Weigh In- Favorite Protein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

I really like Muscle Milk, both powdered and pre made. The powder mixes with Water, which makes it very portable as you can get water just about anywhere and the pre made ones are available at a lot of convenience stores. For the powder I like the vanilla. For the pre made, I like the Vanilla and banana Creame

It really is a very personal taste. You should buy sample packets and try them. I ordered the unjury Protein sample pack and I can't wait to try the different ones. I did the same with the nectar, etc. Presurgery I bought some rice Protein Powder in a big container and HATED IT. I am going to try it again sometime when I am brave (it was bad but I am stuck with it). Do yourself a favor and try samples! Much smarter and cost effective.

Bariatric Advantage is awesome as far as I am concerned. They also carry a Protein Drink called nectar that is YUMMY.

Thank you all! I've ordered a few sample packs and have picked up several at the Vitamin Shoppe! :) I think I'm good- just need to get some unflavored to mix in with my broth. :)

Thanks again- you guys rock!

I tried all of them that met the sugar/protein/calorie requirements both pre and post surgery.

Taste-wise, it was a tie between Muscle Milk Light and Premier Protein. However, with the Premier Protein, I am able to make it the full 6 hours until my next meal. With the Muscle Milk, I felt hungry again after 2 or 3 hours.

Up until March, the chocolate flavor was my favorite. However, now they seem to make the chocolate ones about 5x thicker, so it is a chore just to get it out of the carton. So my new fave is the strawberry Cream. vanilla is decent, but just not quite as good.

I am still pre op but I seem to like the Pure Protein Frosty chocolate 35 grm pre mixed one the best. I tend to mix it with a small amount of coconut Water and a spoonful of natutal Peanut Butter and blend smooth. I will be ordering the Unjury trial packs this week ..... my "plan" (fingers crossed) is to just use the unflavored in things post op ...... or the chicken Soup one. I am a salty more then sweet kind of girl and the thought of all those sweet shakes and bars kind of puts me off .... but as everyone says, who knows whati will like after surgery ..... :)

I have tried Isopure. I gagged trying to drink it, but then I diluted it in a jug of Water and was able to drink it. :)

Chike high Protein coffee. 20gr of protein. I make it w/water and crushed ice in the blender. It tastes just like a coffee frappe (shake) and has the equivalent of two espresso shots so I get my morning 'kick'. And, as a very happy bonus, I've been regular ever since I began using Chike three months ago. My Constipation problem is no more! :-)

      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?

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?
