty big. So to get the 32g of Protein with 2 scoops you have to make a bigger shake otherwise it's mega sweet.

The best absorbable and it's not a thick shake it is Water consistency and good is Isopure plus zero carb, for 8oz 60 cal and 15 prot, I get mine through mail at supplementwearhouse.com it is a pure Protein isolate. They also have the 20 oz bottle with 40prot and I think 180cal.

Does anyone know how many grams of carbs and sugar a Protein Drink should have also calories...I'm 10 days post op and I have cans of pure Protein they have from 150-170 calories and some are 1,2,3 or 4 grams of carbs. And either 1 or 2 grams of sugar they are pre made in 11 ounce cans..are those ok to drink and if so should I drink 2 a day so I can get my, protein in..I tried other Protein Drinks and can't handle the taste..so I hope these are ok but if not I would rather know I want to do things right...any input would be appreciated

Try Jay Robb whey Protein Powder. Not bad tasting and if you double the scoops you can get 50gm for 220 calories in only 6oz. Of Fluid to drink. And it's the whey isolate. The good stuff. I bought it in the Kroger health food section.

I use pure Protein and my NUT recommended them too.

Isopure, vanilla zero carbs sugar and fat. I mix it with sugar free torini to add all kinds of flavors. ,25grams of protien 105cal. Per scoop, whey base. I also mix with . ,30 cal silk unsweetened almond milk.

I just tried the Pure Protein chocolate and really like that one. They have vanilla also. Each has 25G of Protein. I got it at Walmart. I also tried Matrix Mint Choc cookie and it was good too but, more for an afternoon shake for me.

I do the Pure Protein ready to drink frosty chocolate and get them from Amazon. They have ones on there that are even higher in protein. Never caused stomach issues and they tasted pretty good. I'm getting ready to try the Chike since they have one that is an iced coffee Protein Drink. The Chike are more like a Meal Replacement then just a Protein Shake though. But I don't think extra Vitamins would be a bad thing.

I would say to ask your nutritionist about it but I honestly like the Pure Protein ready to drink. They have two different sets one is 25 g of protein and one is 35. I get the 35 ready made in Frosty chocolate. Love it so much. It's really good to chill and put in a glass with lukewarm or cool coffee and make an iced coffee out of it. I would say if you used it in place of a meal you would be ok, but def ask first if you are concerned at all. I haven't had surgery yet but I'm def going to use these for my preop diet.

My Dr doesn't allow caffeine. So I have to go with Decaf. It has to be lukewarm as hot will destroy the protien. You body absorbsabout 25 gm per sitting of protein I keep my sugar 5 grams per serving I use Isopure from my protein vanilla flavor and add sugar free torini to change up flavors

I also fix it with Almond milk 30 cal silk.

I got nectar on Amazon if you do the subscribe and save there's no shipping even if you cancel your next order they go from $15-$27 just depends on flavor. I like strawberry kiwi chocolate truffle vanilla torte Roadside Lemonade Twisted cherry and Cappuccino the non fruit in mix with soy or skim milk.

I hate the after taste of artificial sweeteners. What's the best Protein Shake or mix for me to try? I have not even started a pre-op diet, but know I will have to whenever I get my surgery date set and I'd like to start trying them out now so I'll know what I like when the liquids only time comes.

[padlrd 183]

You need to make sure if your dr has one they use pre op my dr required me to use Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement for 2 weeks pre op but I had to do it 4 weeks first 2 weeks 2 shakes and one meal a day weeks 3&4 had 5 shakes a day during the whole 4 weeks could have broth sugar free Jello pudding Popsicle fudgesicles ( only 1 a day) and sugar free drinks no caffeine or carbonated drinks at least 64 oz fluids a day total includes all fluids day before surgery only Clear Liquids
