Protein Drinks And Shakes, What Ones Are Good?



Recommended Posts

I was looking online today for Protein Drinks and shakes that I will need after surgery. Was wanting some input from everyone on what they have liked best? I found these drinks called Isopure and they look pretty good but haven't heard if they are good or not. Please anyone and everyone what have you liked>?

I started with Isopure Low Carb Protein Shake whick was good. I switched to another brand (soory forgot the name) but it was cheaper than the Isopure. The Isopure tasted better (dutch chocolate). Stay away form the Protein Shots the are totally discusting !!!!!

You'll get a lot of opinions on shakes here for sure. The best bet is to keep trying them yourself until you find a few that you really like. Tastebuds seem to change quite a bit after surgery and what you like now you may not after. Lots of online stores sell samples so you don't have to buy a big tub not knowing if you'd like it. I've traded samples of my Protein powders with other folks who had the surgery or were having it so we could all try different ones.

My current favorites are Pure Protein chocolate powder and Syntrax Mint chocolate cookie (tastes like melted mint chocolate chip ice cream) I also add flavorings to my chocolate shake to change it up a bit. You can mix in a spoonful of SF pudding mix of any flavor, use natural Peanut Butter, SF Torani syrups, cappella drops, SF extracts etc. I love the capella drops :) You can get them online as well.

HOpe you find some you like.

I've been using Atkins' Advantage, and it's so good. It's available in different flavors too

My program requires One bottle of Isopure Zero carb Protein Drink everyday post surgery. I think most of them taste really horrible BUT, I do like the green apple and one other one. So, I'm just gonna suck it up and drink one a day until I can start eating regular protien.

Hey Molly, Isopure is expensive (about $3-$4 per bottle), but the good thing is you can buy one bottle at a time to see what you like without being stuck with a case of something.

      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! 😞
