Need Protein drink ideas



Recommended Posts

I have had the same problem. I just find ways to dress them up a little and stay within the guide lines of what I can have. At first I hated the chocolate that I got from GNC, but then I added 8 ounces of milk, and three frozen cherries and it was much more palatable! I know when I can add my fruits to them again I will be happy with the vanilla! As the fruit is what makes the taste! Wish I could help you more then that! but its hard to tell someone else what they will like, when you don't really enjoy them yourself!

My favorite premixed shakes, I get from Wal-Mart and Sam's Club - EAS Carb Control chocolate fudge and Premier Protein chocolate. Premier slightly edges out EAS for my tastes.

I get the vanilla body fortress from Walmart. I flavor it with Apple pie spice or imitation banana,strawberry,or raspberry flavorings. Sometimes I use sugar free Hershey chocolate or strawberry Syrup. Lots of combos with these ingredients. chocolate banana or strawberry banana, etc.

I only do unflavored...I mix it with Vitamin Water and freeze...for ready made shakes, I like eas advantage. Sometimes i mix the vanilla eas with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.. Eas us not thick, which I like.

I agree with the Premier Protein Shakes- I can get them at costco (chocolate is better) for about $25 for 18. That lasts me 9 days but they have some of the highest grams of Protein per shake out there with 30. I love that they are portable and if you put them in the freezer for about 30 min before you have it, it is sooo much better. At home I mix a full shake with about 1/2 cup crushed ice and a half banana and it makes all the difference.

Just had the most incredible tasting Protein shake. Syntrax Matrix 2.0 Peanut Butter cookie flavor. Tasted like a REAL Peanut Butter cookie. Bought it from the store at my Bariatric Center.

Check out Isopure. It tastes like Gatorade, comes in a bunch of flavors, and has 40grams of whey Protein in a 20oz bottle. I buy mine from GNC. I also started drinking Protein shakes from Jay Robb. (his name and picture are on the package) (GNC) It tastes so smooth you forget you are drinking a Protein shake.

I love the Designer whey in White chocolate with 8oz Lactaid milk. The Lean Protein in Chocolate is fantastic - that is premixed and powder. The Isopure is pretty good - all kinds of flavors.

There are two I have found over the years that I like pretty well. I am a very picky eater, I must have tried 100 different Protein powders over the years.

The first one I like the best is called "nectar" You can get it @ GNC or Vitamin World. It comes in 30 flavors or so. One scoop has 27gm Protein, no sugars. I get the tropical flavor, I mix one scoop of powder, one individual crystal light fruit punch packet, and add Water. I love this in the summer because its made with Water not milk. It's light not heavy.

The other one I like that I just started using is called Bariatric Advantage. Again, not super heavy because you use water to mix.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
