Protein drinks - GAG



Recommended Posts

not much that I no of. So go to ebay or google muscle milk and check out the variety root beer, mocha joe, some kinda mango. Well take a look.

Then click on muscle milk light and see what they have to offer.

Do they have anything that tastes like buttered popcorn? I don't usually like sweet drinks/foods at all (except a little ice cream now and then), and the idea of Protein drinks for the liquid stage is yucky to me, although I will do it if I have to. What other options for Liquid Protein are there for someone who likes savory flavors best?

I actually liquidised "real" food - in that we had a roast chicken on night, so I took some skinless roast chicken (I reserved some of the breast for me), some steamed vegetables, perhaps 1/4 of a potato and some gravy and added a lot of liquid chicken stock, blended it all up so that it would go through a straw. Did the same with spaghetti bolognaise - took the meat sauce, a few bits of cooked spaghetti, added a can of tomatoes and turned it soupy. Vegetable and lentil Soup with loads of organic veges and brown lentils. liquids means anything that goes through a straw and with stock, a can of tomatoes or Water you can blend most things up.

I had as normal a diet as possible during liquids and I found them easy easy easy, and because the liquids I made were filling, I took in less calories than I would have done eating rubbish like jelly, ice cream or loads of juice (all of which were also allowed).

Before I started doing this I was trying to use up the Optifast as well as juice and V8 etc and I was getting disoriented and ended up having fainting spells.

I drink 2 shakes a day because of my restriction and not being able to eat at work due to stress.

For me, GNC Nitro-Tech at 110 calories and 22 grams of Protein is the best. The chocolate tastes like melted ice cream and I drink it hot in the morning like a mug of hot chocolate.< /p>

The vanilla is great by itself, but if I add 1/4 tsp of sugar-free Jello, I get any flavor I want. Think orange creamsicles . . . . yummmmmm. Or instant coffee for cappacino.

I've tried a lot of shakes and this brand is my favorite.

Someone posted recently a Protein Drink that they thought was great. It is called ISOPURE...I'm going to try it the next time I am close to a GNC store. Good Luck!

I just got one yesterday it has 50 grms prot, and about 220 cal and the fruit ones have no carbs, I opptted for the choc and it has 2 carbs. I found it a bit watery but very good flavor. I am thinking of using half skim and half Water next time..I am going to use this for breakfast daily...it seems to be easier than cereal.. I will probably still have my malt o meal once in a while...I got the 2 gal bucket..lol it was $93. you may beable to get it on ebay for less...geri:clap2:

Lol, believe it or not it is entirely possible to be a very successful bandster without ever drinking Protein shakes!

I prefer to get my Protein from its original source, I never ever drink Protein shakes. I hate them and they're too much a "processed" food for my liking.

I abhor Protein drinks. They all taste nasty and artificial to me.

Jachut, what are you typically eating in a day to get your protein in? I'm newly banded, so I'm still struggling to find what works for me.

Hey all , here's my two cents...I use Advant Edge Soy Protein 20g protein, vanilla ! No bad taste at all. I got it at Walmart. I like to mix it with a can of Atkins Advantage chocolate Royale or Vanilla shake cans..I add these in my blender with some ice and a little 1% milk and it taste just like a REAL milk shake..:hungry: Its real filling too.

I drink the clear flavored Isopure form GNC but I doctor them up somewhat. I put a couple of slices of lime and some crushed strawberries in them with lots of crushed ice. It's similar to the strawberry limeade form Sonic.

i went to (i think this is the website..) www.bariatriceating.com and they have single servings of different Protein mixes. I LLOVE that i was able to try a bunch out.

i really like the nectar iced tea and lemonade and nectar Twisted cherry. the isofruitcantaloupe is very wnderful...

bad thing about the single packets is that i forget what i ordered!

my coworkers got me 2 big boxes of myoplex light chocolate and myoplex strawberry. they're good with some Peanut Butter but I feel they make too big of a serving, guess i could always put it back n the fridge for later - not sure why THAT never crossed my mind before!

I really like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (ordered online)........... their strawberry is good and I really like the chocolate. I liked Hank's, but I've read that they have not been completely honest on their labels regarding the true amount of sugar, etc.

I agree. I drink Unjury in milk every morning and it's good. It's like chocolate milk. Do try the chocolate. Lately, I've had diarrhea so I added some chocolate Citrocel to my Unjury and it is pretty good. I just hope it works.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
