I hate protein shakes :-(



Recommended Posts

Hold your noise girl. It sucks! I hate Protein Shakes to the fullest and haven't found one I like yet so it's torture getting them down. The best one, if you can even call it that, is the "Premier Protein" from costco the chocolate kind. It is the best tasting, if you can call it that either lol, and has 30g of Protein per shake. I have heard the "Nectar" shake powder in cappucinno and the chocolate truffle is delicious. Going to order some this weekend. Good luck. It sucks but you have to do it. Time to step out of the comfort zone and just do what you have to do even if you don't want to. This whole process is about doing things and going through things you don't want to. It starts now so practice it. It's a HUGE change. We are all here to support you and be that sholder to cry on. :)

I am amazed as too how many of you need to be on liquid diets for weeks prior to surgery. I was placed on 1200 cal.for one week and liquid for day before surgery. ..my surgery was last Wednesday. ..my husband Is scheduled for sleeve on 2/11 and he too was told only liquids day before surgery...well anyhow. .premier Protein Shake from costco is best...especially when its very cold.

I really enjoy the Atkins cafe caramel Protein shake. I also enjoy the nectar that is the roadside lemonaide flavor. I mix a scoop with 16 oz of Water and a packet of crystal light. It tastes really good!

I was the same way about Protein shakes, but now I love my atkins once so much, I have one a day...

Good luck with everything!

Anyone hear of protizyme?? People say it is good (reviews online) but that it is kind of expensive. I don't really care about the price if I can stomach it haha.

I mix a scoop of vanilla Protein Powder with a tablespoon or two of SF instant pistachio pudding mix with skim milk and a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt. It's delicious.

Ok I'm with you on disliking Protein Shakes. What i have found to get my Protein is Isopure clear per mixed and also fit frappe by big train. You can make it hot cold or blended with ice! Favorite!! I don't like the foamy texture. I'm a little three months out and 64 lbs down! Good luck!

You can buy single serve samples of Protizyme at Nashua Nutrition online. You can try the different flavors for $1.95 each rather than buy a whole tub. They sell Syntrax samples & others as well. It really helped me out 'cause ones I thought would be good really weren't.

I have tried several Protein Drinks. GNC has one called Wheybolic (not the plain Whey!!) that does not have a nasty taste. Even my daughter likes it. Also the Bariatric Advantage are good. They have many flavors on their website. What about Greek yogurts? My Dr lets me eat these. Good luck!

      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!!
