Protein Drinks



Recommended Posts

I would recommend the Premier Protein shakes from costco. They come in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. You get a case of approximately 18 for $25, each one contains 30 grams of protein... make sure to drink them cold. The chocolate taste like chocolate milk to me!!!

All of my Premier shakes have been fine. Of course I drink them up so fast they don't have time to go bad. I like the Premier because they have 30 grams of Protein but if I was going for taste it would be Atkins Shakes, hands down. They taste like a rich vanilla milkshake, especially when really cold. I find its best to change it up and not stick to the same thing since that tends to cause food bordem. Also you can make your own shakes and add what ever flavors you want.

I have also had an issue with the premier shakes being abnormally thick. I took them back and exchanged em. Currently I am using a hydrolized Protein powder that is super easy to digest and taste ok.

My Doc. Told me to stay away from the ensure and Atkins because of the sugar content. But I had already bought a few so im am planning on using them up on my preop

Ensure, yes, it has like 25g carbs per shake.... But Atkins shakes have maybe 4 each!! They don't have as much Protein as other shakes but they def don't have sugar or high carb count...

If you have a decent blender at home, there are a ton of recipes for Protein Shakes using Protein Powder. I used, and sometimes still use pure Protein powder(25 g protein per scoop), either vanilla or chocolate, or for fruity drinks, I also used Syntrax Nectar, (23 g per scoop). Syntrax also makes unflavored protein powder that you can add to food & drinks. Personally, the ready made drinks tasted gross to me so I blended my own. My favorite shake was vanilla protein powder, 1/2 small frozen banana, 1/2 cup skim milk, Water & a tablespoon of PB2- yum!

costco had no problem at taking back a case of shakes, even if the case is half empty! I think it's a common problem but nothing else has that kind of Protein in such a small container with such low carbs. Very very cold is the only way I can drink it though :-) love it in a blender with some ice!

I tried the Premier shakes from costco and the chocolate ones got so thick it was like drinking gravy. I just tried the Pure Protein Shakes and those were SO much yummier! I got the frosty chocolate and vanilla creme flavors. There is also a Cookies and creme and strawberry creme I haven't tried. You can get these at Walmart. They have 35g Protein and 4carbs/1sugar. I highly recommend these over the Premier shakes.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
