I officially HATE protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

I hate them too. I drink 1/2 EAS dark chocolate with my morning pills and the other half at some point during the day. That's all I can tolerate. I am trying to get my Protein from somewhere, anywhere else. I bought that Protein Shake book too. While it gives you good ideas, ugh just the thought of another shake makes me gag.

I'm trying the nectar brand shakes. I honestly like Fuzzy Navel. At Vitamin shop, and some stores have single packs so you can try the different varieties.

I have a Protein shake to start most every day. Primarily I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor, skim milk and ice. To change it up I add banana, PB2, or Torani sugar free Salted Carmel Syrup. I also use Chike coffee Protein Powder. Chike mixed with chocolate Splendor makes a great Mocha Flavor. Some of the Syntrax Nectars are good, I prefer Fuzzy Navel

I rarely have a pre made Protein Shake but when I do it is Premier Chocolate or vanilla. I found that the shakes I make myself are much better tasting

I chucked all the Protein Shakes in the garbage! All the huge containers of loose Protein mixes, all of it! Ugh disgusting all of them, every single one I tried... plus they made me too full I wouldn't eat a single thing. I got Protein Shots. They are 2.3oz the same size of an energy shot. Chug it down and be done with it. 32 grams. That's the only way I can do it. And I lost 120 pounds and just at about 10mths so apparently the protein shakes weren't a must. Tweek when needed to fit your own needs :)

Which Dr. gives these shots. This sounds like a plan. Do you do them yourself? How often are the injections?

I think shes talking about the shots like you would get at a bar.. not needles. Like a 5 hour energy.

I cannot stand Protein shakes! I've tried everything and end up gagging in disgust! It also makes my mouth dry and my tongue feels coated and furry. It only happens when I have the Protein Shakes. At least that means I'm getting Water in!

I agree putting them in the freezer is the ticket. I just tried it for the first time right now and it was like drinking a chocolate shake. I used Premier Protein.< /p>

I have tried quite a few Protein Shakes. I found out about nectar Protein shakes and I have really enjoyed those. They taste a lot like fruit juices and they go down easy.

Try adding a product I got from GNC called PB2. Its powder form Peanut Butter flavor. I couldn't take the protien skakes either until I added this to it and now they are amazing with chocolate protien shakes! Only $4 elsewhere its $9. Try it and good luck!!!!

Try Zeal for Life protein! The vanilla is wonderful. You can mix with juice or milk. I especially like it with acai berry juice. I like it best blended with ice but no ice was great the first few days post op.

Zeal can be ordered online....zealforlife website.

hate them myself. I didn't go through this surgery and lifestyle change to subsist on Protein drinks and even just thinking about it nauseates me...except for the Chike coffee shake. That shake is pretty freaking awesome (just know there are 2 shots of real espresso in each packet) but even that shake, I can only tolerate once a week at most...

For those who bought the book, The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes, what are your thoughts on it? I am thinking about buying it.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
