Worried because I haven't found a protein shake yet.



Recommended Posts

I had a little trouble finding my "shake of choice" too. First of all, I don't really care for the powders, and I tend not to spend the time setting up, using, and cleaning the blender. So I needed a pre-made shake. But most of the shakes I tried were too sweet, or just tasted awful. But then I hit pay dirt. The best shake I've found - by a mile - is Premier Protein, chocolate (Vanilla's no good). But the chocolate is creamy and delicious (at least until you've eaten nothing but that for a few weeks, then anything gets old.) I'm four weeks post-surgery now, so I've been drinking them for 5-6 weeks. They have 30 grams of Protein, 160 calories, and only 1 gram of sugar. I have one every morning for Breakfast, and another at night if I'm short on my Protein intake for the day. You can get them in boxes of 18 at costco. Seriously, give them a try. They saved my butt. Good luck!

unjury makes a chicken Soup powder that I love! Tastes to me like regular chicken broth. You have to make sure you follow the directions and don't mix it with Water hotter then 140 degrees or it will clump and you will throw it away. I make hot Water in my Keurig coffee machine and let it sit for about 5 minutes to get to about 125 - 130 degrees. Add a scoop, stir and enjoy. I even made it for a friend of mine who "hates" Protein Drinks and she didn't know the difference. When you open the jar it even smells like chicken broth.< /p>

Others I like are: Syntrax Nectars Lemonade Stand; Premier Protein pre made in chocolate; Pure Protein Powder in chocolate.

When you try a brand, unfortunately you have to try the different flavors. Example: I HATE Unjury strawberry and Pure Protein vanilla! blech!

Good luck in your quest! :)

PS - Unjury will send you free samples to your doctor's office. They stopped sending them to individuals, but if you call with your doc's info, they will send to you through the doc. (Probably loosing too much money on samples!)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
