Another Protein Drink ?



Recommended Posts

I am on my pre-op diet and having a hard time drinking the Protein Drinks. I currently am drinking the Premier Protein ones from costco, the chocolate flavor. I don't really care for the thickness of it as I have never been a fan of any kind of shakes. Do you think it would hurt if I poured it over ice and drank it that way?

Try whatever works. I usually have to dilute any type Protein drink. Extra liquid is always good

I blend mine with ice all the time and add flavored food extracts (coconut, raspberry,etc and PB2 powder sometime to change up the flavor

I like the EAS Carb Control ready to drink . They are 100 calories and least 17 grams of Protein. They are also a thinner consistentcy in my opinion. I buy them at Target or Rite Aid. I like the taste and they are convenient.

I'm on day two. Do you have Trader Joe's by you? Their Protein is so good.

Also one of my friends recommended Vega shakes, they have them at Whole Foods and natural food stores. They only have plant Protein. The flavor is very different from anything else. So if you are bored, I would try that!

I have also made broth on the stove and added spices and garlic, it's not bad!

Have been drinking Protein Shakes for a long time and my favorite is SIx Star - Isopure chocolate favor from Walmart. Its powder form you just mix it with Water (or milk i guess but to me its empty calories). one scoop is only 130 calories and 30 grams of Protein. I mix it with 8oz but if you want it even thinner you can add more water.

You totally can!! Or blend it with ice! :)

Hang in there! This is one of the hardest parts!! Push through days 3-4 and you'll be OK! :)

I use the Atkins shakes. They have 15gr of Protein. I get them at sams club for 12 for 15 dollars. I also like the package. The top can be taken off and on. I work as an RN and sometimes I don't get breaks. I can drink this in between running around the unit.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
